it’s possible for you to’t be killed off.
MOLLY BROWN: Well, one of us can.
[Laughs]

But he’ll still be there, just not in the live world.
In a similar fashion as I have done before.
Look, I’m used to that.
I can do it.
BROWN: It’s really nice knowing that I won’t die.
I will never die.

SLATER: Thats right.
Some keep coming back.
No one everreallydies in TV.
Follows a young Dexter Morgan on his transition into an avenging serial killer.
GIBSON: Sort of.
SLATER: Only Chef fromSouth Park.
Thats the only death I saw that was pretty much guaranteed.
BROWN: That was permanent.
They said, Were done.
SLATER: Hes not coming back.
The prequel series arrives on Paramount+ with Showtime on December 13.
Not even just the day before.
[Laughs] I mean, it was absolutely insane.
It’s a show that I’ve loved for so long, and its just nuts.
GIBSON: We hadn’t even finished filming.
We were still shooting.
BROWN: We barely filmed a beat.
SLATER: But there was already so much excitement and enthusiasm.
That’s Michael C. Hall and Clyde Phillips.
I think that alleviated some of the pressure.
Obviously,stepping into your first lead role into something so beloved is a pretty daunting task.
BROWN: Stepping into your first lead role when you’re playing characters that have been established.
It was so funny, I wasn’t stressed about it until the day I got to set.
Suddenly, I was like, Oh, Jesus Christ, that’s what we’re doing.
So far, from what I’ve seen, it’s almost like a villain of the week.
Is that pretty much Season 1?
GIBSON: I think we get both, right?
So, it does have the throughline going through it.
SLATER: Theres somebody out there who needs to be stopped.
GIBSON: He is a bad motherfucker.
What do you think fans will say after they’ve seen the finale?
[Laughs]
GIBSON: No way.
SLATER: Oh my god, I did not see that coming.
GIBSON: I remember reading that in Miami and literally being like, No fucking way.
It’s satisfying, I think.
SLATER: The whole season, I think.
The thing about a show like this is, it’s going to get a second season.
I’m very confident that you will be making more.
BROWN: You know what I would say?
You’re going to see so many little things that you didn’t know that you wanted to know.
SLATER: The code.
Youre going to see so many things.
SLATER: Things that happened to Harry in the past.
GIBSON: I think they’ve done a really good job.
SLATER: So much has been established in the original show.
To go back and still make that all tie in…
GIBSON: Its crazy patchwork.
BROWN: Jennifer Carpenter’s 5'9".
I have to grow six inches.
Its such a feat.
[Laughs] Ive already started the process.
SLATER: The stretching and the surgery.
The series premiere ofDexter: Original Sinhits Paramount+ on December 13.
