The sixth episode of Dexter: Original Sin has officially arrived!
Fans of Dexter: Original Sin are in for a treat tonight as a brand-new episode debuts on Paramount+ with the Showtime plan. Titled "The Joy of Killing", this latest installment promises to explore Dexter’s evolving life as a serial killer, a theme that has resonated strongly with viewers based on feedback so far.
However, there’s a scheduling note to keep in mind: Dexter: Original Sin will take a one-week hiatus following the double-episode release on December 20. This means there will be no new episode next week, and Episode 7 will premiere on January 24, instead of the originally expected January 17.
The newest episode, written by a fresh talent in the franchise, has been streaming since 12:01 AM EST, so some of you may have already tuned in. Later today, Dexter Daily will launch its popular Friday poll, giving fans the opportunity to rate the episode.
