July 18 (UPI) -- Paramount+ with Showtime is giving a glimpse of the Dexter prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin .

The streaming service shared first-look photos for the show Thursday featuring Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter Morgan.

Dexter: Original Sin is a prequel to the Showtime series Dexter , which aired from 2006 to 2013. The original series starred Michael C. Hall as Dexter, a vigilante serial killer.

Original Sin takes place in Miami in 1991, 15 years before the beginning of Dexter . The show follows young Dexter (Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer.

The photos introduce Gibson as Dexter, Christian Slater as Dexter's adoptive father, Harry Morgan , and Molly Brown as Dexter's younger sister, Debra Morgan. One image appears to show Dexter mid-kill.

"When his bloodthirsty urges can't be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcements' radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department," an official synopsis reads.

Other cast members include Sarah Michelle Gellar , Patrick Dempsey , James Martinez, Christina Milian , Alex Shimizu and Reno Wilson.

Dexter: Original Sin is produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips will return as an executive producer.
