Dexter: Original Sin Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Dexter: Original Sin has captivated audiences with its gripping prequel storyline, diving into the early years of Dexter Morgan as he evolves into the iconic vigilante serial killer. Following the success of its first season, fans are eagerly awaiting news about Dexter: Original Sin Season 2 . From release date speculation to cast updates and potential plot points, here's everything we know so far about the next chapter of this thrilling crime drama. Release Date Speculation for Dexter: Original Sin Season 2
Paramount+ with Showtime officially renewed Dexter: Original Sin for a second season on April 1, 2025, just a month after the Season 1 finale aired on February 14, 2025. While an exact release date remains unconfirmed, production details suggest a potential timeline. The first season was announced in 2023, with filming starting in June 2024 and the premiere hitting screens by December 2024. This rapid turnaround indicates that Season 2 could follow a similar schedule. Confirmed and Expected Cast for Season 2
The cast of Dexter: Original Sin Season 2 is expected to feature many familiar faces from the first season, given the prequel's ties to the original Dexter series. Here's a breakdown of the confirmed and likely returning cast members: Patrick Gibson as Dexter Morgan : Gibson's portrayal of a young Dexter has been widely praised, and he's confirmed his enthusiasm to return, noting he'd feel 'lucky' to continue the role.
Christian Slater as Harry Morgan : As Dexter's adoptive father and mentor, Slater's Harry is central to the story. Despite speculation about Harry's canonical death, showrunner Clyde Phillips has expressed a desire to keep Slater involved, possibly through visions or flashbacks.
Molly Brown as Debra Morgan : Debra's decision to join the Miami Metro Police Department in Season 1 sets up her arc for Season 2, making Brown's return a near certainty.
Christina Milian as Maria LaGuerta , James Martinez as Angel Batista , and Alex Shimizu as Vince Masuka : These characters, who appear in the original Dexter series, are expected to return as they continue their early careers at Miami Metro.
Michael C. Hall as Dexter's Inner Voice : Hall's narration as Dexter's inner monologue is a staple of the series and will likely continue in Season 2.
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Tanya Martin : Despite her 'special guest star' status in Season 1, Gellar has confirmed her return for Season 2, adding intrigue to her role as the Miami Metro CSI chief.
Reno Wilson as Bobby Watt: Although Bobby's survival in Season 1 was unexpected, his presence at Miami Metro makes his return likely, unless the storyline shifts toward his canonical death.
New characters may also be introduced, with fan speculation pointing to the arrival of James Doakes and Thomas Matthews, key figures from the original series. Their absence in Season 1 suggests Season 2 could explore their early interactions with Dexter and the Miami Metro team. Additionally, Roby Attal as Brian Moser, Dexter's biological brother, is expected to return, given his ominous appearance in the Season 1 finale. Plot Details and Speculation for Season 2
Dexter: Original Sin Season 1, set in 1991 Miami, chronicled Dexter's first kill and his early days as a forensics intern at the Miami Metro Police Department, guided by Harry's 'Code' to target only those who 'deserve' to die. The Season 1 finale saw Dexter take down Captain Aaron Spencer, a killer hiding in plain sight, while Debra enrolled in the police academy and Brian Moser watched from afar, hinting at darker developments.
While no official synopsis for Season 2 has been released, several plot points are likely based on the Season 1 finale and the broader Dexter universe: Dexter's Evolution as a Killer : Showrunner Clyde Phillips has teased that Season 2 will explore Dexter becoming 'more confident with his methods' and taking 'bigger swings,' potentially facing tougher consequences. This aligns with Patrick Gibson's comments about the stakes getting 'higher and higher'.
Harry's Tragic Fate : In the original Dexter series, Harry Morgan dies by suicide in 1992 after witnessing Dexter's gruesome actions. Season 2, likely set in 1992, may build toward this pivotal moment, exploring Harry's guilt and grief, possibly influenced by Brian Moser's actions.
Debra's Police Academy Journey: Debra's decision to join the police force sets up a complex dynamic with Dexter and Harry, as she may begin to suspect their secretive behavior. Dexter Original Sin Season 2

John Cena and Idris Elba's New Action-Comedy Is Now Streaming — Here's How to Watch
It's rarely a good thing when two heads of state have a public rivalry, but at least in the new comedy 'Heads of State,' it leads to some fun action. Now streaming, the film directed by 'Nobody' filmmaker Ilya Naishuller sees a world where John Cena is the president and Idris Elba is the UK's Prime Minister. Obviously they're playing characters, not themselves (though imagine that world). They don't get along, but when they find themselves in the same crosshairs, they're forced to work together. More from TheWrap Charlize Theron Says Unnamed Director Who Sexually Harassed Her Reached Out After 2019 Allegation: 'He Started Panicking' | Video 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Aims to Outrun Franchise's Diminishing Box Office Returns With $120 Million+ 5-Day Opening Do You Need to See the Other 'Jurassic World' Movies Before 'Rebirth'? Paramount Says Trump Settlement Doesn't Include PSAs Here's what you need to know. 'Heads of State' released everywhere on Wednesday, July 2. Yes it is! You can find 'Heads of State' over on Prime Video. 'Heads of State' centers on the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena), who have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries' 'special relationship.' 'But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary — who proves more than a match for the two leaders' security forces — they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other,' the synopsis reads. 'Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.' 'Heads of State' is a three-hander between Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Idris Elba and John Cena. But, the film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles.

Paramount Plus slashes prices to $2 for two months
If you're looking for an affordable way to kick off your July 4th weekend, Paramount Plus has a deal worth checking out. Just in time for the July 17th premiere of the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, new subscribers can enjoy two months of Paramount Plus Premium (normally $12.99 per month) or Plus Essential (regularly $7.99 a month) for just $0.99 per month as part of the Summer Sale. Either deal includes all the features of the base Paramount Plus Essential plan, but the Paramount Plus Premium plan offers better value by providing extra perks at the same discounted price. Premium grants access to both Paramount Plus and Showtime, so you can stream Star Trek shows as well as Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Chi, Dexter, Billions, and Yellowjackets. The plan also includes a wide variety of acclaimed films, ranging from Love Me, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Gladiator 2, to classics like The Godfather and Pulp Fiction. Paramount Plus Premium grants you ad-free access to live sports as well as movies and shows from both platforms, including Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Yellowstone catalog, Star Trek shows, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Twin Peaks, Dexter, and more. What's more, Paramount Plus Premium will also let you livestream the upcoming 2025 NFL season, watch 24/7 live news from CBS News, and catch UEFA Champions League matches. And unlike the base plan, Premium is ad-free and allows you to download content to your mobile device for offline viewing, making it perfect for streaming on the go. Unfortunately, after the two month promotion period ends, prices return to normal: $12.99 per month for Paramount Plus Premium or $7.99 for Plus Essential. If you'd rather not pay for either, be sure to set a reminder to cancel. Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we've tested sent to your inbox weekly.
