DEXTER... The Animated Series?

That headline's no joke. On Sunday, October 25th, Showtime will premiere a series of Dexter animated webisodes taking us back to the early days of the sassy serial killer. Dexter writer and producer Lauren Gussis will write the webisodes. It's all part of a big PR push Showtime is doing for the show, which will involve Dexter Youtube games and all sorts of other stuff.

In this multi-part web series, written by DEXTER producer and writer Lauren Gussis, viewers see the demise of Alex Timmons, a corrupt Gulf War veteran, Gene Marshall, an arsonist, and Cindy Landon, a "black widow." The series will also provide fans with fun and interesting facts about Dexter, including how he bought his boat, the Slice of Life and when he began collecting slides of his victims. Each webisode will be brought to life by a different illustrator. Kyle Baker, an eight-time Eisner Award winner, and one of the genre's biggest names, headlines the roster along with Andres Vera Martinez and Ty Templeton. The stories are driven by voiceover from Dexter (Michael C. Hall), narrating his investigative process as he discovers his victims' guilt, stalks them for reconnaissance and eventually doles out his unique brand of vigilante justice

The trailer for the web series is below.
