"Dexter: Original Sin" Renewed for Season 2

Yara Sameh "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. 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 Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
