History Trivia / Dynasty2017

* LateExportForYou: Unlike season 1 & 2, Netflix [[{{ScrewedByTheNetwork}} no longer release new episodes weekly]] for international audience from season 3 onwards. This is due to CW-Netflix deal expired, which also effected BlackLighting. Oddly this never happened to Riverdale.

** Creator/SamAdegoke, who plays Jeff, is Nigerian.

** Creator/JamesMackay, who plays Steven, is Australian.

* CastingGag: Grant Show, who plays Blake, is a veteran of primetime soaps like this one. The casting of [[spoiler: Creator/NicolletteSheridan as Alexis also counts as this; before she lived in [[Series/DesperateHousewives Wisteria Lane]] she was a regular on ''Series/{{Dallas}}'' spinoff ''Series/KnotsLanding'']].

* ActorAllusion: Jeff complains about Alexis (now played by Elaine Hendrix) putting him and Adam together on a caper with "did you really think you could ''Parent Trap'' us into liking each other?" Alexis claims to have no idea what that is. Hendrix starred in ''Film/TheParentTrap1998''.
* ActorSharedBackground: Michael Michele is biracial, much like her character Dominique.
* TheCastShowoff: Did you really think Creator/ElizabethGillies wasn't going to get a chance to show off her pipes? She does some singing in "[[ChristmasEpisode Rotten Things]]", when Thomas Carrington insists on the tradition of Steven and Fallon performing carols, and again when they're practicing a ballad for [[spoiler: Thomas' funeral, as per a request in his will]], then again in the Season Two premiere. The Christmas episode also gives Nathalie Kelley a chance to show off some pretty nifty footwork.
