What is the title of Dexter's animated web series that premiered in 2009?

Dexter’s animated web series that premiered in 2009 is titled Dexter: Early Cuts. Showtime released it as a prequel-style web series expanding Dexter Morgan’s earlier years as a killer.

The first season premiered on October 25, 2009. Its stories focus on three victims Dexter mentions in the first season’s episode “Return to Sender,” with each victim’s storyline divided into four short chapters. The format made the series distinct from the hour-long television episodes: installments generally lasted about two minutes.

Dexter: Early Cuts used a 2.5D animation style, bringing illustrated artwork into three-dimensional space. Dexter actor Michael C. Hall reprised his role by providing Dexter’s voice. Lauren Gussis, a producer and writer from the television series, wrote the first season.

The title is sometimes confused with the subtitle “Dark Echo,” but that belongs to the second season of the web series, which premiered in 2010. A third season, “All in the Family,” followed in 2012. These webisodes are official Dexter continuity-related material, not an alternate title for the main television show.
