About Dynasty
Dynasty covers two separate continuities: the ABC original about the Carrington oil family of Denver, which ran from January 12, 1981 to May 11, 1989, and The CW reboot about the Carringtons of Atlanta, which ran from October 11, 2017 to September 16, 2022.
This guide lists the original series, its spinoff The Colbys, and the 1991 reunion miniseries first, then the five-season reboot, since the two versions share names and premises but not storylines.
Good to know
The Colbys aired on ABC from November 20, 1985 to March 26, 1987, overlapping Dynasty seasons 6 and 7, and Dynasty: The Reunion aired in two parts on October 20 and 22, 1991. No new Dynasty project has been announced as of 2026-09-17.
