Dexter: Original Sin Looks Like It Will Crossover With Resurrection

Dexter: Original Sin will premiere on December 13, 2024, on Paramount+ with Showtime, and fans are excited to discover more about Dexter Morgan's origin story, as he embarks on an internship in the forensic department at Miami Metro Homicide. A sequel series, Dexter: Resurrection, is also heading into production in January 2025, and it looks like it actually might connect to the prequel series.

The revelation that Michael C. Hall would narrate Dexter: Original Sin did have some fans questioning whether a crossover between the shows was in the offing, and the latest casting announcement seems to heavily suggest they will connect in a very significant way. An actor called Dante Myles has joined the prequel series and is credited as 'Iron Lake Doctor'. Iron Lake is the town in upstate New York where Dexter Morgan resided in Dexter: New Blood, so this casting hints that there will be some scenes in Dexter: Original Sin set in the present day.

The Iron Lake Doctor in Dexter: Original Sin Could Reveal How Dexter Survived His Injuries

Dexter: Original Sin is set in 1991, so the only explanation for a doctor from Iron Lake appearing is if the prequel has crossover links to the sequel series, Dexter: Resurrection. Dexter Daily revealed the casting of Dante Myles as the medical professional from the sleepy town in upstate New York, where Dexter Morgan lived under the assumed identity of Jim Lindsay in Dexter: New Blood. This is a potentially revealing and exciting prospect for Dexter: Original Sin, as it suggests fans might get an answer as to how Dexter survived his life-threatening injuries, ahead of the sequel series airing in Summer 2025.

There is a chance Dexter: Original Sin could be following the Better Call Saul model, and featuring flash forward sequences that reveal tidbits of what lies ahead in the narrative. It's an intriguing prospect, and as much as nothing has been officially confirmed, this casting does feel like a significant hint that the two timelines will collide. It might also help fans engage with the prequel series, if it links to Dexter: Resurrection, which is arguably the more anticipated show in the Dexter-verse, due to Michael C. Hall's actual physical return.

Michael C. Hall Could Be Narrating The Prequel Series From The Perspective Of Present Day Events And Have Strong Links To Resurrection

There were a lot of questions raised by Michael C. Hall's confirmation that he would be narrating Dexter: Original Sin, with fans wondering exactly what angle his voiceover might take. He revealed the news at San Diego Comic Con 2024, while also shocking the audience with the announcement that he would return in a sequel series, despite appearing to die at the end of Dexter: New Blood. The casting of the 'Iron Lake Doctor' also hints at what direction Michael C. Hall's Dexter narration might take. It looks like his dulcit tones could take the form of present day Dexter re-telling his own origin story, which sounds like a really good idea, if executed well.

Present day Dexter could also make a brief appearance in Dexter: Original Sin, if the Iron Lake doctor is the one who is trying to save his life. It's all speculation at this point, but fans will know more when Dexter: Original Sin actually airs in December. It makes sense for both shows to connect to each other, and it'll increase viewership moving forward, if fans know they have to tune into both shows to get the full story of what is going on in both timelines.

Who Is Dante Myles? (Aka Iron Lake Doctor)

Dante Myles is an up-and-coming character actor who has landed a string of guest roles in television and movies, but Dexter: Original Sin is by far his biggest show yet. On IMDB.com, it states that Myles will appear in one episode of the prequel series, so this could suggest any potential flash forward is a one-off, possibly in the pilot, but this hasn't been confirmed. It's too early to tell if he'll also appear in Dexter: Resurrection as well, but it's definitely likely.
