On Friday, Paramount+ With Showtime released the first photos from the upcoming drama, which chronicles the adolescence of the serial-killer character played by Michael C. Hall in the original series. We’ll watch as circa 1991 Dexter is unable to control his “bloodthirsty urges,” per the official logline, and learns to “channel his inner darkness.”

Instrumental in that process is Dexter’s adoptive father, Harry, played by Christian Slater ( Mr. Robot ) in the prequel (and James Remar in the original). Dexter’s sister, Debra, portrayed by Jennifer Carpenter in the original, now will be played by Molly Brown ( Billions ). Patrick Gibson ( Shadow and Bone ) plays the titular role.

The photos released today give us a glimpse of the Morgan family, and the images also hint at Dexter’s burgeoning Dark Passenger.

The series’ cast also includes James Martinez ( Love, Victor ) as a younger version of Batista; Christina Milian ( Grandfathered ) as a younger version of LaGuerta; Alex Shimizu ( The Blacklist ) as a younger version of Masuka; and Reno Wilson ( Good Girls ) as Bobby Watt, a longtime partner and friend to Dexter Harry.
