The series 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.
The reboot stars Grant Show, Elizabeth Gillies, Nathalie Kelley, James Mackay, Alan Dale, Sam Adegoke, Robert Christopher Riley and Rafael de la Fuente).
From CBS Television Studios in association with Fake Empire, with executive producers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Sallie Patrick, Esther and Richard Shapiro – the creators of the original “Dynasty” – and Brad Silberling.
There’s no word yet on how many episodes “Dynasty’s” first season will run for. This marks CW’s first new series pickup of the season, though it has renewed nearly all of its returning series. Earlier, The CW canceled freshman dramas “No Tomorrow” and “Frequency.” “The Originals” and “iZombie” still remain in limbo in terms of renewal or cancellation.
