The final season also performed well, with the series finale drawing 2.8 million viewers, which Dexter: Original Sin would likely want to replicate. At the time, it became Showtime’s most-watched original series episode ever. The series was revived in 2021 with Dexter: New Blood, which aimed to provide a more conclusive ending to the story after the original series finale received mixed reviews.
Dexter: New Blood received a better reception, offering a darker and more introspective look at Dexter’s character and legacy. It will be interesting to see if the new offering in the franchise, Dexter: Original Sin, will match the success of the flagship series.
