Dexter: Original Sin – Canceled After Being Renewed
Renewal Date: April 2025
Cancellation Date: August 22, 2025
Dexter: Original Sin was renewed back in April, but now it has been canceled again.
Variety‘s sources reported that “the series has in fact been on hiatus and no plans to shoot a second season had moved forward and no production dates were scheduled.”
Patrick Gibson played a young Dexter on the series with Michael C. Hall providing the voiceover for Dexter’s inner voice.
Set in 1991 Miami, the prequel series follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
