Dexter: Original Sin Season 2 – Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
Alright, Dexter fans, let's talk about Dexter: Original Sin Season 2! After that wild first season dropped on Paramount+ with Showtime, folks can't stop buzzing about what's next for young Dexter Morgan. The prequel, set in the gritty Miami of 1991, hooked us with its bloody dive into Dexter's early days as a budding vigilante killer. With Season 2 officially greenlit, here's the lowdown on when it's coming, who's in it, and what kind of twisted plot we're in for. When Is Dexter: Original Sin Season 2 Coming Out?
So, here's the deal: Paramount+ announced Season 2 on April Fool's Day 2025—yep, April 1, but no joke! The first season wrapped up on February 14, 2025, and since the showrunners moved fast last time (filming kicked off in June 2024 and premiered by December), we're crossing our fingers for a quick turnaround. Our bet? We could see new episodes by late 2025 or maybe early 2026, depending on how fast they get cameras rolling. The writers are already brainstorming, which is a good sign things are moving. No exact date yet, but keep your eyes peeled for news from Paramount+ or Showtime. If you're itching to revisit Dexter's first kills, Season 1 is streaming now on Paramount+. Who's in the Cast of Dexter: Original Sin Season 2?
The cast of Dexter: Original Sin is a big reason fans fell in love with the show, and Season 2 looks like it'll bring back the heavy hitters. Here's who we expect to see: Patrick Gibson as Dexter Morgan : Patrick absolutely nailed young Dexter—charming, creepy, and all kinds of complicated. He's pumped to keep playing the role, calling it a 'dream gig' in a recent interview. No way he's sitting this one out.

No way he's sitting this one out. Christian Slater as Harry Morgan : Harry, Dexter's dad and moral guide (well, as moral as you get teaching your kid to kill 'bad guys'), is a fan favorite. Since Harry dies in 1992 in the original Dexter timeline, Season 2 might be his last hurrah, but the showrunner's hinted at sneaky ways to keep Slater around—maybe flashbacks or Dexter's imagination running wild.

She's bound to be back, probably stirring up trouble as she gets closer to Dexter's secrets.

Fans are stoked!

James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, and Reno Wilson: These guys play younger versions of Angel Batista, Maria LaGuerta, Vince Masuka, and Bobby Wyatt from the original series. They're all likely to stick around, bringing that Miami Metro vibe we love. What to Expect from the Plot in Dexter: Original Sin Season 2?
Okay, let's get to the juicy stuff—what's Season 2 actually about? No official plot details yet, but the Season 1 finale left us with plenty to chew on. We saw Dexter, barely 20, make his first kill and start his forensics gig at Miami Metro. The finale dropped a bombshell with Brian Moser—yep, the Ice Truck Killer himself—spying on Dexter from the shadows. Plus, Deb's now on her way to becoming a cop, and Harry's still trying to keep Dexter's 'Dark Passenger' in check.
Here's what we think we're in for:
Dexter Levels Up: Word from showrunner Clyde Phillips is that Dexter's getting bolder. He's not just dipping his toes into killing anymore—he's diving in headfirst. Expect him to take bigger risks, maybe even mess up and leave a trail.
Harry's Last Stand: Since Harry's supposed to kick the bucket in 1992, Season 2 might show his final days. The original series hinted he took his own life after seeing Dexter's dark side, so brace for some heavy father-son moments.
Deb's Cop Life: With Debra training to be a police officer, she's getting dangerously close to Dexter and Harry's secret world. Will she start sniffing around? That could make family dinners super awkward.
Brian Moser Enters the Chat: Brian's cameo at the end of Season 1 was a game-changer. Season 2 might dig into Dexter's messed-up bond with his brother, who's got his own killer instincts brewing.
Harry's Secrets: There's talk about exploring Harry's past, like the heartbreaking loss of his first son, Harry Jr., who drowned as a kid. That could hit hard and explain why Harry's so intense about guiding Dexter.
Angel's Good Days: James Martinez, who plays Angel, wants to show his character's happier side before the divorce we know is coming. A little lightness in this dark show? I'm here for it.
Season 2 will probably stick to 10 episodes and stay in the 1991-1992 timeline to keep things tidy before the original Dexter kicks off in 2006.

‘South Park' Lives: Paramount Inks New Deal With Creators, Library Moving to Paramount+
South Park has been saved. Just hours before the Comedy Central show's season 27 premiere on July 23 (a premiere that had already been pushed back due to the uncertainty of a new deal), Paramount and Park County, the venture creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker run and which produces the show, have reached a new deal. More from The Hollywood Reporter Skydance Tells FCC It Will Create CBS News Ombudsman, Eliminate DEI at Paramount Trump's Side Deal With "New Owners" of Paramount May Hint at FCC Concessions Paramount Execs Tell Staff That Africa Offices and Channels May Close Amid Strategy Review (Exclusive) The agreement means that South Park's new season will debut as scheduled. The deal runs for five years and encompasses 50 new episodes of the show to debut on Comedy Central. In addition, the companies have inked an expansive new streaming partnership (via their joint venture South Park Digital Studios) that will bring South Park's library to Paramount+ in both the United States, where HBO Max has held the rights for years, and globally. New episodes will also stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. the day after they air on Comedy Central under the pact. A source pegged the value of the deal at about $1.5 billion. 'Trey and I and the whole South Park crew are grateful for this extension and this deal. We want to thank [Paramount co-CEO and president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment] Chris McCarthy and [COO] Keyes Hill-Edgar for years of great partnership and are looking forward to continuing to make South Park for the next five years,' said Stone. Added Parker, 'We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honored by the trust placed in us. This is about more than a contract — it's about our commitment to this organization, our teammates, and our fans. We're focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city.' Streaming deals for the show expired on June 23, forcing an extension of a domestic deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to keep it on HBO Max for now. Earlier this month, Paramount+'s international license to stream episodes of the long-running animated series expired, which led to the streamer pulling the series from its global service. Park County has an unusual arrangement with Paramount, with the production company receiving about 50 percent of all streaming revenue, even as Paramount retains ownership of the show. 'Matt and Trey are singular, creative forces whose fearless humor and boundary pushing storytelling have made South Park one of the most beloved and enduring series ever — more popular today than at any point in its history, and one of the most valuable TV franchises in the world,' said McCarthy. 'They are exceptional talents and trusted partners. We're thrilled that Comedy Central and now Paramount+ globally will be the home to South Park for years to come and our thanks to the Skydance team for their vital partnership in making this happen.' The deal also comes after a heated but quiet behind-the-scenes legal dispute between Park County, Paramount Global, and Skydance, which is set to assume control of Paramount in the coming weeks. It was a dispute that had some sources concerned about the show's future. Parker and Stone were seeking an extension of their current first-look deal with the company, which a source pegged at being worth about $150 million per year during its six-year term. That agreement had a couple of years left, but the creators were seeking an early extension that could coincide with a streaming agreement. However, Skydance leadership, including CEO David Ellison and incoming president Jeff Shell, had approval rights on any deals that met a certain threshold, and the Park County deal fit that bill. Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporter learned that Park County believed it had struck a basic framework with Paramount on a new 10-year, $3 billion deal, roughly three times the value of their last agreement. Skydance, however, was reluctant to sign off a deal that long, fearing how the streaming market could change by then. At $1.5 billion, the new deal would be worth about $300 million per year, albeit with the shorter time frame that Skydance had been pushing for. While $1.5 billion is an extraordinarily high number for what amounts to 50 episodes of TV, a source said that the overall deal also functioned as an advance on the streaming revenue, helping to explain the cost. When the talks were most heated, Parker and Stone brought on Bryan Freedman, a prominent lawyer and bulldog negotiator known for aggressive legal maneuvering, underscoring how the dispute had escalated. 'This merger is a shitshow and it's fucking up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow,'' Parker and Stone wrote in a social media post on July 2, after Comedy Central announced that the season 27 premiere had been pushed by a few weeks. In a precursor to the legal dispute, Park County threatened legal action against Shell for allegedly urging Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery to modify certain terms of their offers for the show in a 'manner calculated to benefit Paramount at the expense' of the company. It pointed to Shell urging WBD to give Paramount+ an exclusive 12-month window for new episodes of the show and to shorten the term of the deal from 10 to five years, which could worsen the studio's bid for the series.

Joe Rogan Responds to South Park's Mocking of Trump: 'Hilarious'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Podcaster Joe Rogan responded to the Season 27 premiere of South Park, which mocked President Donald Trump, during a recent episode of his podcast, describing it as "hilarious" and saying it is "the greatest show of all time." Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Rogan via email for comment outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters Rogan endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election, interviewing him on his podcast and later attending his inauguration. Left, Joe Rogan attends Donald Trump's inauguration Washington, D.C., on January 20, 2025. Right, guests attend Paramount+'s South Park in San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2025.

Right, guests attend Paramount+'s South Park in San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2025. Saul Loeb - Pool/Getty Images/for Paramount+ Rogan has recently joined a cacophony of angry voices who have spoken out against Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department's handling of its findings from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's fan base has been in revolt since the DOJ released a two-page memo earlier this month, which said they had found "no incriminating 'client list'" after an "exhaustive review" of government documents related to the case. What To Know During Friday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by Mike Baker, and they discussed the Trump administration's handling of documents relating to Epstein. While they were discussing the "chaos" of current politics, Rogan brought up the South Park episode. The episode titled "Sermon on the Mount" depicts Trump in bed with Satan, complaining about the size of his penis, and arguing with the Canadian prime minister. The episode also referenced the "Epstein list," the alleged list of clients involved in convicted sex offender Epstein's sex trafficking operation. "There's so much chaos, there's so much madness," Rogan said, before asking Baker if he had seen the South Park episode. "They did a Donald Trump on with Satan." "It's f****** hilarious," he said. "They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time," Rogan said. South Park's creators took the stage at Comic-Con in California shortly after the episode—and the ensuing slew of headlines about it—aired. The two were asked by panel moderator Josh Horowitz if they had been following the reaction to the show. Parker jokingly responded: "We're terribly sorry." What People Are Saying White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone on Thursday morning that South Park: "Hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." What's Next The Season 27 premiere of South Park came after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus of the show, and came a day after the show's creators Parker and Stone had reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. They signed a reported $900 million deal to extend South Park to Season 30, which should take the show up to 2027. The 26th season featured six episodes, so this season may take a similar format.
