How Dexter: Resurrection Can Revive Original Sin’s Characters for Maximum Impact!

by

Summary

  • Dexter: Resurrection will follow events after New Blood with familiar faces returning.
  • Original Sin characters could appear in Resurrection, adding depth to their stories.
  • Using flashbacks to explore new characters’ 90s timeline in Resurrection can maintain suspense.

The filming process for “Dexter: Resurrection” has begun, with its scheduled debut this coming summer. This 10-episode sequel continues right after the events portrayed in last year’s limited series, “New Blood.” It delves into Dexter Morgan’s life post a chest gunshot wound, and brings back familiar faces such as Angel Batista, Harrison, and Harry Morgan. While it’s uncertain which other legacy characters might be involved, the emergence of a fresh character from the prequel could add an exciting twist given that “Original Sin” is now part of Dexter’s storyline.

In the series Original Sin, we meet characters such as Tanya Martin and Bobby Watt. It’s possible that future episodes might feature these characters again or delve into Dexter’s past through flashbacks. However, this could pose a challenge for the prequel series since it would disclose the characters’ fates. Yet, it would be an effective method to establish strong narrative links between the two shows.

Original Sin’s New Characters Would Be Interesting Inclusions In The Resurrection Timeline

In the revival series, Dexter Morgan survives and is accompanied by several familiar characters. There’s a possibility that Joey Quinn and Vince Masuka could reappear in the upcoming seasons as well, as their presence continues to enrich the narrative. Additionally, newcomers Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage will join the cast. Given the recent success of ‘Original Sin’, it would be intriguing to see some fresh faces from the Dexter universe pop up too. Sarah Michelle Gellar was not given much screen time in ‘Original Sin’, but it’d be delightful to see her and Masuka cross paths at a crime scene in the timeline of ‘Resurrection’.

In another scenario, Sofia, Dexter’s beloved, might reappear in a later plotline to profess her unwavering devotion to her initial love. And let’s not forget Bobby Watt, Harry Morgan’s faithful associate, who could have played a more significant role in the prequel series. As time unfolds and Dexter learns more about his adoptive father, an older version of Bobby Watt might provide valuable insights.

It Would Be A Fun Idea To Include Original Sin’s Characters In The Dexter Sequel, But It Would Lessen The Stakes

In the storyline of Original Sin, we’re already aware of what happens to the younger versions of the legacy characters. This means that the tension or anticipation isn’t as high compared to the original timeline. However, this is a common challenge faced by prequels, which is usually compensated by introducing new characters to maintain suspense since their fates are yet to be revealed. Original Sin follows this pattern, with several fresh faces joining the narrative.

One criticism leveled at the Dexter prequel series was that it didn’t delve deeply enough into the new characters introduced in Original Sin. This gap could potentially be filled by incorporating these characters more extensively in Resurrection, providing a chance to flesh out their stories further.

An effective method for this scenario would be to incorporate flashbacks from the ’90s timeline within Resurrection, which would disclose information about the new characters that are also present in the ’90s timeline. This strategy allows for the withholding of their fates, while ensuring their inclusion in the sequel series. Original Sin employed a flashforward involving Michael C. Hall’s Dexter fighting in a hospital, so it is entirely plausible that Resurrection could utilize flashbacks as well.
