CW’s Dynasty being renewed for Season 5 was a joyous news that we came across in 2021; however, 2022 struck us with disappointment when it was announced as the series last season.
A modern take on the Carrington family and their rivalry with the Colbys was precisely what we needed to binge-watch in our comparatively dull lives. Power, wealth, betrayal, and all that drama were exactly the entertainment and excitement we needed.
