Berrenger's is an American prime-time soap opera television series created by Diana Gould[1][2][3] that aired on NBC from January 5 to March 9, 1985. The series revolved around the Berrenger family, a New York dynasty which owned the glamorous department store which bore their name.[4]

Following in the tradition of Dynasty and Dallas, Berrenger's played up to the familiar motifs of 1980s soap operas – glamorous and beautiful characters, using money and power in games of love, business and betrayal.

After nearly 3 months on the air, the series was cancelled due to poor ratings, leaving one episode unaired.
