If you weren’t aware, Dexter Morgan, our favourite serial killer is on his way back for more thrills and kills, with most likely a brand new nemesis to face/off against, in a prequel series set in the early 90s.

Shadow and Bone’s Patrick Gibson will take over from Michael C Hall as the young Dexter and with a cast that already includes Christian Slater as the dad Harry Morgan, Molly Brown playing Dexter’s younger sister, Debra Morgan, Christina Milian as the homicide detective LaGuerta,  James Martinez will play Batista, a young detective with Alex Shimizu of The Blacklist playing Vince Masuka, a forensic analyst.

Those characters names will be well known to fans of the much loved series and added to the list over recent weeks has been Patrick Dempsey of Grey’s Anatomy fame who will play Aaron Spencer, the Captain of Miami Metro Homicide and then of course Buffy herself Sarah Michelle Gellar playing a CSI Chief.

Now added to the list is the one and only Joe Pantoliano who will play a character called Mad Dog – yes that is new name, not known to the franchise.

Filming of this much anticipated show is currently underway and with each news of the casting makes this return to Miami a mouth-watering prospect.

More as we get it!
