So, it was hardly surprising that fans were so shocked when, only a few months later, it was confirmed that Paramount had decided not to continue the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In response to the news, a fan petition surfaced on Change.org<\/a> calling upon signatures to save Dexter: Original sin from cancellation.<\/p>\n

The petition, aimed at “the network executives involved in the decision-making process,” describes the show as “a captivating series” that “has been unjustly cancelled.”<\/p>\n

Over the last two weeks, the petition has racked up nearly 80,000 signatures from fans around the world, with multiple thousands continuing to sign each day.<\/p>\n

Original Sin was one of two Dexter spin-off series to air this year, with Dexter: Resurrection<\/a> also hitting our screens.<\/p>\n

Unlike Original Sin, the fate of Resurrection is still very much up in the air, with no cancellation nor renewal having been announced.<\/p>\n

While seemingly demonstrating a huge swell of support for Original Sin, it remains to be seen whether this petition will have much, if any effect on the show’s fate.<\/p>\n

A similar petition<\/a> following Prime Video’s cancellation of The Wheel of Time racked up over 220 thousand signatures, though the show is yet to be picked up for a fourth season.<\/p>\n

Though Original Sin may be dead and buried, gone the way of many of Dexter’s own victims, the same perhaps cannot be said for star Patrick Gibson.<\/p>\n

The Irish actor has branched out from the world of TV and film, recently being confirmed as a young James Bond<\/a> in upcoming video game adaptation 007 First Light.<\/p>\n

Dexter: Original Sin is available to stream on Paramount Plus.<\/p>\n
