Dexter: Original Sinis set in 1991, so the only explanation for a doctor from Iron Lake appearing is if the prequel has crossover links to the sequel series,Dexter: Resurrection.Dexter Dailyrevealed the casting of Dante Myles as the medical professional from the sleepy town in upstate New York, where Dexter Morgan lived under the assumed identity of Jim Lindsay inDexter: New Blood. This is a potentially revealing and exciting prospect forDexter: Original Sin, as it suggests fans might get an answer as tohow Dexter survived his life-threatening injuries, ahead of the sequel series airing in Summer 2025.
There is a chanceDexter: Original Sincould be following theBetter Call Saulmodel, and featuring flash forward sequences that reveal tidbits of what lies ahead in the narrative.It’s an intriguing prospect, and as much as nothing has been officially confirmed, this casting does feel like a significant hint that the two timelines will collide. It might also help fans engage with theprequel series, if it links toDexter: Resurrection, which is arguably the more anticipated show in the Dexter-verse, due to Michael C. Hall’s actual physical return.

There were a lot of questions raised by Michael C. Hall’s confirmation that he would be narratingDexter: Original Sin, with fans wondering exactlywhat angle his voiceover might take. He revealed the news at San Diego Comic Con 2024, while also shocking the audience with the announcement that he would return in a sequel series, despite appearing to die at the end ofDexter: New Blood. The casting of the ‘Iron Lake Doctor’ also hints at what direction Michael C. Hall’s Dexter narration might take.It looks like his dulcit tones could take the form of present day Dexter re-telling his own origin story, which sounds like a really good idea, if executed well.
Present day Dexter could also make a brief appearance inDexter: Original Sin, if the Iron Lake doctor is the one who is trying to save his life. It’s all speculation at this point, but fans will know more whenDexter: Original Sinactually airs in December.It makes sense for both shows to connect to each other, and it’ll increase viewership moving forward, if fans know they have to tune into both shows to get the full story of what is going on in both timelines.
Who Is Dante Myles? (aka Iron Lake Doctor)
Dante Myles is an up-and-coming character actor who has landed a string of guest roles in television and movies, butDexter: Original Sinis by far his biggest show yet.OnIMDB.com, it states that Myles will appear in one episode of the prequel series, so this could suggest any potential flash forward is a one-off, possibly in the pilot, but this hasn’t been confirmed. It’s too early to tell if he’ll also appear inDexter: Resurrectionas well, but it’s definitely likely.
