"Titans" was an American primetime soap opera that debuted on October 4, 2000 on NBC. Thirteen episodes were filmed, of which eleven were actually aired.

The series, from Aaron Spelling, was initially marketed as a "Dynasty" for the new millennium", attempting to emulate the style of Spelling's earlier hit series. However, low ratings led NBC to cancel the series before its first season was completed.

The theme for the series was "6 Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps.

ynopsis

Heather (Yasmine Bleeth) was engaged to marry Richard Williams (Perry King), owner of a successful aviation business, but Richard was unaware that Heather previously had an affair with his son, Chandler (Casper Van Dien).

Chandler, a pilot, was unsure whether he should tell his father about his previous affair with Heather, but then Chandler discovered that Heather was pregnant with Chandler's child.

After Heather married Richard, Heather and Chandler resumed their sexual relationship; but Chandler's brother, Peter (John Barrowman), and the butler discovered their affair.

Conflict also occurred between Heather and Richard's former wife Gwen (Victoria Principal), who lived in a mansion across the road.
