Dexter fans have been on an emotional rollercoaster this year, with popular prequel series Original Sin being renewed for season 2 only to be cancelled four months later. The other Dexter show released this year, Resurrection, seems to be moving forward after a successful release last month.

Fans are taking to social media to complain about this unexpected cancellation, using hashtags like #SaveDexterOriginalSin and #BringBackDexterOriginalSin.

"Dexter: Original Sin set records for Showtime & was their most streamed premiere ever at the time. The finale had even more viewers than the premiere & it became Showtime’s most streamed series in a DECADE. Then you cancel it AFTER an initial renewal?!," another fan pointed out.

"We needed more. The writers planned for us to see Dexter in his apartment, in the green Henley… we still had 15 years of stories left. Fans want more. We need more," argued another one.

"You’ll have to learn how to blend better. He will have to learn how to kill better and more efficiently. So, next season, does he get his boat? Does he get his apartment? Does he start wearing the Henley? Does he start doing the red string thing? Those are things that we’re going to explore, it’ll be like coming home for the audience with the music, Michael [C. Hall]’s voice, which is crucial to the show," he added.
