Get ready for a deep dive into one of the world's most influential and controversial families. Netflix is set to release a new four-part documentary series titled Dynasty: The Murdochs, premiering globally on Friday, March 13, 2026. This highly anticipated project aims to pull back the curtain on Rupert Murdoch's sprawling media empire and the intricate, often dramatic, dynamics within his family.

The docuseries, which has been compared to the real-world inspiration behind HBO's hit show Succession, will explore Rupert Murdoch's ascent, the decades-long tensions between him, his chosen heir Lachlan Murdoch, and his other adult children – James Murdoch, Elisabeth Murdoch, and Prudence MacLeod. It will also recount significant events such as the Nevada court battle over the family trust, the rise of Fox News, and the infamous News of the World hacking scandal.

Directed primarily by acclaimed documentarian Liz Garbus, with Sara Enright co-directing the final episode, Dynasty: The Murdochs was produced by Story Syndicate. While no members of the Murdoch family participated in the series, it features interviews with prominent journalists who have extensively covered the dynasty, including Jim Rutenberg, Jonathan Mahler, McKay Coppins, and Kara Swisher. Former Fox News employees Alisyn Camerota and David Shuster also provide insights.
