Dynasty, the CW’s reboot of the beloved ABC sudser from the ’80s, came to an end Friday night after five seasons. Here, showrunner Josh Reims talks about what he really wanted to do in …

wanted to do in the series finale, and how odd it was that ratings for the sudser were nevere actually planned a series finale and a season finale, just in case. We did twice the work, basically.That came up near the end. For some reason we kept ending seasons with weddings and we thought it would be fun to do it again. We figured Culhane and Nina were the best couple to do it, and we liked the idea of playing around and having viewers think it was Sam and Steven , at first.

Uh, no. As far as I know, this was the final goodbye to Dynasty, which is why we gave everybody happy endings they deserved., were attached from the beginning. How involved were they over the course of the show?I took over running the show in season three and sat down, I think twice, with Esther Shapiro. I had lunch with her a couple of times and we talked about the show and she gave me her thoughts. She was very complimentary and very much like, you know? Do what you think is best.

story! I had resisted doing it for a while, and then for some reason this season I was like, yeah, let’s do it. It turned out to be really fun. I liked doing the episodes where we tried different things, like where Liz [] could sing, because she loved to do that. There weren’t a lot of limits on what we could do. I could say, ‘I wanna do a noir episode’ and they would say, ‘sure, go ahead.’ I took advantage of that.

All Rights Reserved.In the finale, Steven returned. There was a lot of discussion in the room whether Steven should kill Adam or let him go. I wanted him to kill him, but it felt not quite right with the tone of the show.

Ratings-wise, this show didn’t do so well for the CW. But Netflix really made a difference for the series. What was that like for you?It’s funny because it’s the first show I’ve ever been on or where there was literally no discussion about the ratings ever, which was great. In season two, we shot in Paris and some of the actors came back and said it was crazy because people showed up to the set and recognized them on the streets.
