Miami Metro PD will have a very familiar geek-icon face when prequel ‘Dexter: Original Sin‘ airs on Paramount+ as Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, joins the cast as Dexter’s boss!
Set in 1991 Miami, ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. 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 (Christian 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.
Gellar takes a special guest star role as Tanya Martin, the CSI Chief at the Miami Metro Police Department and Dexter Morgan’s new boss.
