Hot off the heels of Dexter: Original Sin's fantastic premiere, it looks like Showtime and Co. are ready to move forward with the previously mentioned untitled Trinity Killer spinoff prequel series.
The Dexter Trinity Killer prequel series, following the makings of the notorious serial killer played by John Lithgow in the mothership series, remains “in development” at Paramount+ with Showtime and has come a long way since it was originally announced in early 2023 as being in the exploration stages, sources close to production tell Deadline.
Original Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips and fellow Dexter veteran Scott Reynolds serve as co-creators and executive producers of the Trinity Killer spinoff prequel, we hear. They held a development room for the project earlier this spring. As scripts were being written, there were erroneous media reports that the project was not moving forward which was never the case, sources said.
And as for the current status of the Trinity Killer series...
“We wrote the entire Trinity Killer series. At the moment, it is on the back burner,” he said in the video, which you can watch below. “John Lithgow has agreed to be the voice of his younger self the way Michael Hall is doing for [Original Sin]. There’s that and we’re doing another show with Michael C. Hall, [Resurrection]… We were writing that while shooting Original Sin, so that’s fairly busy. We begin shooting [Resurrection] in January and it will air in June 2025.”
It looks like the future of Trinity will come down to how Original Sin and Resurrection perform.
