"Dexter: Original Sin" Renewed for Season 2
"Dexter: Original Sin" has been renewed for a second season at Paramount+ with Showtime.
A Season 2 writers room is set to begin shortly, with production dates to be revealed soon.
From creator, showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, Dexter: Original Sin is the first prequel series in the expanding franchise following serial killer Dexter Morgan.
Michael C. Hall, who portrayed the titular antihero in the mothership series, is the prequel's narrator. Patrick Gibson plays Dexter in his late teens, when he was a baby slayer in training, 15 years before the events of the original Dexter series.
The 10-episode original drama series is set in 1991 Miami and follows Dexter (Gibson), a student refining his killer skills with the help and support of his adoptive father Harry (Christian Slater). In his dad, he finds solace and understanding, especially as his bloodthirsty urges grow and can no longer be ignored.
As his only confidant, Harry teaches Dexter a code that's designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to die — all while avoiding getting caught by law enforcement. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Season 1 also stars Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Alex Shimizu and Reno Wilson, with guest stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Patrick Dempsey.
Dexter: Original Sin premiered on December 13 with 2.1M global viewers across Paramount+ and Showtime in the first three days of availability, according to Deadline's Katie Campione in a December 19 ratings story, noting also that Paramount+ touted the episode as Showtime's most-streamed series in 10 years. By the time of the show's finale on Valentine's Day, the finale audience grew 27% over the December premiere with a tally of 2.68M global viewers on Paramount+ with Showtime, Campione noted on February 20.
It was the most-streamed episode of the season, up 30% from the premiere's streaming audience.
Phillips, who was showrunner on the first four seasons of Dexter, is in production on "Dexter: Resurrection", a continuation of the limited series "Dexter: New Blood," set to premiere this summer.
The Dexter-verse is now one step closer to adding a second prequel spinoff to the franchise, the long-spoken-about Trinity Killer limited series with John Lithgow, who originally played the madman, potentially returning to narrate.
"Dexter: Original Sin" is executive produced by Phillips, who also served as showrunner for the debut season, and produced by Showtime Studios and Counterpart Studios. Executive producers for the first season also included Scott Reynolds, Hall, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns, with the series produced by Robert Lloyd Lewis. Michael Lehmann served as directing executive producer.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Sign New Netflix Deal
Rana Atef The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have signed a new multi-year 'first look' agreement with Netflix, after several media reports indicated that the streaming giant would not renew their contract. Harry and Meghan's first five-year deal with Netflix in 2020 was reportedly worth $100 million after stepping back from senior royal duties. Their Archewell Productions has since produced several projects, including With Love, Meghan, and the documentary Polo. The new deal will cover new film and TV projects, with details undisclosed. Upcoming releases include a second season of With Love, Meghan later this month, a Christmas special in December, and Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, a documentary on Ugandan children orphaned by Aids. Meghan said the couple was 'proud to extend our partnership' and expand their work to include her As Ever lifestyle brand, now in collaboration with Netflix. The renewal follows mixed results for past projects for example, With Love, Meghan failed to break Netflix's top 300 shows this year, while Polo ranked 3,346 out of 7,000 titles. The pair's $20m Spotify podcast deal ended in 2023 after just 12 episodes. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

"Spider-Verse" Spinoff Movie "Spider-Punk" in Works with Daniel Kaluuya
Yara Sameh The Spider-Verse is expanding once again. 'Spider-Punk,' a spinoff of 2023's animated hit 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,' is in early development at Sony Pictures Animation. Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character in the comic book sequel, and Ajon Singh are developing and co-writing the feature. Plot details haven't been sorted out, but the film will center on the punk-rock version of Spider-Man — aka Hobie Brown — whose main weapon is his guitar. Kaluuya's character was introduced — along with many other iterations of the beloved web-slinger — in the multiversal adventure 'Across the Spider-Verse.' He is expected to return in 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' from producers Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal, who will also produce the 'Spider-Punk' project. It's unclear when 'Spider-Punk' will swing to theaters. For now, 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' the third entry in the web-slinging trilogy, won't be hitting the theaters until June 25, 2027. Though little is known about the threequel, the story picks up after the cliffhanger at the end of 'Across the Spider-Verse,' with protagonist Miles Morales (the main Spider-Man in this world) as a fugitive on the run while also trying to save his family from imminent danger. Sony's 'Spider-Verse' films have been critical and commercial winners, with the original 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' grossing $384 million globally — in addition to winning the Oscar for best animated feature — and the sequel amassing an impressive $690 million at the worldwide box office. Kaluuya broke out in 2017 as the Oscar-nominated star of 'Get Out.' The British actor has since appeared on screen in 'Black Panther,' Steve McQueen's crime drama 'Widows,' Jordan Peele's 'Nope' and the Fred Hampton biopic 'Judas and the Black Messiah,' which earned Kaluuya his first Oscar statue. He is also currently developing a live-action 'Barney' movie for A24 and Mattel. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Elle and Dakota Fanning to Star in "The Nightingale" Film Adaptation, Sets 2027 Release Date
Yara Sameh TriStar has set a new February 12, 2027 release date for "The Nightingale," its highly anticipated feature adaptation of Kristin Hannah's global bestselling work of historical fiction. Gestating for some time, the project has regained traction for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic, enlisting "To Leslie" helmer Michael Morris to direct. Dakota and Elle Fanning are still set to star and produce, starring together on film for the first time, having first attached to the project in 2019. Dana Stevens (The Woman King) penned the script, and Elizabeth Cantillon will produce for The Cantillon Company, alongside the Fannings and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures, and Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine. Nicole Brown and Shary Shirazi are overseeing for TriStar Pictures. Sources attributed the February 12, 2027 date to the fact that it's a huge event weekend, with the double holiday of Valentine's Day that Sunday and President's Day on Monday. Sunday, February 14 is also Super Bowl Sunday, which presents an opportunity to counterprogram with a film that already has a substantial built-in fanbase. "The Nightingale" will also be the first big female-skewing title of the year as the schedule currently stands. Selling more than 11 million copies worldwide since its 2015 debut after being translated into 45 languages, "The Nightingale" tells the story of two sisters who dare to embark on separate, dangerous paths during World War II in the fight for survival, love and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. The book hit No. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list and has spent a combined 165 weeks on the list across formats, also dominating NPR's fiction chart for 45 weeks and being named a Reese's Book Club Pick. In March 2025, a special 10th Anniversary Edition got to No. 2 on the NYT hardcover list, and already this year, the book has sold a million copies. "The Nightingale" has had a decently long journey to the screen, beginning with TriStar's move to lock down film rights in 2015, with Ann Peacock coming on to write and Cantillon to produce. (The latter has been with the project ever since.) Writer-director Michelle MacLaren and co-writer John Sayles attached to a later iteration, with the Fannings initially coming on to star in a version helmed by Mélanie Laurent from Stevens' script. Just when it looked like the project would get off the ground, the pandemic resulted in numerous delays, with Laurent stepping back to attend to other projects in the interim. A two-time Emmy nominee known for his directing on series like Better Call Saul, "13 Reasons Why" and "Kingdom", Morris directed Andrea Riseborough to her first Oscar nomination with his feature directorial debut, the indie drama "To Leslie". His follow-up project on the feature side was "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy", which enjoyed acclaim as well as international box office success, surpassing $100M globally while premiering on Peacock only in the U.S. Dakota Fanning will next be seen starring opposite Sarah Snook in Peacock's upcoming series "All Her Fault". Elle Fanning, meanwhile, is next set to appear in dual roles in Dan Trachtenberg's "Predator: Badlands", out November 7, and in a starring role alongside Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard in Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value", the winner of Cannes' "Grand Prix", which is out in limited release via Neon on the same day. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
