Fans beg for early Dexter: Resurrection finale release, as it gets leaked online 

Spoiler alert, but not from us! The Dexter: Resurrection finale (Episode 10) has leaked online a week prior to its proper release, and fans are losing it in the best way possible. There is panic, excitement, and a shared scream of demand on social media addressed to Paramount+ and Showtime: just release that episode early so we can binge it, spoiler-free.

Old school Dexter fans (don't forget the classic lumberjack finale of 2013) are waving flags and hashtags in hopes of being redeemed this time. Now we will plunge into the massacre, the hysterics of the fandom, and the probable nonchalant attitude of the networks. Let us explore the frenzy, the fandom hysteria, and the probable nonchalant attitude of the networks.

The leak that tore the internet

Just think you are all ready to watch a blazing season finale, and someone spoils it before you even press play. This is exactly what happened. It has been reported that the 10th episode of Dexter: Resurrection leaked on the internet in Russian dub, with spoil-inducing screenshots and video clips circulating on social media platforms.

The fans who so eagerly looked forward to watching the finale themselves, having already rewatched the previous episodes and speculated theories, had just been caught scrambling to shun all spoilers around them. The early leak of the Dexter: Resurrection finale has elicited a huge fan response because, we all know, there is nothing like ruining the entire suspense and excitement of the viewing experience.

The audience is divided between those who want to know everything about the episode and spoil it for themselves before the release, and those who just want to steer clear of all details and information on the finale and wait till it hits the screens.

Fans begging for an early release of the Dexter: Resurrection Episode 10

The spoiler-averse fans are pushing back with a vehemence that can be felt industry-wide; they are desperately urging Showtime and Paramount+ to reverse the order and air the Dexter: Resurrection finale early. Their argument? Once it is out there, the release date may as well be controlled and rescheduled, rather than letting leaks full of spoilers shape the story.

It is not mere wishful thinking, as some are already citing examples from the past where networks refused to flex schedules even in the face of leaks (such as the case of The Last of Us finale).

Up to this point, the networks have not announced any change in plans and are standing by their original release date. But who knows, stranger things have occurred across the history of the streaming age, and viewers are hoping that this might be one of those (far-fetched but still a possibility) exceptions.

Fallout and what’s at stake

In addition to Dexter: Resurrection's release drama, there is the leaked ending that allegedly discloses the demise of the popular character, Angel Batista, portrayed by David Zayas: a gut-punch twist for longtime fans who have been watching him since the first Dexter series.

It is not just a drastic turn in the series but a significant emotional shake-up for the franchise as well, altering the way fans expect Dexter to proceed with his character development. It is not that the leak is just ruining a big moment, it is also threatening to tear the whole suspense to shreds. The speculation of the death of Batista now considered around the globe, means that the final episode of Dexter: Resurrection will be viewed in a different emotional manner by viewers once it finally airs.
