Dexter: Original Sin Season 2 – Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details

By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 23, 2025, 11:53 IST 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. : Patrick absolutely nailed young Dexter—charming, creepy, and all kinds of complicated.

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. : Harry, Dexter's dad and moral guide (well, as moral as you get teaching your kid to kill 'bad guys'), is a fan favorite.

Molly Brown as Debra Morgan : Deb's just starting her cop journey after joining the police academy in Season 1. She's bound to be back, probably stirring up trouble as she gets closer to Dexter's secrets. : Deb's just starting her cop journey after joining the police academy in Season 1.

She's confirmed she's returning, even though she was just a guest star last season. Fans are stoked! : Buffy herself stole scenes as the forensics chief, and guess what? She's confirmed she's returning, even though she was just a guest star last season. 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.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's notable shows and movies, from 'The Cosby Show' to 'The Resident'

Malcolm-Jamal Warner was more than just a sitcom darling. The Emmy-nominated actor, who reportedly died on Sunday, July 20, after drowning off the coast of Costa Rica, is most well-known for his role as Theo Huxtable on the classic family sitcom "The Cosby Show," a show that launched the teen actor to stardom in the 1980s. However, Warner was also a chameleon of sorts throughout his career, tackling genres such as action, comedy and drama after his iconic tenure on the NBC series that made him a household name.

Dexter: Resurrection star Michael C Hall: ‘I was pinching myself to see Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Neil Patrick Harris in the same room'

Michael C Hall first played Dexter in the eponymous show 19 years ago when the first episode dropped on Showtime. He essayed the forensic technician, moonlighting as a vigilante serial killer, for seven years before taking a backseat. He reprised the role eight years later in Dexter: New Blood, set 10 years after the season 8 finale. He's a father to Harrison Morgan now, who goes in his father's footsteps and shoots his own dad in the New Blood finale. Now, as Hall returns to find his absconding son in Dexter: Resurrection (streaming in India on Amazon Prime Video), he talks to SCREEN exclusively about the father-son dynamic, shifting action to New York City, and rounding up a deadly roaster of assassins in the new installment. Between Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Resurrection, you played the 'inner voice' of the character in the prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin. How did that help you going into Resurrection? The show has often alluded to Dexter's origin story and those early years. I've also thought about them imaginatively as an actor. But to have the chance to spend time with those scripts and the show, and to do the voiceover, that just gave fully-fleshed out colour to what had probably been a notion, an outline, or a line drawing. So, it was really helpful to spend time thinking about the character's origin story in detail, which I hadn't before. It was really good preparation for the return. For the audience, it enriches their time spent with the character in the present tense. The setting in Resurrection is New York City, which isn't as snowy as Iron Lake in New Blood or as summery as Miami in the previous seasons. How does that lend a new texture to the show? It's a new place to hide in plain sight. Miami is also a big city, but it couldn't be more different in terms of its climate and architecture. Miami is round, hot, and sweaty. New York is cold, steely, angular, and concrete. I think of that environment as symbolic of Dexter's rigid commitment to who he is and who he isn't. Being in the physical environment of New York helped fortify that. It's also a place where many, many people congregate. So there's an increasing likelihood that Dexter will encounter formidable and worthy victims, and he does in ways unanticipated. As he says it at some point, 'Only in New York!' So yeah, it gave a freshness and new flavour to the story we were telling in a way that only a city like New York could. And maybe there's only one city like New York, and that's New York. Speaking of New York City, you seem to have found your own Hotel Intercontinental from John Wick! There's Peter Dinklage assembling a host of assassins, including Uma Thurman, the OG assassin from Kill Bill (2003) days. How was that like? It was amazing! It was an assembly of unsavoury superheroes. It felt like Dexter got transported to a twisted superhero movie. But it was incredible. I was pinching myself to see Uma Thurman in the room, and Peter, Neil Patrick Harris, David Dastmalchian, Krystan Ritter, Eric Stonestreet — just an ensemble of fantastic, and very different, actors. All of them were relishing the chance to exist in this heightened, crazy world. It was very gratifying for us that we were able to attract people of this calibre to join us. It was a blast, one of the richest ensembles I've ever been a part of. Also Read — The Old Guard 2 movie review: Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman chew each other up in Netflix's cheap-looking sequel Since you lost your father when you were just 11, is there something that Michael sees of himself in Dexter's son Harrison? There's been a father-son dynamic at play in a lot of work I've done, and certainly in Dexter. I consider my own relationship with my father when I think of Dexter's relationship with Harry. Portraying a relationship with a son, who thought he lost his father and then reappearing on him — and then reappearing on him once again in the context of this show — yes, there's a resonance in terms of my own story. I don't think have to think about it explicitly. That's all just in me and a part of my experience of life. So any simulation of a father-son relationship is going to be informed by that. Yeah, there's some soothing, therapeutic element in this ritual where I'm telling this fictional story about a father and a son, given my own relationship with my pretty-much internalized, absent-from-this-Earth father. But yeah, it's all in the mix.
