After Dexter: Original Sin Was Cancelled Despite Season 2 Renewal, Fans Are Already Trying To Save It: ‘We Need More’
The world of Dexter Morgan returned to the small display screen with two new reveals, each of which launched new episodes as a part of the 2025 TV schedule. The primary season of Dexter: Resurrection with Michael C. Corridor nonetheless has a pair episodes left within the first season, whereas Dexter: Original Sin completed its ten-episode Season 1 again in February. Fans received the excellent news in April that Original Sin had been renewed for Season 2, however that call has been reversed. The present has been cancelled, however followers aren’t prepared to surrender simply but.
(*2*). The crew is new to Showtime after Skydance acquired Paramount World. Despite the renewal for Season 2 again in April, a writers room reportedly by no means opened and manufacturing dates have been by no means set. Writers from Original Sin moved over to work on Resurrection, and can return for the second season of the collection that introduced Michael C. Corridor again within the flesh. (The OG Dexter solely narrated for Original Sin.)
The show included younger versions of characters from the original series beyond just Dexter and Harry, with some spot-on impersonations of the cast. The Season 1 finale ended on a note that raised the possibility of somebody learning the big secret; now, unless Dexter: Resurrection somehow addresses that chapter in the character’s past, fans of Original Sin may never know. That is, unless they get their wish and the series is rescued!
Fans Are Furious
It didn’t take long for fans to hit social media to express their dismay (to put it lightly) about the cancellation, with no fewer than three change.org petitions already available just hours after the unfortunate news broke. While the “Save Dexter Original Sin“ and “Save ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ from cancellation“ petitions solely gathered 33 and 36 signatures, respectively, on the time of writing on Augst 23, “Save Dexter: Original Sin“ has reached 523, and the quantity is rising.
Plus, there are many sad followers on X (previously referred to as Twitter) utilizing two most important hashtags: #SaveDexterOriginalSin and #BringBackDexterOriginalSin. These are only a handful of examples of how persons are feeling. (Feedback edited for content material and readability.)
- @joshlovesfilms: “We would have liked extra. The writers deliberate for us to see Dexter in his house, within the inexperienced Henley… we nonetheless had 15 years of tales left. Fans need extra. We want extra.”

There isn’t any phrase simply but about whether or not there are any plans to buy Dexter: Original Sin round to a different platform to select it up, and I personally doubt that may occur. The franchise is constant on Paramount+ with Showtime, as Dexter: Resurrection is predicted to get a second season. The crime drama had the makings of a significant hit from the beginning, with the primary episode accumulating 2.1 million world viewers throughout Paramount+ and Showtime over three days, based on Paramount World (through Deadline). Paramount World reported that it was the most-streamed premiere ever in Showtime historical past.
Season 1 additionally completed one thing that is not too widespread for tv: the finale viewers was bigger than the premiere viewers. It reality, with was 27% bigger, based on Deadline, with a viewership tally of 2.68 million over three days. Dexter: Resurrection did nicely with viewers and there have been a few years of Dexter’s life that would have nonetheless been explored with out overlapping into the timeline of the unique collection. The longer term actually appeared vibrant for Dexter: Original Sin. Sadly, except followers are very profitable with their petitions and/or trigger waves on social media through hashtags, this chapter of Dexter’s life appears to be closed for good.
The cancellation information got here on the identical day {that a} new episode of Dexter: Resurrection launched on Paramount, with two extra episodes left earlier than the Season 1 finale. To revisit previous episodes, you will discover them streaming with a subscription to Paramount+ with Showtime now.
