Showtime can’t let “Dexter” die — the franchise and, it turns out, the eponymous antihero himself. Fans were unhappy with the ending of the original series in 2013, which remains the most watched program in the history of the Paramount-owned premium cable network. They were perhaps even angrier about how the recent revival, “Dexter: New Blood,” concluded in 2022, with Dexter Morgan’s son, Harrison, murdering him. The first show in this effort is “Dexter: Original Sin,” which launches on Paramount+ with Showtime in December. The current batch of eight episodes is the second most-watched season of a TV series in Prime Video’s history.
