How to watch Dexter in the UK – stream all 8 seasons

KEEN to revisit the blood-splattered cult TV classic that is Dexter?

In this article, we’ll talk you through how to watch Dexter in the UK – there’s more than one streaming option available.

The hit Showtime drama follows blood analyst Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), an ostensibly ordinary guy from Miami who – unbeknown to his colleagues, friends and family – is also a serial killer.

However, rather than kill innocent victims, Dexter channels his dark impulses towards murderers, criminals and wrongdoers who slip through the justice system.

The cult show ran for eight gripping, gruesome seasons between 2006 and 2013 (and briefly returned with Dexter: First Blood in 2021).

The entire show (except for First Blood) is available via online streaming, so if you want to revisit Dexter (and hey, maybe give that Season 8 finale a second chance), read on to find out how.

How to watch Dexter in the UK with a VPN

If you download a VPN, you can stream Dexter on the Netherlands-based streaming site NPO Plus.

This typically costs €2.95 per month, but there’s a one-month trial period to take advantage of.

Firstly, you’ll need to download a VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN to your streaming device.

Then, you’ll need to load the VPN on that device, and select a Netherlands-based server.

After that, you just need to head to the Dexter page on the NPO website, hit play, sit back and enjoy!

How to watch Dexter on Amazon Prime Video

Another option is to stream Dexter on Amazon Prime Video – you’ll find all eight seasons are available on Amazon’s on-demand platform.

Prime costs £8.99 per month, or £95 for a year – but it also comes with a 30-day free trial period.

On top of that, you also get all the other various perks that are included with Prime membership, like next-day and same-day deliveries.

Is Dexter still on Netflix UK?

Sadly not. If you’re a Netflix subscriber, unfortunately Dexter is not available on that platform.

All eight seasons of Dexter did use to be available to watch on Netflix UK, but they were removed in 2018 and haven’t reappeared since.

So if you wish to stream the show, we advise that you either sign up to Amazon Prime (there’s always that 30-day free trial period) or go throughout we suggest earlier in this article by downloading a VPN.
