Remaining Episodes of Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 and Finale Release Date

WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for Dexter: Original Sin season 1, episode 1! Showtime’s exciting new prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, has officially premiered. Building on the legacy of the original Dexter series, which captivated audiences from 2006 to 2013 and returned with the limited series Dexter: New Blood in 2021, this show takes fans back to the formative years of Dexter Morgan’s life as both a serial killer and a forensic analyst at Miami Metro. Set in 1991, Dexter: Original Sin delves into the beginnings of his dark journey, featuring young Dexter, Deb, and a still-alive Harry Morgan as Dexter finally receives approval to adopt Harry’s strict moral code.

The premiere episode of Dexter: Original Sin aired on December 13, 2024, and has garnered positive feedback from viewers and critics alike. The debut focuses on Dexter’s first taste of killing, sheds light on Harry’s backstory, and explores Dexter’s initial experiences as an intern at Miami Metro. With a mix of new characters alongside familiar faces, the opening episode sets the stage for a complex web of emotions, character relationships, and the signature methods that defined the original series. Throughout the season, audiences can anticipate deeper explorations of Dexter’s chilling path, new antagonists, and impactful family dynamics prior to the season finale.

Nine Episodes Remain in Dexter: Original Sin Season 1

New Episodes Premiere Fridays on Paramount+ With Showtime

After the first episode of Dexter: Original Sin, there are still nine episodes left in this inaugural season. New episodes stream weekly on Fridays at 12:01 AM ET via Paramount+ with Showtime. For those who prefer traditional viewing, the episodes will air on Showtime every Sunday at 10 PM ET, with a notable exception: a two-episode release on December 20 featuring episodes 2 and 3 debuting on streaming that day. Following this schedule, fans can enjoy one new episode each Friday.

Importantly, there will be a hiatus on January 17, 2025, with the series resuming on January 24, 2025, continuing the ten-episode format.

This season marks a shift from the original show’s standard of 12 episodes per season, aligning instead with the recent trend followed by Dexter: New Blood and other Showtime offerings. While the original Dexter series consisted of 12 episodes each season, it has become more common for Showtime series to adopt the 10-episode structure post-Dexter: New Blood, which also concluded with a limited run of 10 episodes.

Season 1 Finale of Dexter: Original Sin Set for February 14, 2025

Episode 10 Will Conclude the Inaugural Season

The highly anticipated season finale of Dexter: Original Sin is set to stream on February 14, 2025, at 12:01 AM ET on Paramount+. Its linear premiere on Showtime will follow on February 16, 2025, at 10 PM ET. After the conclusion of this Dexter prequel, the prime-time slot on Showtime will be filled by the return of Yellowjackets season 3.

Entitled “Code Blues,” the tenth episode hints at potential tragedy, referencing the hospital code commonly associated with heart attack situations. This has led to speculation among fans that Harry Morgan may face a dire fate in the finale, especially since narration from Michael C. Hall suggests Harry has roughly one year left following a heart attack in the series premiere. Whether this impactful event occurs in season 1 or later remains uncertain, but it’s clear that Dexter: Original Sin is building toward a pivotal moment for the Morgan family.

Upcoming Dexter Series Following Dexter: Original Sin’s Season 1 Finale

Dexter: Resurrection Set to Debut in 2025

Fans will not have to wait long for further developments in the Dexter universe following the conclusion of Dexter: Original Sin. In response to the controversial ending of Dexter: New Blood in 2022, which left viewers shocked with the death of Dexter Morgan at the hands of his son Harrison, Showtime has shifted focus to two new spin-offs: the aforementioned Dexter: Original Sin and a highly anticipated sequel, Dexter: Resurrection.

The opening sequence of Dexter: Original Sin reveals a surprising twist: despite the events of New Blood, Dexter, portrayed by Michael C. Hall, survived the gunshot and was saved by medical professionals. This unexpected development paves the way for Dexter: Resurrection, which aims to bring Hall back as the iconic character following his dramatic recovery. While an exact premiere date remains undisclosed, Showtime has confirmed that Dexter: Resurrection will debut on Paramount+ with Showtime in summer 2025. Should Dexter: Original Sin see a second season, it is likely to follow the conclusion of Resurrection.
