Sarah Michelle Gellar (Wolf Pack, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has signed on to appear in the upcoming Dexter prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin.
Geller will have a guest starring role and will play a character named Tanya Martin. She is the CSI Chief at the Miami Metro Police Department and Dexter Morgan’s (Patrick Gibson) new boss.
The series is set in 1991 Miami, and it follows Dexter, “a student who is refining his killer skills with the help and support of his adoptive father Harry (Christian Slater).
“In his dad, he finds solace and understanding, especially as his bloodthirsty urges grow and can no longer be ignored.
“As his only confidant, Harry teaches Dexter a code that’s designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to die — all while avoiding getting caught by law enforcement.
“This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.”
Nina L. Diaz, President of Content and Chief Creative Officer, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios & Paramount Media Networks said of the casting: “Sarah Michelle Gellar is a pop culture icon who perfectly rounds out our best-in-class cast featuring Christian Slater and Patrick Dempsey among others.
“We’re thrilled to have her return to the Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios family and join the origin story of the Dexter franchise.”
The cast also includes Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Reno Wilson, Alex Shimizu and Patrick Dempsey.
The series is currently shooting in Miami with Clyde Phillips at the helm.
