Overview

• Clyde Phillips said on the Dissecting Dexter podcast that the prequel’s April renewal was later rescinded, calling the reversal poorly handled after he had told cast and writers to expect a return.
• Reporting ties the un‑renewal to the Paramount–Skydance merger, with the new regime refocusing the franchise on Dexter: Resurrection.
• Variety and others report a writers’ room is planned for a potential Resurrection Season 2, while Original Sin never opened a room or set production dates despite the public pickup.
• Phillips said multiple spinoffs he developed — including a Trinity Killer prequel and a separate Harrison project with completed scripts — are now on the back burner.
• Viewership figures cited in coverage note Original Sin drew about 2.1 million viewers in its first three days and 2.68 million for its finale, as Resurrection posted roughly 3.1 million in three days and 4.4 million in seven.
