Dexter: Original Sin, the highly awaited prequel series to Dexter, premiered on Paramount+ with Showtime on December 13, 2024, and got the audience hooked from the word go. The mystery crime drama showcases the origin story of the titular serial killer.

Dexter’s storyline in the OG show left him hiding out as a lumberjack after his stepsister, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), was killed off. But in “New Blood,” it was implied that his life had ended, so they decided to opt for another spinoff instead.
