The Colbys
The Colbys is an American prime time soap opera that originally aired on ABC from November 20, 1985, to March 26, 1987. Produced by Aaron Spelling, it was a spin-off of Dynasty, which had been the highest-rated series for the 1984–1985 U.S. television season. The Colbys centered on another wealthy, upper-class family, who were distant relatives of the Carringtons from Dynasty and who owned a large multinational corporation. Intended to surpass its predecessor in opulence, the series was given an extremely high budget for the era and featured several well-known movie stars in leading roles, including Charlton Heston, Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Ross, and Ricardo Montalban. However, The Colbys was ultimately a ratings disappointment and was canceled after two seasons.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
