The inaugural season of the Dynasty TV show reboot was The CW’s second-worst rated series in the demo. Numbers like the ones it earned might have seen it cancelled, but Netflix carries the show internationally, which makes it profitable regardless of its Nielsen ratings. Now that it is back for a second season, can this contemporary version of the 1980s primetime sudser cast a wider net and reel in some more viewers? Does it even have to? Will Dynasty be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A CW soap opera, Dynasty stars Grant Show, Alan Dale, Elizabeth Gillies, James Mackay, Sam Adegoke, Robert Christopher Riley, Rafael de la Fuente, Ana Brenda Contreras, Maddison Brown, and Nicollette Sheridan. The drama centers on the wealthy Carrington family and the energy empire they must defend against the Colbys and other adversaries, as well as each other. Blood is thicker than water, but whether it’s dearer than oil remains to be seen.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

**1/31/2019 Status Update: Dynasty has been renewed for season three on The CW. Details here.
I love this show please keep this show running i need to know what happened after Steven isn’t Divorcing Sam who was steven having dinner with and why is he not where he said he was
I love seven and sam please don’t cancel season 3!!! Of Dynasty
Love this show!! Need season 3!!!
Ratings going down as Netflix changing dates of episodes it’s says new episode every week then u need wait sometimes 3 weeks for release .thats what put me of the new DYNASTY
Love this show, hope the ratings stay up.
Why do us older viewers not counted I think people over 49 should be concidered.
I agree! Without Nathalie Kelley, who had tensions with her daughter-in-law and her husband’s ex, not to mention that she was leaving her husband and that Blake could have struggled to reconcile her, the show became bland. If all is put on Fallon and his conquests, Blake is no longer useless, Alexis either! I’m leaving the show in fact, because the new characters do not have the charisma and the level of tension that had between Nathalie and all others!
Monica you’re right! Without Nat Kelley, this show has no sense. New Cristal is a big-big liar bi tch, Blake an as shole
When it comes to CW, viewership isn’t a huge factor for renewals and cancelations. Netflix forked over a billion dollars and keeps CW running… It’s Netflix who most likely has the biggest input and they aren’t releasing numbers anytime soon.
I love the show. I wish the other Crystal didn’t leave.
Me too. I loved the tension between her and her husband, she was going to leave him and that would have meant that Blake was going to reconquer her. She had a unique charisma sometimes Angel sometimes a little devil. She had a very interesting relationship psychologically speaking with the other characters. The new “Christal” has no attachment, it is beautiful of course, but no more. The show focuses mainly on Fallon and his conquests, so: what’s the point of Blake and Alexis in this series? In my opinion, nothing more. Blake became a laughable character, easily manipulated and the… Read more »
They shouldn’t have changed Crystal… Nathalie and Elizabeth were holding this show together.. now without Natalie it’s impossible. Such a shame though
I think like you. What a pity they decided to change the story! This season 2 does not please me at all, I can not get attached to it. I think I’ll stop watching!
We love the show I hope it will stay on the air. Its so realistic with society today . typical Dynasty. When is Joan collins coming on and some of the other original Dynasty actors? You need to promote the show more. Dallas reboot was good I miss that show.
This show became really disgusting!!! Cristal didn’t get a funeral but Blake proposes this liar after a few days? repugnant!
The CW NEEDS TO ADVERTISE DYNASTY MORE!!! All their advertisements go to Riverdale
I love this show so much and there is a lot more character development especially for Steven who really didn’t have much to work with in the first season there is amazing acting PLSS watch dynasty and hopefully it can get renewed
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new DYNASTY!!!! In this world of such turmoil, this show is a fantasy for one hour a week that always puts a smile on my face! PLEASE don’t cancel the series!!! I’m 62!!
It’s needs to be cancelled. history does not have the same taste without Nathalie Kelley. I do not look anymore!
I agree. It has no sense without her! An Blake is a jerk now. Nobody respect Cristal’s death. Cancel the show now!
I agree! Without Nathalie Kelley, who had tensions with her daughter-in-law and her husband’s ex, not to mention that she was leaving her husband and that Blake could have struggled to reconcile her, the show became bland. If all is put on Fallon and his conquests, Blake is no longer useless, Alexis either! I’m leaving the show in fact, because the new characters do not have the charisma and the level of tension that had between Nathalie and all others!
It needs to be cancelled for sure!
This show is really pretty good. Lots of funny one liners!
How on eath is this show still on with the ratings it had in season 2? CW loves to hang on to their shows for more than it needs to
Agreed!
By removing Nathalie Kelley from the story and replacing her for a new, beautiful actress without charisma, CW has changed the story and the characters who no longer have the same tensions between them. Blake has become manipulable and nothing to do with the Blake season 1, the soap focuses only on Fallon and the rest is more than secondary. The series should be titled “The Life of Fallon Carrington”. There would be more than just
