Overview[]
Dynasty premiered on The CW in the United States on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, with the season two premiere of Riverdale as its lead-in. The series moved to Fridays starting with the fourteenth episode. Season two began airing on October 12, 2018, and season three premiered on October 11, 2019. Season four premiered on May 7, 2021, and season five premiered on December 20, 2021. The final episode aired on September 16, 2022. Each full season is released on Netflix in the US several days after the season finale airs.
Mark Pedowitz, chairman and CEO of The CW, said in January 2018, "I'm disappointed in the ratings, I wanted it to do more, but I'm happy with the production values that Josh, Steph, and Sallie are doing. There are changes coming, I'm thrilled to have Nicollette [Sheridan] ... I'm looking forward to Nicollette and Liz [Gillies] really going at it as a mother-daughter situation, and I think that will add some juice to the show."[1]
In 2022, executive producer Josh Reims admitted that, due to the international success of Dynasty on Netflix, "there was literally no discussion about the ratings ever, which is great." Regarding The CW's marketing of Dynasty, "I don't think it mattered. I think people were just waiting for it to drop on Netflix. Online, people were asking when's the show starting on Netflix. So it felt like by season three, at least there was already a built-in audience."[2]
