The 1991 two-part event--Dynasty: The Reunion--reunited the characters from the hit American prime time television soap Dynasty, a series which aired from 1981 to 1989.

The original series finale of Dynasty, broadcast in May 1989, had left oil tycoon Blake Carrington shot by a corrupt policeman, his beloved wife Krystle in an off-screen coma and his conniving ex-wife Alexis Colby plunging from a balcony. Dynasty: The Reunion picks up two years later as Blake--having survived the shooting but then convicted for the death of his attacker--is pardoned and released from prison.
