Dynasty
Stay rich or lie trying.
Created by Sallie Patrick, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage
On The CW
A campy, high-energy soap opera centered on wealth, family feuds, and romantic entanglement, built on melodrama and visual spectacle rather than introspection.
Follows two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children focusing on Fallon Carrington, the 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.
