Overview

• Paramount has reversed the April renewal of Dexter: Original Sin, with reports saying the prequel had been on hiatus and never opened a writers room or set production dates.
• A writers room is being assembled for a potential Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection, though an official pickup has not yet been granted and would depend on budget approvals.
• Dexter: Resurrection has posted strong metrics, including roughly 3.1 million viewers in three days and 4.4 million in seven days for its premiere, plus a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and about a 9.2/10 IMDb rating.
• Season 1 of Resurrection is currently rolling out on Paramount+ Premium and Showtime with new episodes on Fridays at midnight ET, with Episode 8 on Aug. 22 and the finale set for Sept. 5.
• The shift follows the Skydance-Paramount shakeup, with executive Matt Thunell steering resources to the Hall-led series and leaving other planned spin-offs, including a Trinity Killer prequel, uncertain.
