So excited for Michael C Hall voicing the Dark Passenger 🥹🥹🥹

[@mrchiefbs]

It's not the dark passenger. It's dexters inner monologue which is everything within him not just the urge.

[@Henry_Avery13]

​@@mrchiefbsidk why they are doing that tbh. Just use the new guy

[@dibsdibs3495]

@@Henry_Avery13 sort of like HIMYM

[@JayBandersnatch]

Dexter's inner monologue is only his inner monologue, NOT his Dark Passenger. In the Book series by Jeff Lindsay, written before the show came out, it is revealed later in "Dexter in the Dark" that the Dark Passenger is the Demon "Moloch". Thus Michael C. Hall is voicing Dexter's inner monologue, he's not voicing Moloch, who is the Dark Passenger.

[@CyrilBolt-kd8hs]

His narrating the show it's like a flashback like him telling his story

@@LagoonHood Well Patrick Gibson (young Dexter) had taken parts in many different movies and tv series like The Tudors ,Cherry tree, the OA (which slayed in the part of Steve Winchell) ,in a relationship (that's a movie that starred next to Emma Roberts) ,his most recent movie was" the portable door"( a mix of Harry potter and the Office concept) ,Shadow and bone as Nicolai Lantsov and now as the young Dexter. Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in various projects like "I know what you did last summer" ,"Cruel intentions', "Scooby Doo"as Daphne, her breakthrough was when she played "Buffy the vampire slayer" ,and her most recent project was in wolf pack. Now as about Christian Slater, we are talking about an 80s hearthrob that slayed also in the 90s .

[@anthonybova5889]

I know everyone will disagree with me because I know a lot of people didn't like the way the original Dexter ended, but I actually loved it and was ok with it but I felt that new blood was forced at some especially at the end with the writing, and was mainly written because a lot of people who didn't like the way the original Dexter ended weren't satisfied which is crazy because if you think like that you're never going to please everyone there will always be someone or some people that don't like something for whatever reason but anyways we'll see on this new show I feel like a lot more stuff is going to be forcefully written I'm still a fan of the show so don't attack me fanboys😂

I didn't watch the last half of New Blood or Dexter Season 8. Once I got the hint that they were going to have Harrison kill Dexter, I carefully looked to see if that was the case, and when I found out that it was, I stopped watching. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I was very tentative going into New Blood. As for season 8, once they kidnapped Laguerta, that was it for me. I didn't even bother with season 8.

By looking at the actors and the concept of the show being a prequel to the series I can guess who they are playing, but it wouldn't have hurt to put the cnames of the character that the actor is playing on the screen text for each of them.

[@Democracydoll]

Christian is playing Harry Morgan, Dexter's dad. The young lady next to him will be playing Debra, Dexter's sister. Sarah Michelle Geller is playing Dexter's boss. He's just an intern when the show starts in 1991. The man on the far right will be playing Dexter.
