The Paramount TV Studios team had initially confirmed the renewal, sparking excitement among viewers. However, it was later revealed that the show was actually on hiatus and production dates had not been scheduled.
The spin-off series served as a prequel to the original Dexter, shedding light on the character of Dexter Morgan in his youth.
