Is Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 coming to Netflix? Here's what we know.
The latest chapter in the Dexter saga, Dexter: Original Sin, recently wrapped up its 10-episode first season, leaving fans eager for a second installment. While a Season 2 has yet to be officially confirmed, the excitement surrounding the show continues to build.
Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin follows a young Dexter Morgan, played by Patrick Gibson, as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. Struggling to control his bloodthirsty urges, Dexter learns to channel his darkness under the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater). With Harry’s strict moral Code, Dexter begins hunting those who deserve to be eliminated—all while avoiding detection, a particularly difficult task as he starts a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Dexter and Its History on Netflix
The Dexter franchise has had a complex history with Netflix, with all eight seasons of the original series appearing on and off the platform since the 2010s. Most recently, the show was removed in December 2020. However, in a strategic move to build anticipation for upcoming Dexter spinoffs, the series made a triumphant return to Netflix on June 19, 2024. The decision paid off, as Dexter quickly climbed Nielsen’s Top 10 multiple times in the following months, proving its enduring popularity and the effectiveness of the strategy.
Will Dexter: Original Sin Be Available on Netflix?
As of now, there’s no official confirmation that Dexter: Original Sin will be coming to Netflix anytime soon. The series remains exclusive to Paramount+ in the U.S., and even Dexter: New Blood (2021-2022) has yet to make its way to Netflix—despite the main show being available for several months. While both spinoffs would likely see a significant boost in popularity if they landed on Netflix, there’s no indication that this will happen in the near future.
