Summary
The upcomingDexterprequel seriesDexter: Original Sinhas revealed new details about Sarah Michelle Geller’s new franchise character. As one of the biggestfilm and television shows reveals at SDCC 2024, of which Screen Rant was in attendance,Sarah Michelle Gellar will play the CSI Chiefat the Miami Metro Police Department. This means thatshe will essentially have Dexter’s job before Dexter ends up having it in the original series, which creates a big mystery about what happens to her character in the upcoming prequel.
Gellar was the moderator at theDexter: Original Sinpanel atSDCC 2024, which also revealed in a previously unreleased opening credits sequence that Michael C. Hall will be returning through voiceover as the voice of Dexter’s inner Dark Passenger. Dexter will be played by Patrick Gibson, who is one of several returning characters from the original series who were recast in the sequel, which also includes Dexter’s adoptive sister Debra Morgan, Dexter’s adoptive sister Harry Morgan, and several Miami Metro Police coworkers.
How Did Dexter Go 9 Seasons Without Mentioning Tanya If He Replaced Her At Miami Metro?
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Tanya Martinwould certainly not be the only one of Dexter’s Miami Metro coworkers to be taken out by Dexter, but she may be the chronological first.
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character is nearly sure to have an expiration date, considering that she is not mentioned whatsoever in the original series of the sequel seriesDexter: New Blood. Since she will be playing brand new character in theDexteruniverse, and is being given a special guest credit on the series, it’s likely that her Tanya Martin character may not survive the first season ofDexter: Original Sin.She would certainly not be the only one of Dexter’s Miami Metro coworkers to be taken out by Dexter, but she may be the chronological first.
Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed that she would be playing Tanya at the SDCC 2024 panel, saying that she will have “the job that Dexter takes over in the main series.” When Dexter is initially introduced in season 1 of the original series, the story dives right into his character as the forensic specialist and blood spatter analyst at Miami Metro without digging too deep into who held the job before him. In turn, Tanya Martin may discover Dexter’s sociopathic secrets andcould potentially be the first person Dexter has to kill outside of Harry’s code.

Tanya’s Dexter Absence Hints At A Tragic Twist In Dexter: Original Sin
Tanya could also become a victim of one of Dexter’s earliest serial killer targets, which is another viable option.
Since Tanya is not in the original show and isn’t even mentioned as being around during Harry’s time there, it’s very plausible that she dies in the show. It would continue the theme of Dexter’s coworkers at Miamo Metro who discovered Dexter’s secret and were forced to die, such as Maria LaGuerta and James Doakes, even though, technically in both instances,a loved one of Dexter’s killed them on his behalf out of love and protection. She could also become a victim of one of Dexter’s earliest serial killer targets, which is another viable option. The bottom line, however, looks for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character inDexter: Original Sinto have a short lifespan.
