Showtime is expanding its franchises with a “Dexter” prequel series and multiple “Billions” spinoffs in the works.
Alongside the currently titled “Dexter: Origins” series, the network announced that “Billions: Miami,” “Billions: London,” “Millions” and “Trillions” are all in the works at the network as part of an effort to build up Showtime’s franchise strategy.
“Dexter: Origins” will follow a young Dexter Morgan as he transitions into the notorious serial killer he would eventually become with Clyde Phillips attached to executive produce. Set in Miami, young Dexter will encounter the younger version of staple “Dexter” characters, while also focusing on his familial relationships.
