The good news is that Yellowjackets was picked up for a fourth season on Showtime and Paramount+. The bad is that it will be the final one.
“After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season,” co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson said. “We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen.”
Do you think the show has come to its natural end, or does the show that takes place in the 1990s on an island after a plane crash—and how it changed the survivors’ lives 25 years after they were rescued—still have more stories to tell?
Showtime picked up Dexter: Original Sin for a second season in April. But that was before Skydance took over Paramount. Now that they have, Variety is reporting that the show will not be getting a second season after all.
While the prequel about young Dexter Morgan in 1991 is wrapped in a plastic sheet, the sequel, Dexter: Resurrection, with Michael C. Hall, is very much alive…for now. Even though new episodes are still being dropped weekly, the writers’ room will be opening soon for season 2.
Paramount+ and Showtime released the first full trailer for the prequel to Dexter. I did not watch the original series, but Dexter: Original Sin looks so enticing.
Set in 1991 Miami, DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Can we talk about how good a job casting did with the younger versions of the characters we know? You would actually think it is them 15 years younger.
The series makes its Paramount+ debut on December 13, and two days later, it will air on Showtime.
Dexter is ready to make a killing again on Paramot+ with Showtimune. However, not with Michael C. Hall this time. This time, we get to see how he became the man who he is now.

If that first image is any hint of what we can expect from the prequel, I can’t wait to watch it.
