Dynasty (2017)

Although the reboot managed to tie up the majority of its loose ends via a makeshift series finale, showrunner Josh Reims was disappointed that the Carringtons’ story wouldn’t continue in a sixth season — and he knew exactly what that would have entailed.

“We would have seen more of the same, and that was why we ended the finale as we did, with everybody back to bickering and fighting for power,” he told TVLine. “We wanted to show that the more things change, the more the stay the same. Although they’re all in better places, deep down, they’re still the same people who want to be conniving and backstabbing and scheming.”

One specific plan was to keep Culhane in the fold, despite Robert Christopher Riley’s character leaving town in the finale. “We probably would have moved Culhane to Los Angeles, but we’d have him come back and forth,” Reims said. “We loved the Sam-Culhane relationship, so we would have found a way to keep them working together. It would have been a different feel, of course. All of the characters are maturing and getting married.”
