How Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Kids Got to Be a Part of Her Dexter Role

As I delve deeper into the heartwarming journey of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., it becomes increasingly evident that their love story is one for the ages. Their bond, which spans over two decades now, is a testament to the power of true love and friendship.

Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s work schedule was to die for.

She revealed that she managed to balance her time between her family, particularly her children Charlotte (age 15) and Rocky (age 12), and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., while taking on the role in the upcoming show “Dexter: Original Sin”.

As I shared with TopMob News during the New York debut of the Showtime prequel, one of the joys of being on the show was the comfort of filming at home in Los Angeles. From morning meals to evening dinners, my family and I had the unique opportunity to be a part of the production process.

She pointed out that not much is filmed in Los Angeles these days. To have a chance to star in something locally, it truly changes everything.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the character portrayed by the 47-year-old actress, who serves as Dexter’s boss and head of forensics at the Miami Metro Police Department (Tanya Martin), has long harbored a desire to be part of the original series, which concluded in 2013 after eight seasons.

She expressed her enthusiasm, ‘I was a big fan, always enamored with the show I considered exceptional. I recall feeling disappointed when I never had a chance to appear on it. Opportunities like that seem long gone, but then, out of nowhere, I receive a call saying it’s coming back, and my chance hasn’t slipped away yet. It’s incredibly thrilling!’

Since Sarah’s character wasn’t present in the initial Dexter, she was given an opportunity to develop her own unique persona for Tanya in the latest series, which revolves around Patrick Gibson refining his killing abilities under the guidance of his father Harry Morgan, portrayed by Christian Slater, as he works as an intern at the Metro PD.

She elaborated, “I often discussed the experience of being a woman in a predominantly male profession during the ’90s. One might wonder about the resilience and camaraderie she mustered among her colleagues to navigate that environment.

Contrary to the seriousness portrayed in the series, Sarah shared that the atmosphere on set was surprisingly light-hearted due to the presence of actors like Patrick Dempsey, Christina Milian, and returning star Michael C. Hall who voices Dexter’s inner monologue. Interestingly, she found it challenging to maintain a serious demeanor with everyone around, as she candidly admitted, “It was quite challenging for me!

Without a doubt, Sarah made sure not to carry any negative vibes or dark energy home with her. It was reassuring given that she always values and cherishes her time with her loved ones.

She shared with TopMob News in February that dinners hold significant value for her. “Our family and friendships revolve around food, we truly enjoy preparing meals together.

She added, “We enjoy playing board games quite a bit. Due to an overdose of puzzles during the pandemic, I needed some respite, thus I temporarily stepped away from puzzles. However, we have been busy with various board games and card games instead.

As Sarah noted of their activities as a family, “It’s a moment of connection.”

The crime series “Dexter: Original Sin” will be available for streaming and on-demand viewing on Paramount+ starting Friday, December 13, for those with a Showtime plan subscription. In the United States, it will make its television debut on Sunday, December 15.

Now, read on for more of Sarah and Freddie’s sweet family moments.

In this old vacation photo, the actors from “I Know What You Did Last Summer” appear as young and fresh-faced, taken years before they started their family together.
