Summary

  • Dexter: Original Sin renewed for second season at Paramount+ with Showtime
  • Michael C. Hall involved in prequel series, providing inner monologue
  • Show focuses on Dexter’s origin, family life, and younger self, garnering fan interest.

After wrapping up its eight-season run in 2013, many believed that the infamous serial killer Dexter had painted his last blood splatter and would disappear from view. However, to everyone’s surprise, the Dexter franchise has made a comeback and seems to be thriving, as fresh spinoffs are being developed and renowned actors continue to join this intriguing universe.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say that the buzz these days is all about the upcoming revival titled “Dexter: Resurrection“. This time around, we’ll have the privilege of watching Michael C. Hall step back into the shoes of none other than the legendary Dexter Morgan.

In the meantime, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and Peter Dinklage have joined the cast, which has undeniably increased anticipation. On a related note, another spinoff of the popular series “Dexter” has received good news, indicating that there remains just as much enthusiasm for Dexter, the blood splatter analyst, as there was in the late 2000s.

It’s been confirmed that the second season of the prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin” has been greenlit on Paramount+ following its premiere on Showtime. This is fantastic news for fans of the show, as they’ve been eagerly following the portrayal of a younger Dexter, played by Patrick Gibson. The first season wrapped up around Valentine’s Day, and the swift decision to renew the series suggests a promising future for its continuation.

As a dedicated fan, I found myself deeply immersed in the prequel series, not just watching, but actively participating through my role as the voice behind young Dexter’s inner monologue. This connection to the original series was beautifully crafted, serving as a bridge that echoed the essence of Dexter we all knew and loved. Beyond just voicing, I also took on the mantle of executive producer, ensuring this spin-off stayed true to its roots.

The series delves into the origins of our favorite serial killer, Dexter, exploring his transformation under the tutelage of his father, Harry Morgan, who designed the infamous Code that shaped Dexter’s dark path. The show cleverly weaves in subtle nods and references to the original, acting as a helpful guide for us long-time fans, offering intriguing insights into Dexter’s younger life, filling in the blanks of his past.

In the remake titled Dexter: Resurrection, Debra Morgan will not be making a comeback because of her tragic end in the final episode of the initial series. The prequel stands out from the original show due to its focus on family dynamics and their relationship with their father, while still retaining the signature tone of Dexter’s story.

The news suggests that the Dexter franchise still has a lot of vitality left in it, even after the mixed reception of the sequel series Dexter: New Blood. Dexter is a character who consistently captivates audiences due to his intriguing mix of coldness and likability. Upcoming projects include Dexter: Resurrection this year and potential spinoffs, one focusing on the Trinity Killer’s youth, originally portrayed by John Lithgow. The Trinity Killer is a significant adversary for Dexter, and a series centered around him could offer an engaging way to expand the franchise without centering the story solely on Dexter. However, whether or not the Trinity Killer spinoff comes to fruition is yet to be determined. For now, fans can look forward to Dexter: Original Sin, which has been confirmed to continue.
