Summary Michael C. Hall's Dexter Morgan in the series Dexter was inspired by a real-life murderer. The acclaimed Showtime series follows a charismatic serial killer who works as a blood splatter analyst for Miami Metro Police. The intriguing premise was first featured in a novel titled Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, published in 2004. Two years later, Showtime made the narrative into a 12-episode season in 2006.
Dexter Morgan Was Inspired By Pedro Rodrigues Filho A Brazillian Serial Killer Who Targeted Criminals Inspired The Show Pedro Rodrigues Filho is the real-life vigilante killer who acted as the inspiration behind the fictional character Dexter Morgan. Pedro was born in Brazil and lived there his entire life.
Unlike the events of the show, the "real" Dexter Morgan was eventually apprehended and spent several decades behind bars. Pedro was arrested on 71 counts of murder and served 30 years in prison between 1973 and 2003 . Pedro later served another prison sentence from 2011 to 2018 on charges of riot and deprivation of liberty, for which he was released on good behavior.
How Dexter Is Different From Pedro Rodrigues Filho The Show Is Only Loosely Based On The Crimes Of Pedro Rodrigues While Dexter Morgan was loosely based on Pedro Rogrigues Filho, the plot of Dexter is far from a direct adaptation of the Brazillian serial killers crimes, and there are many differences between the pair.
Pedro also never worked for the police department like Dexter, and had no expertise as a blood splatter analyst. Those were details added to Dexter Morgan's character to make him more compelling. Dexter, of course, is also not from Brazil as Pedro was, having been born and raised in Florida.
