‘Dynasty’ Trailer: It’s a War Between Wealthy Families in CW Reboot — "Dynasty"
The CW

Oh sure, rich people may get tax breaks and spa days, chauffeurs and designer duds, but none of that means anything if a rival rich family is allowed to prosper in peace.

The CW’s new series “Dynasty” takes that classic ‘80s primetime soap and updates it for the modern era. Sorry, but that means no linebacker-worthy shoulder pads or feathered hair. But there are still cat fights!

According to the longline, “Dynasty” “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.”
