Paramount has canceled "Dexter: Original Sin"'s second season, despite an initial renewal announcement. The decision comes as Paramount reassesses its programming slate after merging with Skydance. Instead, they're focusing on "Dexter: Resurrection," starring Michael C. Hall, which has received strong viewership and critical acclaim (94% on Rotten Tomatoes). "Original Sin," a prequel set in 1991, featured a star-studded cast but ultimately couldn't secure a second season amid Showtime's ongoing decline.
