LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dexter: Original Sin', the prequel series of our favorite serial killer, has finally dropped its first teaser trailer on Thursday, September 12 along with a release date on YouTube. The show stars Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter Morgan, with Michael C Hall returning to voice his inner thoughts.

The latest teaser is giving us chills as Hall's voice sets the tone, saying, "I am a killer. But I wasn't born this way, I was made. By my history, by the people around me. They say it takes a village to raise a killer." It's a gripping start to the series, which will explore how Dexter became the serial killer we know and love.
