List of Dynasty (2017 TV series) characters

''Dynasty'' is a 2017–2022 American television series based on the 1980s prime time soap opera of the same name.

In season one, heiress Fallon Carrington (Elizabeth Gillies) is unhappy to find her billionaire father Blake (Grant Show) engaged to Cristal Flores (Nathalie Kelley), a rival employee at the family company. When Fallon's machinations to separate the couple backfire and cost her a promotion, she allies with Blake's nemesis, Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke), and strikes out on her own. Meanwhile, the arrival of Cristal's opportunistic nephew Sam (Rafael de la Fuente)—who becomes romantically involved with Fallon's wayward brother Steven (James Mackay)—threatens to expose Cristal's shady past. Watching out for the Carringtons are majordomo Anders (Alan Dale) and chauffeur Michael Culhane (Robert Christopher Riley). Later in the season, Fallon marries Liam Ridley (Adam Huber) to thwart Jeff's plot to ruin her, and Blake's ex-wife Alexis Carrington (Nicollette Sheridan), the estranged mother of Steven and Fallon, returns. Season two introduces Ana Brenda Contreras as Cristal Jennings; Maddison Brown as Anders' daughter Kirby; Sam Underwood as Adam Carrington, Blake and Alexis' eldest son; and Michael Michele as Dominique Deveraux, Blake's half-sister and the mother of Jeff and Monica Colby (Wakeema Hollis). In season three, Daniella Alonso portrays Cristal, and Elaine Hendrix plays Alexis. Season four introduces Eliza Bennett as Alexis' secret daughter by Blake, Amanda.

The reboot updates several elements from the 1980s original, including moving the setting from Denver, Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia; making Steven's homosexuality a nonissue to Blake; and changing gold digger Sammy Jo from a woman to a gay man. Additionally, in the new series, Blake's new wife and her nephew are Hispanic, both Michael and the Colby family are African-American, and Amanda is a lesbian. Provided by Wikipedia
