Well this was shocking. Dexter Original Sin, the prequel to Dexter, was CANCELLED!
This is upsetting not only because I was a huge fan of the first season, but the network had already announced that it was renewed for a second season, and the writers were working on the show. On top of that, Dexter OS was the second most streamed show in the history of Paramount, only behind Dexter Resurrection. This is one of the most head scratching decisions I've ever seen in TV. Why would you cancel a show that is a huge hit, that has a loyal audience, and was already announced and started working on the next season?? It might be because of the new CEO.
Paramount merged with Skydance earlier this month and the new staff appears to want to go in a different direction. This happens all the time in business. Some new boss comes in and changes what is working so they can put their own stamp on the brand. They could have just done one more season. The writers would have made it work and taken it right up to where it needed to be. What a terrible way to treat their supporters, the supports of their biggest and second biggest show of all time. This is an outrage.
I am VERY ANGRY!!!
