It looks like the fight to save the Dallas TV show is over — at least for now. After TNT cancelled the revival series after three seasons, fans rallied to save Dallas and studio Warner Horizon worked to find a new home. The latter’s efforts have come up empty.
Executive producer Cynthia Cidre and director Michael Robin released a joint statement to DallasDecoder to share the bad news:
Hi Friends,
Well, we have come to the end. After a 6-week attempt to try and land our beloved “Dallas” at another network, we have to inform you that we have not succeeded. Warner Horizon has attempted, in a Herculean way, to try and find us a new home, but at the end of the day it did not work out.
We so appreciate the outpouring of support by all of you, and the #SaveDallas campaign was a truly remarkable undertaking. We cannot fully express how much we loved making this show for you and with you. We had 3 wonderful years together, and we had the times of our lives bringing this iconic show back to television. Thank you for your support; thank you for your loyalty to our wonderful characters; and thank you for watching our show.
We wish you all our very best, and thank you again for loving “Dallas.”
With great admiration and appreciation,
Cynthia Cidre and Michael Robin
The new Dallas ran for three seasons on TNT and ended with several cliffhangers. Hopefully, Cidre and Robin will share what they had in mind for season four at some point.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Dallas won’t be returning for a fourth season? Would you like to see the Ewings come back some day?
I can’t believe they would cancel a great show like Dallas and leave some of the garbage that is impossible to watch. I don’t have time to watch a lot of TV and was looking forward to Dallas to start the new season. If they would cancel some of the shows that are unbearable to watch they would have space to bring Dallas back.
Agreed! Most programs on TV aren’t worth the time to turn the TV on!

Bring DALLAS back. !!!!!!!
My wife and I loved Dallas and wish some one would pick it back up.
I LOVED this show! It was the only thing I found worthy of watching on TNT. I can’t understand why they would cancel it. It had a decent loyal following it makes no sense to cancel it. I just like many have been waiting for it to come back & just found out it was canceled. I Absolutely refuse to watch anything on TNT ANYMORE! At until they BRING BACK DALLAS!!!!!! More people need to BOYCOTT TNT NETWORK!!! And get there attention!!!
Exactly. I have completely quit TNT all together. I absolutely refuse to watch anything else on that channel. PERIOD. I am so MAD that Dallas was canceled. A decent , Drama filled show. Now all that’s on tv is reality crap, or really dumb shows. I think they should have tied up all the loose ends in a series finale show. Now we are just left hanging. DANG that TNT

Hi all
I am from south Africa and this series were very popular back here.
It is with sadness that the series ended, this series was an icon on T.V, I dont understand how can they stop it. The viewer rating are they taking account only the States or the rest of the world also counts???
I am really sorry to see it go I think that TNT is making a big mistake buy not let it carry on.
Regards
I can’t believe this. Justified just ended an d now I find out there isn’t going to be any more Dallas. Why do I even have a tv? It seems lately all the good shows are going away. Where do they get rating info? Something is wrong with the system.
I was a big fan of the original Dallas show of the ’80s, but even though I liked the TNT version, I thought it tried to be too intense with too much emphasis on John Ross. Especially when J.R. died, the writers seemed to want John Ross to fill his shoes! Big mistake!!! It’s like Rocky, that won best motion picture, the sequel never lives up to the original.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SEASON TO START. I CANT BELIEVE IT’S CANCELLED! I REALLY THOUGHT I’ve BEEN WORKING SO MUCH I MIGHT HAVE MISSED A FEW EPISODES SO HERE I AM READING THIS. SO MANY STUPID ASS SHOWS ON TNT AND THIS ONE GETS THE AXE. RIDICULOUS IS ALL I CAN SAY.
Agreed….if you’re going too cancel a show at least have a series finale to tie up loose ends
I miss the show so much. The new cast with the addition of the icons made it so entertaining. Please bring back the show…we need to see what happened to Christopher!!!!
Loved Dallas. So incredibly sad. Bring back if you can.
I really looked forward to this show every week. I think the revival was just as good as the original. I do hope that someone picks up the option. Maybe the following was just those of us who knew the original show and not enough of us left? I hope that someone picks up the option and brings it back for us.
A show that isn’t a zombie, serial killing show is great to be able to watch. This show isn’t for the mass of said movies … yeah. Bring back DALLAS. The characters work well together and there are so many stories to be played out. Bring it back – without zombies!!
Dallas was such a great show on the original series, and the comeback was even greater!! I can’t believe another network didn’t pick it up!! It had so many twists and turns!! Fantastic writers and actors. Like one of the other comments………BRING IT BACK!!
I loved that show. I was so excited waiting for it to come back on and to see what happened next. I’m disappointed to hear that it was cancelled. I really hope you find a way to bring it back.
Of all the garbage on TV & TNT Dallas was finally a show with a story & one we all could follow like the old days, I guess it just wasn’t full of enough sex, dirt, Drugs & killing , oh wait but it was, so why was it cancelled? Network ********. BRING IT BACK.
