"Dexter: Original Sin" has been canceled by Paramount after just one season. Oddly enough, the series received a renewal back in April, but that is no longer the case. Instead, the series will come to an abrupt end after just one season. Variety reported on the cancellation, providing more details about the show being shut down.

Dexter' prequel series 'Original Sin' has been canceled, despite getting a season 2 renewal in April. However, EW has learned that a writers' room for season 2 of sequel series 'Dexter: Resurrection' will open soon.

News of Original Sin’s untimely demise comes as Showtime’s gradual decline has continued steady for years. Once a champion of premium scripted content on par with HBO, the network’s current slate has been slimmed down to just a handful of scripted originals and a rebrand as Paramount+ with Showtime.
