Meanwhile, prequel series Dexter: Original Sin premiered late last year and will wrap up its first season this Friday (February 14).

It stars Shadow and Bone actor Patrick Gibson as a young Dexter, as well as Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, Mr Robot's Christian Slater, singer Christina Milian and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Speaking of Buffy, Gellar recently stated that the iconic series is likely getting a resurrection of its own.

"This has been a long process, and it’s not over yet," she wrote on Instagram. "I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there."

Dexter: Original Sin is airing on Paramount+.
