Dan Stevens Is Playing a Terrifying New Killer in Part 2 of Paramount+'s Best Thriller Series

Dexter has remained one of the most recognizable slasher shows even years after wrapping in 2013, but it wasn’t until it arrived on Netflix that it experienced a major revival. The series spent multiple months topping the platform’s charts, as a fresh wave of viewers embraced its distinctive take on the serial killer genre, focusing on the killer instead of the investigators pursuing him. In Dexter’s case, though, he targets individuals who have committed horrific crimes themselves, making him one of the more interesting characters to root for in television history. The show’s streaming resurgence ultimately pushed Paramount, which holds the rights, to move forward with several spin-offs that began releasing in 2024.
