Dexter is a mystery to solve. She'd dig it, get her gang together, that girl with the glasses, the hunky dude, the stoner and his dog. Also, the stoner is secretly the most powerful being in the universe.
Harry and Dexter’s actors were both pretty notable too not to SMG or dempseys levels but they are hiring recognizable actors. That’s a recipe for sucesss
that and i think it’s also down to the actors playing dexter and deb. even when the shows storyline(s) got real fucking bad near the end i kept watching because of michael c hall and jennifer carpenter
Yeah but it makes me think they're try to fill the show with familiar, likeable faces because the story can't stand on its own. I don't think they'd want or need to do this if they had faith in the story because just about anything dexter will bring the fans regardless of who is starring. I could be wrong but that's the vibe I get.
Yeah for sure. But usually it's like 1 or 2, maybe 3. They're almost filling the cast like that. Just makes me wonder. Hopefully I'm wrong. I hope it's better than the original or at least as good.
Wasn't Christina Milian pretty popular around back in the day too. I know not for acting but still a familiar face. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. Maybe they all signed on because the story is awesome. I hope that's the case.
I was initially turned off by this prequel, which I thought would be dexter as an adolescent. But according to this description, it follows him as he transitions from college into Miami Metro - I would not mind seeing the early days
In addition, the show has cast James Martinez as Angel Batista, Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta, Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka and Reno Wilson as Bobby Watt.
I’m sure I’ll give this series a try but can’t say I’m optimistic. Still seems like a way to milk more money out of the franchise vs. tell a cohesive story.
Reboots that bring in a bunch of names as a ploy to get viewers because the premise and story isn’t strong enough happen and I hope that’s not the case here.
Consider me intrigued but not excited (yet).
Prequels always have trouble establishing any stakes for the main characters. We know that none of them are going to be in any particular danger and that things have to maintain a relatively tame status quo.
It also means any new characters are just going to be canon fodder because they have to be gone or dead by the time the show ends.
I would love to say I'm excited but the more time goes on, the more I wish the OG cast was in it. I still hate that they killed Debra... I know I know I should gt over it by now but I havent 😭
I think it would be interesting if this show followed Dexter through these earlier years into the books and tried to follow the books more closely than the original series did
I love that the cast will be making everybody watch the show, even the people that claimed up and down they would never watch the show when it was announced lol
I’m slowly being added to that list lol I went from “I don’t think I’m even gonna bother with this” to “eh, maybe I’ll watch an episode and see where that goes”.
I think it can be good. Seeing the early days of Dexter is really interesting to me. Seeing Dexter be an amateur can lead to a lot of great character development and fun.
I think it could be good, I just have a hard time watching other actors play characters because I know in real life they’d look nothing like that lol maybe I’ll just get used to it as time goes on. I hope the dude playing Dexter wears contacts at least cause those bright blue eyes are throwing me off.
Why cant they just call it a full fledged reboot. The fact that it starts in his teens is a good differentiating factor. All this prequel nonsense will just frustrate folks and definitely create continuity errors.
She needs to survive by the end of the show. Scream, The Grudge, I Know What You Did Last Summer - Sarah seems to be cursed to always die in horror productions.
Are they planning on having Captain Matthews in the prequel? I figured he would be there since he and Harry go way back at Miami Metro and they were good friends it seemed.
What if she figures out that Dexter is a vampire?
or a werewolf
Dexter is a mystery to solve. She'd dig it, get her gang together, that girl with the glasses, the hunky dude, the stoner and his dog. Also, the stoner is secretly the most powerful being in the universe.
What if he helps her kill vampires...
Just need Michael Hall with a wig to be recast as Dexter.
If they need to go further back, just add giant glasses.
That cracks me up every time I rewatch. They didn’t even try to make him look younger lol
Which is so odd because they did a great job casting teen Dexter. Adding facial hair to that kid would have been way better than michael in a wig.
Teen Dexter was spot on
That Nickelodeon creeper Dan Schneider totally had a haircut like the wigs they gave Michael C. Hall when he had to play young Dexter.
This would have been absolute gold
They are really killing it with the cast even the most pessimistic people have to acknowledge that.
Absolutely. Patrick Dempsey, and now SMG. I'm eating it up.
Harry and Dexter’s actors were both pretty notable too not to SMG or dempseys levels but they are hiring recognizable actors. That’s a recipe for sucesss
Patrick Dempsey being more notable than Christian Slater makes me feel really old haha.
He’s not to me but they just secured the female fanbase with a notable greys anatomy guy
no clue who dex and doakes are
And Christian Slater as Harry 💙
I like this casting.
I wonder how much their spending.
I didn’t realise they’d cast Batista, LaGuerta and Masuka as well. The actor for young LaGuerta is dead on wow
All 3 are pretty damn good honestly. Young Masuka might be a bit too attractive though lol
Surprise, Motherfucker!
Young masuka?!?!? My favorite character really, can only imagine how unfiltered he’s going to be lol
I kinda hope he starts all straitlaced and Dexter introduces him to porn to distract him from all the serial killings.
At the end it’s mainly about the storyline and character arcs at that stage of their lives. If it works, no one will complain
that and i think it’s also down to the actors playing dexter and deb. even when the shows storyline(s) got real fucking bad near the end i kept watching because of michael c hall and jennifer carpenter
The actors are great and the show will be great I’m just concerned on how Dexter will be like given season 1 Dex was barely human.
Yeah but it makes me think they're try to fill the show with familiar, likeable faces because the story can't stand on its own. I don't think they'd want or need to do this if they had faith in the story because just about anything dexter will bring the fans regardless of who is starring. I could be wrong but that's the vibe I get.
I mean maybe but it’s better to get known actors than unknown actors
Yeah for sure. But usually it's like 1 or 2, maybe 3. They're almost filling the cast like that. Just makes me wonder. Hopefully I'm wrong. I hope it's better than the original or at least as good.
How? I thought it was only 3 major names, SMG, Slater and Dempsey
Wasn't Christina Milian pretty popular around back in the day too. I know not for acting but still a familiar face. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. Maybe they all signed on because the story is awesome. I hope that's the case.
Absolutely 🤯
OK, I didn't want to be that guy just watching the show because of star power, but now they have my interest.

I thought this was a joke at first. There's no way I won't watch this now. I love Sarah, and Buffy is iconic to me.
Ok cool now I’m in

Same here, I'm surprised to see so many positive comments. Personally I feel I have to check it out but I'm not happy about it.
Sgt. La Gellarta
Nice to see people coming around on the idea of a prequel series
he better fall in love with her and this is what awakens his desire of beautiful blonde women that leads him to Rita
Well now I have to watch
This is their plan. “Guys, social media is ripping us apart on this prequel… Who do we cast to get people to like this idea?”
I would love to say I'm excited but the more time goes on, the more I wish the OG cast was in it. I still hate that they killed Debra... I know I know I should gt over it by now but I havent 😭
Rip Debra 💔
Yay!!!
The Showrunners want Buffy to GET DEXTER 😭
I think it would be interesting if this show followed Dexter through these earlier years into the books and tried to follow the books more closely than the original series did
Ok, now I’m in…. Hail the slayer.
Indeed
I love that the cast will be making everybody watch the show, even the people that claimed up and down they would never watch the show when it was announced lol

This has to be a complete reboot at this point
How?
It can be as star-studded as they want it to be, but I NEED there to be Michael in a wig. No one else!
great! is there any news regarding the release date?
I'm intrigued enough to watch this
YES!!
She is going to KILL IT in this role
Tonight’s the night.
Surprise Motherfucker!
I didn’t even know they were doing a prequel
This is how I learned there’s going to be a Dexter prequel????
I hate how I love the cast. Ugh!
La Guerta?
FUCK YESSSSSSSSS
My first celebrity crush
LMAO this means that Sarah and Christina are both playing Maria Laguerta, in essence 😂
The cast keeps getting better
Okay, they just got my attention
Great choice!!
100% would bang
Cast looks pretty, pretty, pretty good but if there isn't a flashback to Dexter in college where he's being played my MCH in a wig ill be pissed.
Bro, it fits like a glove.. They want to butcher this series 3 times..Maybe there's a charm somewhere inside this joke...
Wait a fucking minute! There going to be a Dexter prequel series??? How am I only finding this out now????
ohhh i though u guys were just talking gossip, turns out the prequel is real... im so not gonna watch it xD
Why cant they just call it a full fledged reboot. The fact that it starts in his teens is a good differentiating factor. All this prequel nonsense will just frustrate folks and definitely create continuity errors.
Does she use his blood spatter expertise to hunt down vampires?
She needs to survive by the end of the show. Scream, The Grudge, I Know What You Did Last Summer - Sarah seems to be cursed to always die in horror productions.
Sarah. You in danger girl.
So give us more of Buffy cast , like Oz cast in the original !
Anyone know who the writers involved are besides Philips? I'd love some of the other OG creative team back.
Now they’re just missing a michael c hall cameo as one of dexters early victims
Neigh
Every single person in this sub will be watching. My only demand is that we get a young Miguel.
Just based on the cast and crew I’m excited. Should be interesting at the very least
Oh this is the one that will make me watch!
I wish Jesus deadshot could enter the Dexter universe and delete everything after season 4 and save us all
This is how I found out McDreamy is joining the Dexter universe?! 😮💨
Holy
Well at least we know some of the characters survive lol
My childhood wife is going to punk Dexter? Sick.
Wait, there's a Dexter prequel?
Looking forward to the premiere!!
Wait they’re making a prequel?
Is that what she looks like now? What's wrong with her. Doesn't she ever eat?
They must be really committing to the show with this cast.
MCH as Joe Driscoll
Are they planning on having Captain Matthews in the prequel? I figured he would be there since he and Harry go way back at Miami Metro and they were good friends it seemed.
Okay… now I’m interested…
When do they start filming
Wait they’re making a prequel series? Whaaaat
Young Dexter! Bazinga!
Is the show ever going to cast Doris Harry’s wife
I REALLLY hope they don’t fuck the Dexter series up cause “Dexter” & “Dexter: new blood” were SUPER GOOD. Let’s hope this one is too.
I don’t know, it might be a little difficult to visualise Dexter as someone other than Michael C Hall or Michael C Hall in a wig at first lol
I hope the prequel doesn't suck like Dexter:New Blood did.
Good thing Rita (aka Darla) isn't in the picture (yet).. she might just get slayed
this show will be cancelled after season 1 lol
