A new Netflix docuseries tells the story of a family dynasty far more dramatic than that of any ’80s primetime soap. Dynasty: The Murdochs, debuting on Friday, March 13, is a four-part documentary piecing apart the complicated legacy of Rupert Murdoch, his children, and the media empire they control.
Netflix says that Dynasty: The Murdochs, directed by Liz Garbus and Sara Enright, “offers an unprecedented look at one of the world’s most powerful families” and “poses the ultimate question: Is a dynasty a family or a business?”
