Dexter: New Blood Should Investigate Other Killers Following the Code

Essential Insights on *Dexter: Original Sin*

• The series may showcase other serial killers adhering to a moral code, possibly extending beyond Dexter himself.
• The character of Evelyn Vogel, once pivotal in shaping Dexter’s code, could be sidelined in response to mixed fan reception.
• With no casting announcements for a young Evelyn Vogel, her presence seems unlikely in the inaugural season of the prequel.

*Dexter: Original Sin* is gearing up for its premiere, generating significant buzz among fans following the recent release of the full trailer. Patrick Gibson stars as a budding serial killer with a stringent moral code, suggesting that he might not be the only one navigating this dark realm in the prequel’s 1990s setting.

When Evelyn Vogel was introduced in the final season of the original *Dexter* series, opinions were polarized. Fans learned that she collaborated with Harry Morgan to refine the infamous code that dictated Dexter’s actions. This raises intriguing questions about whether *Original Sin* will delve into her alleged connections with other killers who share similar ethical frameworks.

Could There Be More Code-Bearing Killers in the Prequel?

By the time Evelyn Vogel appeared in *Dexter*, the titular character’s dark instincts had been well-established. Initially, Dexter believed that his father, Harry Morgan, originated the moral code, but Evelyn’s revelations indicated she had a hand in molding that philosophy, teaching Harry how to shape it for Dexter. This information poses a compelling consideration: where are the other killers she supposedly guided, and will they surface in *Dexter: Original Sin*? While young Dexter Morgan will face various antagonists in Miami, he may also encounter others who share similar principles.

However, it’s essential to note that Dexter has always operated as a lone wolf, executing his rituals in solitude. Although prior seasons introduced him to partners like Miguel Prado and Lumen Pierce, the presence of other killers with a code might manifest subtly, through Easter eggs or subtle nods in the storyline. Exploring the concept of additional serial killers who adhere to a moral code could add another intriguing dimension to the narrative.

Will *Original Sin* Sidestep Evelyn Vogel’s Controversial Backstory?

The mixed reception of Evelyn Vogel poses a challenge for *Dexter: Original Sin* in potentially incorporating her backstory. Many viewers felt her role diluted Harry Morgan’s significance in shaping Dexter, a fundamental aspect of the character’s identity. Consequently, the prequel series might opt to omit her storyline entirely, complicating the introduction of other killers adhering to Dexter’s moral code. While a complete retcon of her character could disrupt continuity, her mention within the 90s timeline could be limited.

So far, *Dexter: Original Sin* has revealed its cast, but notably absent is any reference to a younger Evelyn Vogel as part of the storyline. This absence suggests that the concept of other code-following killers is unlikely to play a significant role in the show’s first season. However, should the series be renewed for additional seasons, there remains the potential for Vogel and her cadre of would-be-code followers to emerge in future plots.
