Canceling a TV show after already renewing it may not be the original sin, but surely Dante would have something to say about it. Paramount canceled prequel series Dexter: Original Sin on August 22, after previously renewing the show in April, per . The show follows the titular serial killer in his youth, starring Patrick Gibson, with the original Dexter, Michael C. Hall, voicing the narrator.
Michael C Hall casually suggested bringing Dexter back after his apparent death. He considered it an opportunity for the character to relinquish long-held burdens.
On July 7, 2025, the Empire State Building lit up in a dramatic shade of blood red to celebrate the return of TV's most complicated antihero. Dexter: Resurrection, the newest chapter in Showtime's long-running franchise, brings Michael C. Hall's iconic vigilante back to life, and fans couldn't be more ready.
