by

Summary

  • Patrick Gibson keen on reprising role of Dexter in Original Sin Season 2, interested in exploring character’s origins.
  • Original Sin: Highest rated Showtime premiere with 2.1 million global viewers, likely to be renewed for a second season.
  • Gibson hopes to see Dexter hone killing skills, take larger risks, and be more confident in future episodes with more legacy characters.

The first season of the series “Dexter: Original Sin” ended dramatically last week, with the code-abiding serial killer rescuing young Nicky and taking out Aaron Spencer. The show has been a major success for Paramount+ in partnership with Showtime, but there’s no official confirmation about a second season as of now. However, actor Patrick Gibson has expressed enthusiasm about returning to portray Dexter Morgan once more.

The expansion of the Dexter-verse began with Original Sin, and Michael C. Hall is currently filming the sequel series Resurrection before its summer 2025 debut. Given that the first episode broke records as the highest rated premiere in Showtime history with 2.1 million viewers worldwide within the first three days, it’s difficult to imagine Original Sin not being renewed for a second season.

In the premiere season of “Original Sin“, Patrick Gibson convincingly portrayed Dexter Morgan. Many viewers are eager for him to delve deeper into the character’s backstory in upcoming seasons. As for a second season, Paramount+ and Showtime are still considering the audience response before making a decision. However, in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Patrick Gibson expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Dexter if given the opportunity.

As a cinephile who recently experienced an unforgettable cinematic journey, let me express my profound gratitude for the opportunity. The camaraderie, talent, and passion that were palpable throughout this production left me absolutely captivated. If given the chance, I would leap at the prospect of returning to this magical world once more.

Michael C. Hall’s portrayal of Dexter Morgan was hard to match, yet Gibson masterfully captured every subtle detail, giving the character a unique twist. In the beginning stages of his murderous and forensic career, Dexter is just getting started in the world established by Original Sin‘s debut season, promising more intriguing developments ahead in the early chapters of Dexter’s life.

Patrick Gibson Wants To See Dexter Hone His Killing Skills In Future Seasons And Hopes More Legacy Characters Turn Up

Original Sin‘s Dexter isn’t the neat monster he was in the original series, and his mistakes and tough learning curve using Harry’s code make the character just as compelling as ever. Patrick Gibson opened up in the same interview about what he wants to see if Original Sin is given the chance to expand Dexter-lore in future seasons:

This sequence seems reminiscent of an introductory series. There’s a lot of groundwork being laid, and he’s still finding his footing after his initial kill. I’m eager to watch him gradually gain more self-assurance in his tactics and take bolder actions. As the show progresses, the risks become increasingly significant. It’s only natural. Additionally, introducing characters from the original who haven’t been seen yet would be intriguing.

The original series depicted Dexter experimenting with various murder techniques for his victims, but by the finale, he seems more polished and committed to his signature method. To appease fans of the original show and smooth the transition between timelines, the new series aims to resemble the familiar aspects of its predecessor. With a 15-year gap between this spinoff and the initial series, it’s possible for multiple seasons to be produced. This could lead to more appearances of legacy characters, with James Doakes being particularly popular among fans. Previously, Clyde Phillips hinted at Doakes’ return, although Gibson’s comments regarding legacy characters may also imply the potential comeback of Tom Matthews as well.
