As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the gritty world of Dexter Morgan, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation as I delve into the upcoming prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin. The prospect of exploring the 1970s era, particularly the lead-up to the tragic demise of Laura Moser, is like unearthing a long-lost level in my favorite game.


As a gamer, I’m super hyped about diving back into the world of Dexter Morgan! Instead of joining him in 1991 at Miami Metro Homicide, it looks like we’ll be stepping into his shoes during Harry Morgan’s detective days in the 1970s. This exciting change in timeline has got fans buzzing about what these flashbacks might reveal about Dexter’s past. One intriguing theory is that they could delve into a significant event from his history – can’t wait to find out more!

There’s a good possibility that the flashback to the 1970s will uncover fresh information about the murder of Dexter’s mother, Laura Moser. This theory is supported by the casting choices, with Brittany Allen playing Laura Moser, and Carlo Mendez and Randy Gonzalez portraying her killers, Hector Estrada and Santos Jimenez respectively.

Dexter: Original Sin Will Have Flashbacks To The 1970s Era

It’s been verified that the movie “Dexter: Original Sin” will delve into the 1970s setting, as evidenced by Dexter Daily sharing photos taken on July 30, 2024 during filming. In these images, Christian Slater portrays Harry Morgan and Reno Wilson plays his partner, Bobby Watt. They are both decked out in 1970s attire, and it seems they were shooting a scene involving an undercover police operation, complete with a vintage Miami police car from the era.

It seems like some additional photos depict what appears to be a real-life crime scene, with Harry offering comfort to a relative of one of the victims. A corpse and a hearse are visible too. This scene might be reminiscent of Dexter’s mother, Laura Moser’s, crime scene; however, it could also be an unrelated case that ties into events unfolding in the year 1991 timeline instead.

The 1970s Flashbacks Could Reveal A Different Version Of Events That Led Up To Laura Moser’s Murder

Dexter: Original Sin - What Could The 1970s Flashbacks Reveal?

The circumstances surrounding the death of Dexter’s mother, Laura Moser, have always been shrouded in mystery. With only his memories for guidance and these memories buried deep due to years of trauma, Dexter eventually discovered who was responsible for her murder. He took care of this individual on his ‘kill table’. Unfortunately, Dexter never had the chance to interrogate his father about his possible role in the case, as the father had already passed away before Dexter began delving into their past history.

Last month’s confirmation that filming for the 1970s-set series is underway suggests that we may delve deeply into the events leading up to and following Laura Moser’s murder, but this time from the perspective of Harry Morgan. Additionally, a new character from the Dexter: Original Sin series, Bobby Watt, may also be involved in these events. Christian Slater has hinted that the show could uncover previously unknown details about the past during a recent Collider interview.

Additionally, there are events involving Harry’s character that Dexter is unaware of, which is what I find particularly intriguing. These revelations, in my opinion, provide a deeper understanding of who this character truly is.

This is a very interesting point, and if Slater is referring to Laura Moser’s death, the audience will be put into a position of knowing more than Dexter. Who really was Harry Morgan? The original Dexter series only shows him in flashbacks from Dexter’s point of view, and as Dexter’s ghost. There is a lot more to this character, and it appears his past will be explored, and this could shed some light on how Dexter developed his dark passenger.
