Dynasty Reboot in the Works at The CW

BURBANK: The CW is developing a modernized reboot of the iconic prime-time soap Dynasty.

The project, which is in the development/script stage at the network, counts among its executive producers and writers Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Esther Shapiro and Richard Shapiro, the creators of the original Dynasty, are also on board.

Produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Fake Empire, the series follows two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children. The show 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.
