Dexter: Original Sin debuted on Friday, December 13 with one episode on Paramount+ before its cable premiere on Sunday evening. Episode rollout will continue that way with two new episodes streaming this Friday. This data encompasses viewership from Friday through Sunday.

Perhaps future episodes will come up with worthy points of interest in Dexter’s early days, but right now it seems like “Dexter: Original Sin” exists solely because “Dexter: New Blood” was well-rated and Showtime needs a franchise. So long as that’s the case, I guess we’ve got our answer: Dexter can’t die.

Paramount+ and Showtime have given us a little gift this week in the form of two new episodes of Dexter: Original Sin. It looks like the show will take a brief one-week hiatus in January, hence the double episode this time.

Dexter: Original Sin has set a new Showtime streaming record following its premiere. Created by Clyde Phillips, the creator behind the original Dexter series starring Michael C. Hall, the prequel show sees Patrick Gibson step into the role of the titular serial killer.
