It is being reported that Dexter: Original Sin has been renewed for Season 2 by Paramount+ with Showtime. The news comes less than two months after the drama wrapped its 10-episode freshman run.

A prequel to 'Dexter,' the series is set in 1991 Miami, where Dexter Morgan is a student with bloodthirsty urges that he can no longer ignore. With guidance from his father, Harry, he adopts a code designed to help him channel his inner darkness by finding and killing people who deserve to be eliminated from society without alerting law enforcement. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

While the network has not officially commented on the renewal, word is that a writers room for the second season is getting ready to begin.
