Dynasty: The Reunion

Dynasty: The Reunion is a 1991 miniseries reuniting the characters from the American prime time television soap opera Dynasty, a series which aired on ABC from 1981 to 1989 and was the highest-rated U.S. series in 1985. The miniseries continues the story of the Carringtons, a wealthy oil family living in Denver, Colorado. Directed by Irving J. Moore, the four-hour Dynasty: The Reunion was first broadcast in the U.S. in two parts on October 20 and October 22, 1991. Dynasty's cancellation had left its ninth season finale unresolved and characters in mortal peril; original cast member John... Forsythe later noted, "The way we were cut off was a disgrace." Executive Producer Aaron Spelling said during production of Dynasty: The Reunion that "Beethoven can leave a symphony unfinished We didn't think we could do that with a soap opera." Eager to give the series proper closure, the cast agreed to come back "at slightly reduced salaries" and production relied on location shoots rather than the expensive sets of its heyday.
