Dexter is an American crime television series that initially aired on Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013. Set in Miami, it centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers inadequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. Orphaned at age three after witnessing his mother's brutal murder, Dexter was adopted by Miami police officer Harry Morgan. Recognizing the boy's trauma and sociopathic tendencies, Harry trained him to channel his bloodlust into vigilantism, killing only criminals who slip through the system. The first season was derived from Jeff Lindsay's 2004 novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, adapted for television by James Manos Jr., who wrote the pilot episode. Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Erik King, Lauren Vélez and David Zayas also starred. Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow won Golden Globes for their roles as Dexter Morgan and Arthur Mitchell. The franchise continued with the sequel series Dexter: New Blood (2021–2022) and Dexter: Resurrection (from 2025), with Hall reprising the title role, and the prequel Dexter: Original Sin (2024–2025).
