Dexter will be leaving Netflix on June 19, 2025, much to the disappointment of its fans. The series has amassed a massive following, with many viewers repeatedly indulging in its episodes. Additionally, several new viewers have recently started binge-watching the show on Netflix.
The news has sparked frustration among fans, some of whom voiced their dismay on X. One user expressed, Why does Netflix always have to remove the good stuff and leave the sh*t stuff behind.
Another commented, Netflix always ruins everything, man. I just started watching Dexter, and it’s leaving tomorrow.
Clearly, many subscribers are upset about this decision.
Netflix typically licenses hugely popular TV shows and movies from their original owners. Once these licensing agreements expire, and if Netflix either declines or fails to renew them, the content is removed from its catalog. While no official explanation has been provided regarding Dexter’s removal, many believe the licensing deal has simply ended.
While fans in the U.S. are disappointed, viewers in the United Kingdom and Canada are somewhat relieved, as the licensing agreement between Netflix and Showtime lasts until March 31, 2026, in those regions.
Where Can I Watch Dexter After It Leaves Netflix?
As Showtime produces Dexter, the main streaming platform to watch the series is Paramount+ with Showtime. To access the full series, you need an active subscription, which comes at a monthly cost of $12.99, including a 7-day free trial starting from the day you sign up.
International viewers may need to use a VPN to stream Showtime and Paramount+ content not available in their region.
Besides Paramount+, Dexter is also available on Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu. However, watching it on Amazon Prime and Hulu requires adding Showtime’s channel for an additional $12.99 per month. On Apple TV+, episodes are available for purchase at $2.99 each, or $3.99 for HD versions.
