The series Dexter: Original Sin was unexpectedly canceled just a few weeks after being officially renewed. This surprising decision has generated discontent among those involved in the production, especially from the showrunner Clyde Phillips, who expressed his frustration on the Dissecting Dexter podcast. Phillips criticized Paramount for the management they carried out and expressed concern about the uncertain future of the franchise.
Changes in the leadership and poor management of the series
The cancellation of the series occurred in the context of a series of changes at the top of Paramount, a situation exacerbated by the recent merger with Skydance. These changes have triggered an atmosphere of uncertainty that affects not only Dexter: Original Sin but also other potential spin-offs that were in development.
Despite this bad news, there is a glimmer of hope in the form of a prequel centered on the iconic villain Trinity, played by John Lithgow. According to Phillips, ten episodes of this series have already been written, suggesting that the project is technically advanced. However, the showrunner does not seem optimistic about its production, noting that “I don’t see them doing it.”
This grim outlook not only leaves Dexter fans with more questions than answers, but it also raises concerns about the future direction of the franchise. With the recent instability within Paramount, the fate of both the prequel and other related projects remains up in the air, which could turn the excitement for the Dexter universe into a sea of uncertainty.

A principios de los 00s la televisión empezó a brillar como nunca antes. Aunque ya en los 90s es cuando empezó a germinar la idea de que podía tener prestigio e importancia, no sería hasta una década después que realmente se consideró que podría haber algo valioso y no un mero entretenimiento para pasar el rato en ella. Fue gracias a cadenas de HBO, con series de gran calidad y empaque cinematográfico, pero también la CBS y otras cadenas que se interesaron por dar ese alto en calidad.
Hay muchas series de esa época que tuvieron mucho que ver con la explosión de la televisión tal y como la conocemos hoy. Nombrarlas todas es absurdo y daría para un libro. Pero lo que si podemos nombrar es la serie en específico que ahora vuelve con una secuela y que ha arrasado entre el público y la crítica estadounidense: Dexter.

Una serie mítica de Showtime
Si has vivido debajo de una piedras, Dexter es la adaptación de una serie de novelas de Jeff Lindsay. Con ocho temporadas y tres showrunners emitida entre 2006 y 2013, la serie fue protagonizada por Michael C. Hall, que fue catapultado al estrellato gracias a la misma, y aunque hoy es recordada con pasión, sus últimas dos temporadas fueron recibidas no sin sus detractores. Aunque tampoco nos llevemos a engaño. El último episodio de la serie fue seguido por 2.8 millones de espectadores, pulverizando todos los récords de la cadena y fijando una cifra demencial incluso para hoy en día.
Sorprendentemente, dejaron descansar la serie durante mucho tiempo. Su primera secuela no llegaría hasta 2021 con una única temporada y una recepción más bien tibia, bajo el nombre Dexter: New Blood. Y más recientemente volvió a ser rescatada, con mejor recepción entre el público pero con nulo entusiasmo por parte de la crítica, a finales de 2024 con Dexter: Original Sin.
Con estos antecedentes, ante el anuncio de Dexter: Resurrection, una secuela directa de Dexter: New Blood, los fans y la crítica no estaban precisamente entusiasmados ante la idea de una nueva serie de Dexter. Pero la realidad es que esta nueva serie, compuesta de diez episodios, ha superado las expectativas de todo el mundo. Rescatando buena parte del tono de la segunda mitad del tono original, con muchas caras conocidas como Uma Thurman y Peter Dinklage en papeles importantes, y algunos giros realmente alocados, la serie ha conseguido encandilar a crítica y público.
Arrasando entre crítica y público
Con 3.1 millones de espectadores en sus primeros tres días, es la premire más vista en el servicio de streaming de Showtime. Superando en un 44% a Original Sin y a un 76% a Dexter New Blog. Pero incluso los críticos parecen mucho más inclinados a reconocer su valor. Aunque en Metacritic tiene un discreto 65 sobre 100, en Rotten Tomatoes tiene un excelente 95% de aprobación de 59 críticas, demostrando que este sí es el regreso que estaban esperando sus fans.
También ayuda que esta sea la primera de las series, desde la Dexter original, cuya trama parece tener un foco más allá de ser una serie de Dexter. Centrándose en la búsqueda de su hijo y siempre perseguido por el Capitán Ángel Batista, se encontrará con una sociedad de asesinos en serie que acabarán interponiéndose en su camino. Porque como ya hemos dicho, si algo cabe esperar de esta nueva temporada, es mucha más locura.
Si quieres comprobarlo por ti mismo, Dexter: Resurrection se estrena en streaming en SkyShowtime hoy mismo. Así que si eras fan de Dexter o no te has perdido ni una sola de sus secuelas y precuelas, no tienes razón para perderte la que, por fin, parece que es la buena. Y que según dicen los rumores, tendrá segunda temporada.

There are many series from that era that had a lot to do with the explosion of television as we know it today. Naming them all is absurd and would be enough for a book. But what we can mention is the specific series that is now returning with a sequel and has taken the American audience and critics by storm: Dexter.
SkyShowtime is a streaming platform from which you can stream series, movies, and entertainment programs in video on demand (VOD) format.

A legendary series from Showtime
If you’ve been living under a rock, Dexter is the adaptation of a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay. With eight seasons and three showrunners aired between 2006 and 2013, the series starred Michael C. Hall, who was catapulted to stardom thanks to it, and although it is remembered with passion today, its last two seasons were not without their detractors. But let’s not kid ourselves. The series finale was watched by 2.8 million viewers, shattering all the network’s records and setting a staggering figure even for today.
Surprisingly, they let the series rest for a long time. Its first sequel would not arrive until 2021 with a single season and a rather lukewarm reception, under the name Dexter: New Blood. And more recently it was rescued again, with better reception among the audience but with no enthusiasm from the critics, at the end of 2024 with Dexter: Original Sin.
With this background, upon the announcement of Dexter: Resurrection, a direct sequel to Dexter: New Blood, fans and critics were not exactly thrilled at the idea of a new Dexter series. But the reality is that this new series, consisting of ten episodes, has exceeded everyone’s expectations. Rescuing much of the tone from the second half of the original, with many familiar faces like Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage in significant roles, and some truly wild twists, the series has managed to captivate both critics and audiences.
Sweeping Among Critics and Audiences
With 3.1 million viewers in its first three days, it is the most-watched premiere on Showtime’s streaming service. Surpassing Original Sin by 44% and Dexter New Blood by 76%. But even critics seem much more inclined to acknowledge its value. Although it has a modest 65 out of 100 on Metacritic, it boasts an excellent 95% approval rating from 59 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, demonstrating that this is indeed the comeback that its fans were waiting for.
It also helps that this is the first of the series, since the original Dexter, whose plot seems to have a focus beyond being a Dexter series. Focusing on the search for his son and always pursued by Captain Ángel Batista, he will encounter a society of serial killers that will end up getting in his way. Because as we have already said, if there is one thing to expect from this new season, it is much more madness.
If you want to see for yourself, Dexter: Resurrection premieres streaming on SkyShowtime today. So if you were a fan of Dexter or haven’t missed a single one of its sequels and prequels, you have no reason to miss the one that, finally, seems to be the good one. And according to rumors, it will have a second season.

Showtime has decided to cancel the series ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, despite having received the green light for a second season. This decision is part of a context of significant changes within the network, especially following the merger of Paramount and Skydance, which has led to a restructuring in the company’s leadership and the departure of Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and one of the main proponents of establishing the ‘Dexter’ franchise.
It’s not the end of Dexter yet
In light of this cancellation, the efforts of the saga will focus on ‘Dexter: Resurrection’, the sequel to ‘New Blood’, which is already said to be in the development of a second season although, so far, it has not been officially confirmed by Paramount. According to close sources, the team that was working on ‘Original Sin’ has been relocated to the ‘Resurrection’ project, suggesting that the channel’s interest has shifted towards this new narrative.
Despite the fact that some installments of the franchise are in operation, such as ‘Resurrection’, there are concerns about the overall continuity of the saga. The uncertainty is exacerbated by a tense financial environment in which Paramount is prioritizing budget containment and reviewing its future projects. In this sense, both ‘Original Sin’ and other announced series are in a development limbo.
This is not the first time that the story of ‘Dexter’ has undergone drastic changes. The sequel ‘Resurrection’ already marks a turn in what was initially going to be the second season of ‘New Blood’. This raises the possibility that the cancellation of ‘Original Sin’ could open the door to a new prequel, although details about its focus or characters have not yet been finalized, such as the possible inclusion of the “Ice Truck Killer” or the already anticipated Trinity Killer.
The series Dexter will no longer be available on Netflix on June 19, 2024, just before the premiere of its new sequel titled Dexter: Resurrection. This situation marks a significant change for Netflix subscribers, who have been able to enjoy all the seasons of the series since its initial release. However, fans won’t have to worry too much, as Dexter will still be available on platforms like Hulu, The Roku Channel, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, and Paramount Plus. Netflix does not want to take advantage of the pull Dexter: Resurrection will be released on July 11, 2024, on Showtime and […]

Netflix does not want to take advantage of the momentum
Dexter: Resurrection will be released on July 11, 2024, on Showtime and Paramount Plus. This new installment picks up the story after the events of Dexter: New Blood, and will feature the return of Michael C. Hall in the role of the iconic serial killer Dexter Morgan. The return of showrunner Clyde Phillips, who was in charge during the first season, raises high expectations among the show’s fans.
The cast of Dexter: Resurrection includes David Zayas as Angel Batista, as well as well-known actors such as Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Krysten Ritter, David Dastmalchian, Steve Schirripa, Neil Patrick Harris, John Lithgow, and Eric Stonestreet, suggesting an ambitious approach for this sequel.
In addition, a new spin-off titled Dexter: Original Sin has been announced, which will premiere in 2024. This project will explore Dexter’s youth as he battles his homicidal impulses, adding another dimension to the series’ mythology.
With the release of Dexter from Netflix and the imminent launch of Dexter: Resurrection, fans have plenty of reasons to stay tuned in the coming months in the world of television and entertainment. The combination of old and new talents promises to revitalize one of the most intriguing crime stories on the small screen.
