\u201cDexter: Original Sin\u201d creator Clyde Phillips was blindsided when Paramount+ walked back its decision to renew<\/a> the prequel series for season 2. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was a tough phone call that I got that night. They had already picked up the show, and I\u2019d informed all the writers and informed all the actors, and then they un-picked it up,\u201d Phillips said during a recent appearance on the \u201cDissecting Dexter\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t handled well, and I\u2019m not happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Phillips, who served as showrunner on seasons 1-4 of the original \u201cDexter\u201d series, also developed Paramount+\u2019s \u201cDexter\u201d reboot, \u201cDexter: Resurrection.\u201d According to a Variety report<\/a>, there are already plans to open a writer\u2019s room for season 2 of \u201cResurrection,\u201d but Phillips is mourning what could\u2019ve been a larger \u201cDexter\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n On the \u201cDissecting Dexter\u201d podcast, Phillips claimed that former Paramount co-CEO Chris McCarthy \u201cwanted the \u2018Dexter\u2019-verse to expand.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe wanted me to be his new Taylor Sheridan,\u201d he said, referring to the creator of \u201cYellowstone\u201d and its various spinoffs<\/a>. \u201cWe plotted out a couple of years of this, looking forward to introducing new characters.\u201d <\/p>\n According to Phillips, there were spinoffs in the works for younger versions of \u201cDexter\u201d characters including James Doakes (Erik King), Captain Matthews (Geoff Pierson), and the infamous \u201cDexter\u201d villain Trinity (John Lithgow). <\/p>\n Plans for the \u201cDexter\u201d-verse stalled when Paramount merged with Skydance Media<\/a>, Phillips said. That includes the Trinity prequel, which Phillips said is \u201con the back burner\u201d for now.<\/p>\n \u201cI honestly don\u2019t think [Paramount+ is] going to go for it. I just think think they\u2019re interested in \u2018Resurrection,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIf they cancel \u2018Original Sin,\u2019 which is a built-in hit, how are they going to pick up \u2018Trinity?\u2019 If they do, I\u2019d be delighted, but I don\u2019t see them doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n NJ.com has reached out to Paramount+ for comment.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/b>Paramount+ actor died due to Vegas restaurant\u2019s negligence, lawsuit claims<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Fans were dismayed by the sudden cancelation of \u201cDexter: Original Sin.\u201d An online petition demanding its return<\/a> has over 100,000 signatures as of this writing.
