Summary

  • Dexter: Resurrection will air in July 2025, followed by a second season of Original Sin.
  • Fans speculated about time jump in Original Sin season 2, but Harry Morgan will be returning
  • Second season of Original Sin is likely to pick up shortly after season 1, exploring more of Harry Morgan’s storylines.

In July 2025, “Dexter: Resurrection” will appear on TV screens, with Michael C. Hall’s return being followed by a second season of the prequel series titled “Original Sin,” which was recently given the green light. In “Original Sin,” Patrick Gibson portrayed young Dexter, while Christian Slater and Molly Brown played Harry and Debra Morgan respectively. Recently, at a Paramount upfront event, Debra Morgan (played by Molly Brown) hinted at the potential timeline for the second season, suggesting that it might not involve a significant time leap.

In the speculation among fans regarding a potential change in timeline following the first season of Original Sin, actress Molly Brown has confirmed that Christian Slater will reprise his role as Harry Morgan. This implies that any major time leap may be avoided, since the character’s life span is presumably nearing its end.

In December 2024, “Dexter: Original Sin” was a massive success for Paramount + and Showtime, leaving fans excitedly anticipating news of its renewal once it ended airing in February 2025. Unsurprisingly, the series was indeed renewed in April, ensuring that Dexter’s origin tales will continue for at least another season. The main point of contention regarding the prequel series has revolved around the impending demise of Harry Morgan, whose days may be numbered. However, it appears that Molly Brown has hinted on her Instagram page that the patriarch of the Morgan family has more seasons ahead.

The show has officially been renewed for a second season, so I’ll be working with Christian Slater for another year.

Working with Christian Slater again in an outstanding TV universe next year is like pulling off the perfect crime, but actress Brown can’t help but express her delight as she gets to work alongside one of Hollywood’s finest for at least another season.

Dexter: Original Sin Showrunner, Clyde Phillips Has Previously Stated That He’d Like To Keep Harry Morgan Around For As Long As Possible

One intriguing aspect of the first season of “Dexter: Original Sin” was delving into the character of Harry Morgan, not just in the 1970s timeline but also the significant events of 1991. Given that Dexter’s adoptive father passed away in 1992, it seemed there wasn’t much room for Harry in “Original Sin.” However, during the publicity tour for the premiere season of “Dexter: Original Sin,” its showrunner, Clyde Phillips, hinted to Variety that this may not be entirely true.

Over numerous conversations with Christian, we’ve discussed this topic extensively. When you watch the entire series, spanning 10 episodes, it unfolds within just two or three weeks. We aim to continue involving Christian and Harry in future events for an extended period, but our ultimate goal is to keep them as part of the storyline for a long time. The production of “New Blood” followed a similar pattern; it was set from right before Christmas until shortly after.

The plot of Original Sin’s second season seems to indicate that it will unfold shortly after the dramatic events of the first season, spanning roughly a few weeks. This setup is advantageous as it offers more opportunities for Harry Morgan-centric narratives, delighting Christian Slater fans. However, some viewers may be disappointed because this pacing might delay Original Sin from aligning with the original Dexter series timeline.

It’s worth noting that Harry Morgan will eventually meet his on-screen demise in a future season of Original Sin, leaving Dexter to grapple with his dark passenger without his adoptive father’s guidance. Nevertheless, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Christian Slater will depart the show entirely. Intriguingly, he could continue appearing as Dexter’s Ghost.

In the event that a third season is commissioned, we can expect Harry Morgan to remain alive and thriving in Original Sin.
