CW Exec Confirms Dynasty Season 2 Will Do A Cristal Swap

Posted by at 11:41 am on August 6, 2018

CW president Mark Pedowitz announced Monday at the Television Critics Assoc. summer press tour that Nathalie Kelley will not be returning as Cristal in Season 2 of the network’s Dynasty reboot, as the character will succumb to the injuries she sustained in the Season 1 finale. However, in a twist, Ana-Brenda Contreras is joining the cast as… “the real Cristal.”

Pedowitz said the decision to recast the pivotal character was creatively driven, adding that it was made midway through the first season. “it’s a wild soap,” Pedowitz said of the twist. “These are things you do on a soap.”

The departure of Cristal No. 1 was spoiled by now-former cast member Kelley, who revealed in June that “I won’t be returning for Season 2.” (In the Season 1 finale, Cristal was shot in the belly and trapped in a raging inferno.)

Dynasty is scheduled to kick off Season 2 on Friday, Oct. 12 at 8/7c.
