Dexter Finally Arrives on Netflix: How to Stream Every Season, Hidden Details & Revival Updates

Fans of the darkly addictive crime drama have just hours left to stream all eight seasons of Dexter on Netflix U.S. before the series disappears at 11:59 p.m. PT on June 18, 2025. The Showtime original’s licensing deal expires on June 19, and rights are reverting to Paramount Global, the studio that owns the show. Why the sudden exit? Dexter spent only a single year on Netflix after a surprise return in mid-2024. Netflix’s short-term pact was always scheduled to lapse this summer, and no new agreement was reached. Beginning June 19, every episode will stream exclusively on Paramount+ with Showtime, where the forthcoming sequel series Dexter: Resurrection debuts July 11. Is Dexter leaving Netflix everywhere? No. Current removal notices apply only to the United States. Viewers in Canada, the U.K., Australia, and several EU territories still have access for the foreseeable future because those regions operate under separate licensing deals. Check the “Last Day to Watch” tag on your local Netflix title page to confirm availability. How to keep watching after June 18 • Paramount+ with Showtime: All eight original seasons plus Dexter: New Blood and July’s Dexter: Resurrection will stream here. Annual plans start at $119.99, and new subscribers can still snag a seven-day free trial. • Digital purchase: Full-series bundles are discounted on Prime Video and Apple TV ahead of the removal. • Physical media: The 33-disc Blu-ray “Complete Series + New Blood” set remains the only offline, no-expiration option for collectors. Binge-watch hacks before the deadline 1. Use Smart Downloads on mobile to save episodes you won’t finish tonight (they’ll stay on your device for 30 days). 2. Switch to Netflix’s ad-supported plan if you just need a one-night marathon; it’s $6.99 compared with $15.49 for Standard. 3. Start with Season 4 (“the Trinity Killer”)—critics agree it’s the essential arc if time is short. What’s next for the franchise? Dexter: Resurrection reunites Michael C. Hall with series showrunner Clyde Phillips for a 10-episode continuation set two years after New Blood’s finale. Production wrapped in Vancouver this spring, and the premiere is positioned as one of Paramount+’s tent-pole summer originals. Expect renewed buzz—and possibly another streaming swing—if the revival delivers. Bottom line If you’re in the U.S. and want one last date with everyone’s favorite forensic analyst-turned-serial-killer, queue up Dexter on Netflix tonight. After that, the Bay Harbor Butcher sharpens his knives exclusively on Paramount+ with Showtime.
