Original Sin showrunner Clyde Phillips reveals that the prequel was greenlit the second that Dexter: New Blood officially ended.

Phillips, 66, who spoke to The Post at the show’s premiere on Wednesday night in New York, lovingly calls the new iteration a “family show for a serial killer,” noting that “there’s a lot of father-son stuff going on here.”

Dexter, the Showtime drama which stars Michael C. Hall as a serial killer with a strict moral code, has a complicated legacy. It’s a show that was hugely acclaimed in its early seasons, earning multiple Emmy nominations and a couple of wins, but has one of the most widely hated finales of all time.
