As Netflix’s ever-evolving library offers a rotating selection of new shows and movies each month, it also bids farewell to some licensed content. This month, the popular series Dexter made its exit from the platform.
Dexter follows the story of Michael C. Hall’s character, who leads a double life. By day, he works for the police in the forensic department, but by night, he takes justice into his own hands by hunting and dispatching serial killers who have evaded legal consequences. The series is known for its controversial ending among viewers.
Netflix US bid adieu to Dexter on June 18, 2025, but fans can now catch the show on Paramount+ with a complimentary seven-day trial. For those hesitant to add another streaming service to their lineup, there’s still a way to enjoy Dexter on Netflix.
How to watch Dexter on Netflix UK from the US
While all eight seasons of Dexter remain available for streaming in the UK, viewers outside the country can utilize a VPN to access the British Netflix library from any location, including the US.
VPNs work by rerouting your IP address through servers worldwide. By connecting to a UK server, you can trick the Netflix platform into thinking you’re based in the UK rather than the US.
We have successfully used NordVPN to access various Netflix libraries worldwide. NordVPN offers multiple servers and cost-effective long-term plans. Explore more VPN options in our list of top VPNs for streaming.
VPNs also unlock access to exclusive UK streaming platforms like BBC iPlayer and Channel 4.
Once you’ve subscribed to a VPN service and installed it, follow these steps:
- Time to complete: 5 minutes
- Tools required: Laptop or PC, VPN

Netflix may block VPNs at times, but you can overcome this by switching to a different server or trying again after a few hours
