Dynasty has taken an important step closer to an official series reboot, with a CW pilot order.
EW reports:
The new version from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl) is described as “a modernized reboot that follows two of America’s wealthiest families — the Carringtons and the Colbys — as they feud for control over their fortune and their children.” Original series creators Esther and Richard Shapiro are also on board.
[..] The CW edition “will be told primarily through the perspectives of two women at odds: Fallon Carrington — daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington — and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal — a Hispanic woman marrying into this WASP family and America’s most powerful class. In an age where dynasties appear everywhere — from reality TV to the polling booths — this epic drama features the one percent in all its glitz and gloss, while exposing the dark underbelly: a corrupt world built on backroom deals, betrayal, and, in some cases … murder.”
The original Dynasty survived nine seasons and 220 episodes before termination.
Is this the start of a new Dynasty for soap opera and The CW? Stay tuned as we monitor the rebirth…
