Key Takeaways
- Dexter: Original Sin might feature other killers who live by the famous code, potentially beyond just Dexter himself.
- Evelyn Vogel’s backstory as the mastermind behind Dexter’s code may be ignored in Original Sin due to negative fan response.
- There is no mention of young Evelyn Vogel in the casting announcements, suggesting she may not be involved in the debut season of the prequel series.
Dexter: Original Sin is edging closer to its release date, and fans are eager to find out more about the plot, especially after the recent full trailer dropped this week. Patrick Gibson is playing the young and-murder hungry serial killer with a code in the prequel series, and there’s always the possibility that he isn’t the only killer with principals in the 90s set timeline.
Evelyn Vogel was a polarizing character when she made her first appearance in the final season of the original Dexter series. It was discovered that she helped Harry Morgan perfect the code which Dexter would live by. She also revealed that she’d helped other killers do the same, so maybe Original Sin will explore this possibility at some point.

Dexter’s dark passenger had been well perfected by the time Evelyn Vogel turned up in the final season of Dexter. The serial killer always believed that his father, Harry Morgan, was the one who came up with the killer code, but it was revealed that Vogel was the one who helped him come up with the unique way to teach his son. She also claimed she’d helped others do the same, so this poses a very important question. Where are these so-called other killers, and could they feature in Dexter: Original Sin? There will be plenty of bad killers for young Dexter Morgan to defeat in the iconic Miami location, but he might also meet some like-minded individuals along the way. However, there is one major caveat to this: Dexter must not find out about Evelyn Vogel’s involvement in forming these potential killers, as his first known interaction with her was much later on.
It’s also not possible for Dexter to go into partnership with any of these killers, as he was always a lone wolf who carried out his rituals without any assistance. Of course, this changed as the original Dexter series progressed, as he killed alongside various partners, including Miguel Prado and his love interest, Lumen Pierce. The potential appearances of other code-abiding serial killer citizens could be in the form of little nods and Easter eggs littered throughout the prequel series. There is every chance Dexter isn’t the only killer who doesn’t kill good people, so it would be an interesting angle to explore.
Evelyn Vogel Was A Divisive Character, So Original Sin Might Choose To Move Away From Her Backstory
A potential stumbling block to the inclusion of other killers with codes in Dexter: Original Sin is the largely negative response to the character of Evelyn Vogel. A lot of fans weren’t enamored by her place in Dexter lore, as the person who formed the iconic code, as this always felt like an important part of who Harry Morgan was, and it lessened the impact of the characters’ role in making Dexter who he was. Dexter: Original Sin might decide to ignore Vogel’s backstory altogether, and if they choose to do this, it would make it very unlikely that other killers with Dexter’s code of ethics would appear. It would be wise not to recton the character altogether, as this goes against the original series, but there’s a high chance she won’t be referenced heavily in the 90s set timeline during Dexter: Original Sin.
There have been many Dexter: Original Sin casting announcements, but as it stands, there has been no mention of a young Evelyn Vogel featuring in the series, so this potential group of Dexter-esque serial killers probably won’t play a part in the debut season of the show. However, if the show gets renewed, there is every chance Vogel and her posse of wannabe code-following killers will feature.
