As a seasoned gamer and Dexter fanatic with over two decades of binge-watching under my belt, I must say that the prospect of Michael C. Hall making a cameo in Dexter: Original Sin is nothing short of exhilarating! The anticipation for Dexter’s return has been like a dark passenger lurking in the back of our minds since his “death” in Dexter: New Blood, and any tidbit about his resurrection (pun intended) is welcome news.


The long-awaited arrival of “Dexter: Original Sin” is almost here! Starting December 13, 2024, you can catch it on Paramount+ with Showtime. Michael C. Hall will lend his voice as the internal monologue of Dexter, and there’s a possibility he might even appear in person in “Original Sin.” Such news is sure to delight fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming sequel series, “Dexter: Resurrection.

Fans are eager to understand how Dexter Morgan seems to have survived in the Resurrection timeline, given that his son Harrison shot him in a snowy forest near Iron Lake, upstate New York. The fact that an actor has been chosen for the role of ‘Iron Lake Doctor’ in Original Sin has sparked theories that Dexter’s backstory might delve into the present timeline, potentially implying that Michael C. Hall could make an appearance in Original Sin before reprising his role in Resurrection.

Since Michael C. Hall’s unexpected presence at San Diego Comic Con 2024 confirmed he’d narrate “Original Sin” and star in the upcoming series “Resurrection”, fans have been eagerly guessing how Dexter’s survival would be addressed. The anticipation was set to continue until summer 2025 when “Resurrection” debuted, but it seems that timeline might change. It appears as though “Original Sin” could intertwine with the sequel series, as Dante Myles has been cast as the ‘Iron Lake Doctor.’ Given a doctor from the town where Dexter resides in “New Blood” wouldn’t realistically appear in Miami back in 1991, the most plausible explanation is that there will be a flash-forward element to the prequel show.

Dexter: Original Sin - Should Michael C. Hall Make A Cameo?

If the storyline of Original Sin includes scenes set in the future, it’s quite probable that Michael C. Hall would be featured in those sequences given how gravely injured Dexter Morgan appeared after getting shot in the chest. This could offer viewers an intriguing glimpse into how Dexter manages to survive before delving into his past to explain his origins. It’s not unprecedented for a prequel series to adopt this narrative strategy, as Better Call Saul did so by depicting Jimmy/Saul’s future timeline under the alias Gene Takovic in the snowy landscapes of Nebraska.

An Appearance By Michael C. Hall In Original Sin Would Be Great But It Needs To Avoid Overshadowing His Origin Story

In the upcoming series, Dexter: Original Sin, audiences will delve into the origin story of Dexter, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the storyline will be confined to the past. Michael C. Hall, who played the original Dexter, is serving as an executive producer and lending his distinctive voice for Dexter’s internal monologue. It’s possible that Hall might also appear physically in the series, but if he does, it would likely be a brief cameo to preserve Patrick Gibson’s portrayal of the younger Dexter.

In a subtle yet intriguing manner, the audience will be given a sneak peek into what lies ahead in Resurrection, without unveiling too much of the main plot for the upcoming sequel series. Dexter waking up could also be blended with his narration in Original Sin, hinting that he is recounting his life’s story from the current timeline. As an alternative possibility, perhaps the occurrences in Original Sin symbolize Dexter’s memories surfacing during a near-death experience before he is revived in Resurrection.
