Blue Bloods fans are still heartbroken that CBS has canceled Tom Selleck’s long-running series. However, some recent news could give fans of the family drama and police procedural some hope. Could there possibly be a spinoff?
Donnie Wahlberg on Blue Bloods / YouTube CBS Parent Company Head Hints At Blue Bloods Spinoff
Could there possibly be a spinoff series of everyone’s favorite police drama Blue Bloods? According to a recent report by TV Line, it seems more likely. The television industry publication reported that on Tuesday, Brian Robbins, the Paramount Global co-ceo made a surprising announcement. This was at the annual stockholders meeting.
In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods.
Robbins also added that “CBS hit Fire Country shows huge promise.” For over six months, there has been a rumbling about a spinoff of that series named Sheriff Country, starring Lorena Baccarin.

Every. Season. Counts.
The Bear's renewal for simultaneously filmed third and fourth seasons was sweet dad-rock music to the ears of critics and audiences alike.
After sweeping the Emmys and benefiting from word-of-mouth buzz around its Christmas-themed episode "Fishes," the show was practically guaranteed renewal to give us at least one more season with the volatile and tight-knit Berzattos.
An Interesting Experiment
Capitalizing on the moment by filming back-to-back seasons was a smart move for the series and might become a trend for other shows.
Logistically it makes sense to take advantage of utilizing a show's cast and crew for two seasons in one go, instead of having to align all of those schedules again in another eighteen months or so.
In the current landscape of surprise cancellations, it also makes creative sense for a show to film a multi-season arc without the worry of ending on a cliffhanger.

When it comes to the race to win an Emmy, there will be a collective buzz around the award’s 60+ categories until Sept. 15 when we find out who gets the gold.
Arguably one of the most highly competitive awards doesn’t happen at the main event but the weekend before at the Creative Arts ceremony. That’s when the winners in the four guest performer categories (which include guest actor and actress in both comedy and drama genres) are awarded for a one-time or re-curring role. (Think Jamie Lee Curtis’ two-episode performance on FX’s “The Bear” — a likely candidate.)
In looking back at early precursors, this award has quite a checkered past with numerous category name changes and head-scratching nominee groupings over the years. For example, in 1977, the bracket was called outstanding single appearance in a comedy or drama series. There was no separation by genre, so nominees included...

Blue Bloods fans are still devastated that CBS pulled the plug on the wildly popular primetime drama after almost 15 years.
The Friday night series is set to end at the end of 2024 after fourteen successful seasons. But, it looks like Blue Bloods may still live on and rumor has it there’s a spinoff in the works. Here’s what’s happening with the cancelled Blue Bloods series.

While there are many cable TV shows that have gone on far too long and need to end, there are some titles that are canceled too soon when there is still plenty of potential for the story to continue. That was the case with ABC's Station 19, and then again with CBS' Blue Bloods.
The #SaveBlueBloods campaign has spread like wildfire across the internet, with fans of the show spamming comments on the network's official accounts with the hashtag to get noticed. The stars of the show have also joined the effort, rooting for a renewal of their series.
And even though Blue Bloods is still set to end with season 14, there is now a very promising update that could change everything.

Blue Bloods might not be done yet. An extension of the popular CBS series might be in the works, a Paramount exec recently hinted.

The big Blue Bloods news came during a meeting for Paramount shareholders on June 4.
“We are building tomorrow’s billion-dollar brands right now,” Paramount Global co-ceo Brian Robbins said. “In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods, and CBS’ hit Fire Country shows huge promise.”
CBS has already announced that a Fire Country spinoff, titled Sheriff Country, will debut during the 2025-26 broadcast season, while a Dexter prequel is moving forward at Showtime. Billions spinoffs are also in development, sources told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023. But this is the first time a spinoff of Blue Bloods has been mentioned.

The end of Blue Bloods is almost upon us, but is it really the end of the beloved crime drama?
After S.W.A.T. was un-canceled earlier this year, Blue Bloods fans hoped there was a way forward for the long-running series.
Those hopes were dashed when the network confirmed last month that the back half of Blue Bloods Season 14 will 100% be the end for the show.
However, during Paramount’s annual stockholders meeting this week, we got our biggest indication that the franchise will not remain dormant for long.
According to TV Line, Paramount Global co-ceo Brian Robbins hinted a spinoff is in the works.
“In TV, new franchise extensions are coming for Dexter, Billions, and Blue Bloods,” the exec said.
CBS tends to keep beloved franchises alive with spinoffs
Spinoffs of popular CBS series aren’t a groundbreaking concept, with NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, and Criminal Minds: Evolution being some recent efforts.

A little over a year ago, Showtime announced that they were ordering a series – then known as Dexter: Origins, now known as Dexter: Original Sin – that would serve as a prequel series to their popular show Dexter, which finished its eight season initial run back in 2013, then recently came back for a new season (called Dexter: New Blood) that appeared to wrap things up for good… for the title character, anyway. Now they’re assembling the cast for Dexter: Original Sin, and The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Christina Milian (Falling Inn Love), James Martinez (Love Victor), Alex Shimizu (The Blacklist), and Reno Wilson (Mike & Molly) have all been cast as characters with names that will be familiar to Dexter fans.
Milian, Martinez, and Shimizu are all playing younger versions of characters that viewers have met before. As The Hollywood Reporter explains, “Milian will portray Maria Laguerta, the role previously portrayed by Lauren Velez.

Dexter: Original Sin is rounding out the ranks of Miami Metro.
James Martinez (Love Victor), Christina Milian (Falling Inn Love) and Alex Shimizu (The Blacklist) have been tapped to play younger versions of some of the key cops previously featured in the original Dexter, while Reno Wilson (Mike & Molly) will play a previously name-checked character that was never seen onscreen in the flagship series.
Originally ordered to series in February 2023 and titled Dexter: Origins, Original Sin is set in 1991 Miami and revolves around Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he goes from student to avenging serial killer. With guidance from his father, Harry (Christian Slater), Dexter adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people without being discovered by law enforcement at the same time as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
Martinez will take over the role of Angel Batista, played in the original series by David Zayas.

Of course we had to include the various wins from “American Horror Story.” The horror franchise’s various installments have thus far reaped victories for Kathy Bates as a hate-spewing witch and James Cromwell as a deranged Nazi doctor, plus Jessica Lange makes our list twice as both a murderous neighbor and a malicious sorceress.
Also making the list twice is Michael Emerson, who scared the pants off us as a serial killer in “The Practice” before making our skin crawl as the mysterious leader of the Others on “Lost.”
Another multiple-murderer to make the cut is John Lithgow for his terrifying guest role in “Dexter”.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s new six-part series that follows a desperate father in search of his missing son is now dominating Netflix’s global chart, topping even the hyped third season of Bridgerton. It proves people’s never-ending interest in chilling crime stories.
Here are 5 miniseries that are similar to Eric and available for streaming on Netflix too.
1. Safe (2018)
This British miniseries is reminiscent of Eric more than others, as it also follows a father who has his child vanished from home. The show is led by the Dexter star, Michael C. Hall, who portrays a widowed surgeon whose daughter is missing.
Just like Eric, it blends a dark mystery story, full of intrigue and deception, with deep psychological drama of the protagonist, who devotes himself entirely to searching for his closest person.

It's impossible to overstate the popularity of "It Chapter One" and "It Chapter Two," or how Bill Skarsgård's turn as the horrifying Pennywise the Clown has become the definitive portrayal for multiple generations. Based on the terrifying novel by Stephen King, "It" and Skarsgård's ability to move his eyes independently is most certainly responsible for increased levels of coulrophobia around the globe. The otherworldly creature known as It comes in many forms, but Pennywise the Clown is undoubtedly his most famous. Since arriving in the town of Derry, Maine, It has been devouring the citizens for hundreds of years, resting for 27 years between feeding cycles.

Although many of the TV series from the 2010s are still well-beloved and widely recognised as the blueprint of their respective genres, there are some that seem to be falling through the cracks. The earlier they have been released, the less people seem to remember about them, and, if not for some random article or recommendation, some of the greatest shows become forgotten.
One of the best things that can happen with a show like that is being acquired for streaming by one of the giant platforms. Netflix, now known to bring decades-old shows to renaissance after Scandal, is topping all the lists in that regard. And the next month’s pick for the 2010s show is one of the best the platform has ever seen.

10. Jack Shephard from Lost
Sometimes, in an attempt to give a character some personality flaws, writers outdo themselves and turn an initially likable character into an obnoxious one. Lost’s Jack Shephard is a prime example: while he’s supposed to be a hero, what he really is is a frustratingly entitled manchild who just can’t quit whining for the life of him.
9. Rita Bennett from Dexter
For many people, overly dramatic characters have always been a bane of any show they were in, and we totally get it. Dexter is great, but Rita Bennett’s whiny drama queen attitude was a real killjoy for many fans, and some even claim they were glad when Rita was “finally” killed off and they could keep enjoying the show without her.

Mit Christian Slater, Patrick Gibson und Molly Brown haben Paramount+ und Showtime jetzt die Hauptdarsteller der zehnteiligen Thrillerserie „Dexter: Original Sin“ bekannt gegeben.
Die Serie spielt 15 Jahre vor der Showtime-Serie „Dexter“, deren acht Staffel ab Herbst 2006 ausgestrahlt worden waren, und zeichnet den Weg der von Gibson verkörperten Titelfigur Dexter Morgan vom Studenten zum mordenden Forensiker des Miami Metro Police Department.
Schon als Student stellt Dexter einen blutrünstigen Drang fest, den er nicht weiter ignorieren kann. Unter der Aufsicht seines Adoptivvaters Harry (Christian Slater), der als Ermittler der Mordkommission arbeitet, übernimmt Dexter einen Kodex, der ihm helfen soll, Menschen zu finden und zu töten, ohne ins Visier der Strafverfolgungsbehörden zu geraten.

Christian Slater stars in a crime thriller series as the father of a mentally unwell young man who narrates his vigilante activities in a near-monotone voiceover.
Sounds familiar, right?
The Golden Globe-winning “Mr. Robot” star has signed on to Paramount+ with Showtime’s Dexter prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin” in a very similar role to the one he played on Mr. Robot. He’ll play Harry Morgan, Dexter’s adoptive father and a Miami homicide detective, the streaming service announced Thursday. James Remar played Harry in the original series.
“Shadow and Bone” actor Patrick Gibson will play Dexter Morgan, who in the prequel is beginning his career as a serial killer who kills other serial killers. He was played by Michael C. Hall in the original series. And “Senior Year” actress Molly Brown will play a young version of Dexter’s sister Debra Morgan, who was played in the original by Jennifer Carpenter.

A little over a year ago, Showtime announced that they were ordering a series – then known as Dexter: Origins, now known as Dexter: Original Sin – that would serve as a prequel series to their popular show Dexter, which finished its eight season initial run back in 2013, then recently came back for a new season (called Dexter: New Blood) that appeared to wrap things up for good… for the title character, anyway. Now Deadline reports that Patrick Gibson of Shadow and Bone has been cast to play a young Dexter Morgan in Dexter: Original Sin, with Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) joining him in the cast to play his dad, Harry Morgan, and Molly Brown (Senior Year) set to play Dexter’s younger sister, Debra Morgan.

Now, is this necessary? Showtime made it known in early 2023 that it wanted to expand its “Dexter” franchise with a sequel to 2021’s “Dexter: New Blood,” but this, pun fully intended, is overkill. Before that spinoff, another one arrives: “Dexter: Original Sin,” a ten-episode prequel series that centers on a young serial killer-in-training Dexter Morgan in early ’90s Miami. The series will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime.

When you think about shows that have gone off the rails, Riverdale, Dexter, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother, or Glee usually come to mind.
The majority of the time, it isn't enjoyable. The digression can make for poor television.
However, there are certain cases where it makes TV gold.

Keeping an audience interested and on the edge of their seats can be challenging.
We want to be enthralled, but that comes with the fact that doing this means changing plots, characters, or many other factors.
Going off the rails does not always have to be a negative thing.
Community, for example, started as a traditional sitcom, but its ever-evolving nature created a cult classic and a truly entertaining hit that never became stagnant.

When it debuted in 2006, Showtime's "Dexter" was a pay cable exclusive. The darkly comic show about a Florida blood spatter analyst who doubled as a serial killer was part of Showtime's push towards HBO-level original programming, a wave of great (or at least initially great) content that also included Jenji Kohen's suburban drug dealer dramedy "Weeds," the smutty historical drama "The Tudors," and controversial lesbian soap "The L Word."
Fast forward nearly two decades, and Showtime looks a lot different. The streamer is now bundled in with Paramount+, and has been awkwardly retitled Paramount+ with Showtime. The last great Showtime hit bearing the premium channel's original name was "Yellowjackets," the great cannibal high schooler series that will be back for its third season. Showtime may have gone through tons of changes in recent years, but if you're just now getting on board with "Dexter," there's no better time: the show...

Lock your doors and turn on your TVs, because Dexter Morgan is about to make a killing on Netflix.
The Emmy-winning series Dexter is set to begin streaming in the US on June 19, almost two decades after he first stalked our screens. Over eight seasons airing from 2006-2013, the Michael C. Hall–led crime drama was known for delivering unexpected performances, killer surprises, and a whole lot of blood. And calling it a “crime drama” alone doesn’t do Dexter justice, because it could also be described as a dark comedy, psychological thriller, mystery noir, and police procedural — like its main character and arresting opening credits, it contains multitudes. Dexter earned four Emmys over the course of its run, while Hall was a five-time nominee for his chilling and unforgettable performance as Dexter Morgan, a full-time forensic analyst and part-time murderer.

Fans of Dexter will agree that Jennifer Carpenter’s Debra Morgan deserved better than her tragic fate in the series.

Showtime has a tendency, even more so than most networks, to drag its shows on for way too long. From "Dexter" to "Weeds" to "Californication," their shows just can't quite seem to learn how to end on a high note. Whereas HBO tends to leave its audience wanting more, Showtime series stick around until the audience begs them to go away.

By season 11 it was in full zombie mode, with one of its leads gone with the wind and the others acting like shells of their former selves. Of course, not all of the latter seasons were terrible, just as not all of the early seasons were perfect. Here's our...

The lasting confrontation of the book lovers and the cinephiles doesn’t seem to come to a conclusion. However, some series based on the novels and on the games are known for objectively better elaboration of the source’s events and character development.
Here are 7 TV titles which surpass the material they were adapted from.
The Boys (2019 – …)
