Paramount+ is walking back a spinoff\u2019s season 2 renewal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDexter: Original Sin\u201d has been canceled, Variety<\/a> reported on Friday, August 22. The crime drama was renewed for season 2 in April, but Variety reports that no production dates were ever scheduled for the new installment. NJ.com has reached out to Paramount+ for comment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that the cancelation is Paramount+\u2019s attempts to focus on another \u201cDexter\u201d series. Variety reported that there are already plans to open a writer\u2019s room for season 2 of \u201cDexter: Resurrection,\u201d which premiered in July.<\/p>\n

The OG \u201cDexter\u201d aired on Showtime from 2006 to 2013. The Emmy-winning series starred Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician\/vigilante serial killer whose only victims are other murderers.<\/p>\n

The now-canceled \u201cDexter: Original Sin,\u201d which premiered on Paramount+ in December 2024, is a prequel that takes place in 1991, when the titular antihero is 20 years old. Patrick Gibson starred as Dexter, Molly Brown played his younger sister, Debra, and Christian Slater portrayed Dexter\u2019s adoptive father, Harry Morgan.<\/p>\n

In \u201cDexter: Resurrection,\u201d Hall reprises his role as Morgan for the first time since the 2021 reboot \u201cDexter: New Blood.\u201d The first revival ended with Dexter\u2019s son Harrison (Jack Alcott) fatally shooting him, but the new series reveals that Dexter survived after all.<\/p>\n

During a July interview with the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, Hall said that he thinks \u201cDexter: Resurrection\u201d is just getting started.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I can say is I don\u2019t think we embark on this season imagining it as a one-off,\u201d he teased. \u201cWithout giving away too much, I think the door will be open at the end of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDexter: Resurrection\u201d also stars Uma Thurman (Charley), David Zayas (Angel Batista), Kadia Saraf as (Detective Claudette Wallace), Emilia Su\u00e1rez (Elsa Rivera), and Peter Dinklage (Leon Prater).<\/p>\n

Season 1 of \u201cDexter: Resurrection\u201d is <\/b><\/i>currently airing on Paramount+<\/b><\/i><\/a>. New episodes premiere every Friday.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
