A ''Dynasty'' reboot is in the pipeline and there is a possibility that Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, last known for their work in ''Gossip Girl'' will be back for this epic as well. Sallie Patrick will handle the reigns as the show runner of the ambitious project.
However, the show is not just about the new star cast. The makers are retaining a bit of old too. Esther and Richard Shapiro, who worked as the creators of the original show have confirmed working on the reboot version as well.
There is excitement surrounding the new cast, Blasting News reports. One reason why this is happening is because the cast is extremely diverse as compared to the original. Fallon Carrington will be one of the key characters in the reboot version.
The plot of the series will focus on rivalry between Carringtons and Colbys. It all starts with Fallon getting a step-mother as Blake Carrington chooses to marry a Hispanic woman named Cristal. For those who have followed the original series, the plot will pretty much remain the same with the dosage of suspense and drama going higher.
The ''Dynasty'' reboot will focus on showing the corrupt world created by the dynastic monopoly highlighting everything from a simple betrayal to outright murder. Originally launched in 1981, the show still enjoys a loyal fan following.
When it was launched in 1981, the show lasted for 200 episodes which is nine seasons. It would be interesting to see the reboot version live up to the expectations of the original.
From the looks of it, CW seems to prefer to adapt old series and present it as their new shows. Their recently developed properties include Riverdale, Archie, Josie and the Pussycats and many more such interesting dramas.
In a related development, Ottawa Sun has reported that 'The Vampire Diaries' star Nathalie Kelley will lead the ''Dynasty'' revamp. Not just ''Dynasty'', another show that the channel is working to renew is ''Searchers''. In ''Searchers'', the plot will focus on brother-sister duo in search of the supernatural elements.
