We have some bad news for fans who were currently (re)watching Dexter on Netflix.
On June 19, 2024, Dexter made a highly anticipated return to Netflix after nearly four years of absence. All eight seasons—a total of 96 gripping episodes of the cult-favorite series—were made available to U.S. subscribers for a limited one-year run.
Fans were hopeful that a new agreement between Netflix and Paramount would extend the show's availability through at least the end of 2025. However, according to recent reports, that deal has unfortunately fallen through.
Despite early reports in mid-June suggesting the renewal was imminent—especially with Dexter: Resurrection generating fresh buzz—Netflix will not be renewing the series in the U.S. anytime soon.
Is Dexter Still Available on Netflix?
While Dexter has been removed from Netflix U.S., there's good news for international fans: the series remains available on Netflix in many other countries. So if you're outside the States, you may still find all eight seasons in your regional Netflix library.
Where to Watch Dexter Now in the U.S.
If you're in the United States and wondering where to stream the original Dexter series now that it has left Netflix, the answer is simple: Paramount+.
All 96 episodes of the original Dexter series are available to stream exclusively on Paramount+. This is also where you’ll find the full seasons of Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Original Sin. The highly anticipated sequel, Dexter: Resurrection, will also premiere its 10-episode first season on Paramount+.
Dexter’s Successful Run on Netflix
During its year-long run, Dexter experienced a remarkable resurgence in popularity. The series introduced a new generation of viewers to the dark and complex world of Dexter Morgan. It consistently ranked on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming charts and, at its peak last summer, became the second most-watched show, racking up an impressive 1.48 billion minutes of viewing time.
Final Thoughts
While it's disappointing that Dexter has left Netflix, its legacy and fanbase remain stronger than ever. With new chapters unfolding on Paramount+, now is the perfect time to revisit the original series—or dive into it for the first time.
