With reactions flooding social media platforms like X cformerly Twitterc and TikTok, it's evident that Dexter has left an indelible mark on its audience.
In the United States, Paramount+ stands as the new home for Dexter and its spin-off series, offering viewers the chance to delve into the dark world of Dexter Morgan once again. For those outside the US, options such as Apple TV provide the opportunity to watch individual episodes, albeit at a cost of $2.99 per episode. While Netflix UK and Canada will retain Dexter until March 31, 2026, viewers worldwide are preparing to say their goodbyes to this iconic series.
