A second season has been officially confirmed—let’s see how the cast reacted!
The Dexter: Original Sin finale aired on Valentine’s Day, and after 46 long days of anticipation, Showtime has finally renewed the series for a second season!
What makes this news even more exciting is the timing of the renewal—April Fool’s Day. Given the day’s reputation for pranks, many fans found themselves double- and triple-checking the announcement to confirm it wasn’t a joke. But rest assured, it’s official: Dexter: Original Sin is returning for Season 2!
During the agonizing wait, fans made their voices heard in every way possible—through social media, comments, and of course, Dexter Daily’s polls, where Dexperts overwhelmingly expressed their desire for the prequel series to continue.
A Triumphant First Season
Despite initial skepticism surrounding the prequel, Dexter: Original Sin managed to win over even the most doubtful fans. Ever since its announcement on May 23, 2024, viewers have buzzed about the show’s production quality, casting, performances, gripping plot, and clever Easter eggs. The show’s 10-episode first season successfully captured the essence of the Dexter universe, making its renewal a well-earned victory.
