"Dexter" will film a spin-off series about the younger version of Morgan

The "Yellowstone" spin-off "1923" premiered on December 18 last year and received excellent ratings on the streaming media Paramount+, setting a record for Paramount+'s best premiere in the United States. It attracted a total of 7.4 million viewers on multiple platforms, far ahead of previous "Halo", "1883", "Mayor of Kingston" and others.

It looks like Showtime is following in the footsteps of Yellowstone by launching spin-offs of its hit series, namely Dexter and Billions.

"Dexter" will be filmed as "Dexter: Origins", and the executive producer of the show is Clyde Phillips, the old creator of "Dexter". According to Showtime, "Dexter: Origins" will "dramatize the process of young Morgan's transformation into a vengeful serial killer."

"Dexter: Origins" will be set in Miami and will begin when Morgan graduates from college and joins the Miami Police Department, where he will meet younger versions of several characters from the original TV series.

Showtime has also renewed Dexter, which will focus on Dexter's son Harrison, who escapes to New York, "where he must grapple with his own violent nature and whether, like his father, he is compelled to kill."

CBS also said they are exploring spin-offs with other characters in the Dexter universe.
