Who's returning and who's not in the upcoming Dexter prequel Dexter: Origins.
It's been exactly 14 months since Showtime revealed that they're working on a prequel about the early years of Dexter Morgan, and today we have a report from website That Hashtag Show that reveals the returning and new characters for the Dexter: Origins prequel. Since the news comes from a not so credible source, we suggest you to be cautious about it. Let's dive in!

1. Let's start with the most obvious one, Dexter Morgan.

9. Laura Moser
