The CW to remake Dynasty

The CW is set to reboot 80’s series “Dynasty”.

The script is currently in development from CBS Television Studios in association with Fake Empire. Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Sallie Patrick are exec producers and writers. Original “Dynasty” creators Esther Shapiro and Richard Shapiro will also exec produce the reboot.

The Rolls Royce of all primetime soaps, returns in 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. 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 — 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.
