Variety reported that the prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin” has been renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+ with Showtime. The news comes after the show’s first season concluded on Feb. 14.

Set in 1991, the show serves as the origin story of Dexter Morgan, with Patrick Gibson playing the young version of serial killer Dexter, who is portrayed by Michael C. Hall in the original series that first aired on Showtime in 2006. Hall provides the young Dexter’s inner monologue, with Christian Slater portraying Dexter’s father, who offers guidance regarding who Dexter should kill while evading detection by police.

The premiere season also included cast members Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Patrick Dempsey.

The official description of the show states: “When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”
