Top 10 US Shows Dynasty (2017) Fans Should Watch Next

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.

Here, we compile for you the top 10 US TV shows that are on a similar level to Dynasty and will engage you guys.
