Canceling a TV show after already renewing it may not be the original sin, but surely Dante would have something to say about it. Paramount canceled prequel series Dexter: Original Sin on August 22, after previously renewing the show in April, per Variety. The show follows the titular serial killer in his youth, starring Patrick Gibson, with the original Dexter, Michael C. Hall, voicing the narrator. The series aired on Paramount+ and was renewed about a month after its first season ended on February 14. No production dates were scheduled, according to a Variety report, and the publication’s sources say that, despite the renewal announcement, the show was actually on hiatus. The decision to change courses on Original Sin comes less than a month after new leadership took control of Paramount, which was bought by David Ellison’s Skydance.
Currently, Paramount+ is airing Dexter: Resurrection, a sequel to the original series starring Hall as Dexter. A writers’ room for season two of Resurrection is in development, per Variety, though it has not been renewed. And even if it is renewed — could anybody trust it?
