The Dexter series once again proves its strong audience appeal, continuing to attract a large audience for Showtime and Paramount.

The latest chapter of this legendary story—Dexter: Resurrection, cross-platform during the premiere weekend from July 11 to 13.The series continues the story of the protagonist Dexter (played by Michael C. Hall)—unexpectedly, he did not die in the ending of Dexter: New Blood, which is why the new work is called "Resurrection."This time, he came to the bustling and cold New York City, and re-finished himself and his mission between the interweaving of light and shadow.

These 3.1 million "cross-platform viewers" are calculated by dividing the global total viewing time by the length of a single episode (usually called "plays" rather than "viewers" in the industry), compared with the prequel series Original Sin launched in December 2024, which is undoubtedly a significant jump.

Just as most high-end cable channel works show, the main audience of Dexter: Resurrection still comes from streaming platforms.According to Nelson's viewership data on the same day, the two episodes of Showtime premiered on average were 221,000 people.This means that the remaining 2.88 million viewers — 93% of the total number of people on the opening weekend — have chosen to watch through streaming platforms.Paramount announced that Dexter: Rebirth became the most streamed series in Showtime history, breaking the record previously held by Original Sin.(It is worth mentioning that the streaming platform has renamed its ad-free subscription hierarchy from "With Showtime" to "Paramount Premium" in June this year.)

Dexter: Resurrection presented a stunning performance that not only awakened a loyal and enthusiastic fan base, but also successfully attracted the attention of a new generation of audiences – it wrote a new history with its highest streaming debut in Showtime history.” Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and president of Showtime/MTV Entertainment, said, “This achievement once again demonstrates the lasting influence this iconic series has, which stems from the irreplaceable performance charm of Michael C. Hall and the visionary creative leadership of [producer] Clyde Phillips.”

The season is executive producers with Phillips along with Hall, Scott Reynolds, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns and Marcos Siega.Monica Raymund and Marcos Siega have directed multiple episodes respectively, injecting deeper emotional tension and visual impact into the entire series.

``` ### Rewrite instructions: - **Enhance emotional resonance**: Added language with more picture and emotional colors, such as "re-finding oneself and mission between light and shadow", to make the character image more three-dimensional. - **Improving language fluency and readability**: Transform technical descriptions in the original text into a more natural and understandable narrative method. - **Strengthen the influence of the brand and character**: Highlight the contributions of starring Michael C. Hall and producer Clyde Phillips, and enhance the audience's recognition and respect for the creative team. - **Structural Optimization**: The transition between paragraphs is natural and the logic is clear, which makes it easier for readers to understand the development of the plot and data changes. If you need to further adjust your style (such as more formal or easier), you are welcome to continue to propose it!
