When his urges can no longer be ignored, he finds understanding in his father Harry (Christian Slater) who teaches Dexter a Code designed to both avoiding getting caught and help him find and kill people who deserve to die.
At the same time, the young Dexter begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. Also starring as younger versions of existing characters are Molly Brown as Dexter’s sister Debra, James Martinez as Angel Batista, Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta and Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka.
Also onboard are Patrick Dempsey and Sarah Michelle Gellar as the Miami Homicide Department Captain and CSI chief respectively. The series will be followed at a later date by “Dexter: Resurrection” with Hall reprising his role and continuing on from events of ‘New Blood’.
