The seventh episode featured familiar music by Daniel Licht, along with additional tracks.
Dexter: Original Sin returned after a brief one-week mid-season hiatus with an episode full of surprises, including a major twist for viewers. Set in 1991 Miami, the prequel series has masterfully captured the essence of the early '90s through its attention to detail in props, fashion, and overall vibe.
One standout element of the series is its music. The soundtrack plays a pivotal role in immersing the audience into the nostalgic world of Dexter. Long-time fans will instantly recognize the iconic Dexter feel, thanks to the masterful work of composer Daniel Licht. His tracks, interwoven with hits from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, create the perfect atmosphere for this new chapter of the series.
Episode 7, The Big Bad Body Problem, continued this tradition. While the episode didn’t feature as many songs as earlier installments, it still delivered a mix of iconic tracks and Licht’s hauntingly familiar pieces.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of songs featured in Episode 7. Please note that some of Daniel Licht’s tracks are unreleased or unavailable on streaming platforms, so they aren’t included in this list. If you notice a missing track, feel free to ask us in the comments!
