'Dexter' is turning back the clock to the '90s for the prequel series, and Sarah Michelle Gellar and Patrick Dempsey totally transform in these exclusive 'Dexter: Original Sin' first-look photos.
"It's funny — I think it's a different '90s than what I knew because I was like, 'I don't remember this hairstyle,'" Gellar says.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love.

"I have to tell you, it was discovered accidentally," he admits to EW. "I was on holiday and I hadn't shaved in a while. I shaved my beard off because we were getting ready to come home and I kept the mustache going, thinking, 'Maybe I should do this,' because I was looking at a lot of vintage training videos of Miami police in the '70s and they all had mustaches.
Meanwhile Gellar — who freely admits she's a "basic b----" for thinking John Lithgow's Trinity Killer is the best season of the original— says her role is to be the "comic relief" on the prequel. "It's fun to sort of inadvertently be the character that teaches Dexter everything that he needs to know to really be a good serial killer, but all the while not knowing that you're doing it," she explains.
Bringing Aaron and Harry's friendship to life onscreen couldn't have been easier for Dempsey and Slater, who, just like their characters, have known each other for their entires careers after starring together in the 1991 film. "It's funny because Christian and I worked together in the early '90s, so we were laughing and reminiscing about still being survivors in this business after 30 years," Dempsey says.
