WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for Dexter: Original Sin season 1, episode 6! The streaming landscape for Dexter: Original Sin has been consistent, with episodes released on Paramount+ every Friday and airing on Showtime Sundays. However, fans will notice that there will be no new episode released on January 17. Despite this, the excitement surrounding the series continues as it embarks on a new chapter following the controversial reception of the limited series, New Blood. The prequel has captivated viewers with its intriguing storyline centered on a young Dexter Morgan, portrayed by Patrick Gibson, as he navigates his early experiences as a serial killer.
With the conclusion of episode 6 on January 10, viewers are eagerly awaiting Dexter’s pursuit of the killer who abducted Captain Aaron Spencer’s son, Nicky. While fans have grown accustomed to the weekly releases since its debut on December 13, 2024, they will face a brief pause as episode 7 of Dexter: Original Sin will not be available on January 17. Nevertheless, the wait will be short-lived, as the highly anticipated episode titled “The Big Bad Body Problem” will soon arrive on Paramount+ with Showtime.
Mid-Season Hiatus for Dexter: Original Sin on January 17
Scheduled One-Week Hiatus
The absence of a new episode this week is due to a pre-planned mid-season hiatus for Dexter: Original Sin. Although the episode count has surpassed the halfway mark, the schedule reflects that only half of the episodes have been released so far. The first six episodes were distributed weekly, with episodes 2 and 3 launching together on December 20, ultimately establishing a 10-week schedule on Showtime.
This season will conclude with a total of 10 episodes, mirroring the episode lineup of Showtime’s previous limited revival series, Dexter: New Blood. Following the hiatus on January 17, the series will resume releasing the remaining episodes weekly. It is crucial to note that only four episodes remain after episode 6, promising a swift resolution to the unfolding mysteries of the season.
Notably, on January 19, rather than a new episode at its usual Sunday slot of 10 pm ET, Showtime will air a re-run of The Agency season 1, episode 9, following its earlier airing. Additionally, there will be a re-run of episode 6, “The Joy of Killing,”at 8 pm ET, providing an opportunity for viewers to catch up ahead of the forthcoming episode of Dexter: Original Sin.
