New updates on Episode 1's viewership have surfaced online.
As fans eagerly await the next episode of Dexter: Resurrection, fresh insights have emerged about the performance of the series premiere, titled "A Beating Heart...".
According to an exclusive report from Deadline from earlier today, the premiere episode attracted a staggering 4.4 million cross-platform viewers within its first seven days, from July 11 to July 18.
This impressive figure marks a new streaming milestone for Showtime, officially making Dexter: Resurrection the most-watched series premiere in the network’s history. The momentum continues to build, with viewership climbing 41 percent from its initial three-day total of 3.1 million—a testament to the enduring popularity of the Dexter franchise.
When compared to Dexter: Original Sin, the numbers are even more striking. The premiere of Resurrection outperformed the prequel’s debut episode, which aired on December 13, by 25 percent during its comparable seven-day window.
While this is the second major update on Dexter: Resurrection’s performance, Showtime has yet to release the viewership numbers for episode three, which were expected today. Fans and industry watchers alike remain on alert for the latest data as the series continues to make waves.
With the Dexter: Resurrection panel set for tomorrow at San Diego Comic-Con, all eyes are on what updates might be revealed about the future of the sequel series—especially in light of its record-breaking viewership. Could an early Season 2 renewal be on the horizon for the newly beloved revival? Stay tuned to Dexter Daily for all the latest updates!
