Though no one ever said that TV announcements are meant to last forever — okay somebody might have said those words together before, but not as an absolute truth — one does expect networks and streaming services to hold up their end of a season renewal. Dexter: Original Sin’s cast and crew learned that the hard way when the spinoff was canceled without warning by Paramount+, a turn of events that hasn’t stopped bumming me out since it happened.
Several of Original Sin’s cast members quickly shared disappointed reactions on social media, including co-star Alex Shimuzu, who portrays the often perverse and often giggling forensic analyst Vince Masuka (portrayed in the OG series by CS Lee). Though his initial reaction was as subdued as one might expect, his follow-up post on TikTok is enough to get me dancing even through my disappointment.
