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

Dexter: Original Sin has set up the sequel series, Resurrection, but it has the potential to run for multiple seasons alongside it.

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.
