RUMOR: DEXTER: RESURRECTION Has Been Renewed For A Second Season Following ORIGINAL SIN's Shock Cancelation

Dexter: Resurrection recently wrapped up, though fans were left eager to see more of Dexter Morgan hunting down his fellow serial killers. Well, we may have a positive update on that front today...

Dexter season 8 delivered one of the most unsatisfying TV series finales ever. While New Blood went some way in making up for that, many fans were understandably disappointed when the revival wrapped up with the serial killer's death. 

The short-lived Dexter: Original Sin confirmed that he'd survived, but largely focused on his formative years. The show had been renewed for a second season, but was recently cancelled; while that was met with some disappointment, many fans would prefer to see Dexter: Resurrection return. 

In that series, we followed the Bay Harbor Butcher as he made his way to New York City to reunite with his son and take out a group of serial killers who assemble at the behest of billionaire sociopath and serial killer aficionado, Leon Prater.

The finale saw Dexter vanquish Prater and steal his files on murderers who are operating across the entire country. If that's the last we see of Dexter, it was a great ending. However, fans are understandably eager for the story to continue as the former blood spatter analyst sets out to dole out lethal justice to more of his fellow serial killers.

While Variety recently reported that "Paramount is imminently planning to open a writers room for a potential Season 2 of 'Dexter: Resurrection,'" scooper Daniel Richtman has today said, "I hear Dexter has been renewed for season 2."

It makes perfect sense for the series to have been officially renewed, especially in the wake of Dexter: Original Sin's sudden cancellation. There are rumblings about a spin-off revolving around Arthur Mitchell's evolution into the Trinity Killer, but with Dexter: Resurrection scoring rave reviews and high viewership numbers, that's likely the priority for Showtime. 

We have no official word on the Dexter franchise's future as we write this, but everyone involved has expressed enthusiasm over the prospect of continuing this story.

Dexter: Resurrection, a continuation of Dexter: New Blood, takes place weeks after Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) takes a bullet to the chest from his own son, as he awakens from a coma to find Harrison (Jack Alcott) gone without a trace. Realising the weight of what he put his son through, Dexter sets out for New York City, determined to find him and make things right. But closure won’t come easy.

When Miami Metro’s Angel Batista (David Zayas) arrives with questions, Dexter realises his past is catching up to him fast. As father and son navigate their own darkness in the city that never sleeps, they soon find themselves deeper than they ever imagined – and that the only way out is together. 

All episodes of Dexter: Resurrection are now streaming on Paramount+.
