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 am SO PISSED that this WONDERFUL tv series is canceled. What IDIOT at TNT made this decision? I mean You could have at least tied everything up and ended the series in a better way. And to cancel it when it was getting so good! JR would have been proud of how his son was taking care of the family in his place. This cancellation GUARANTEES that I will NEVER EVER EVER watch any program on the TNT network! Unless they bring back my fav. show! This makes me never want to watch any new program on any network… Read more »
I heard about this several weeks ago, but just came across this outpouring of disappointment about the cancellation and thought I would add my own. I live in Dallas and have since just a couple of years before they started the original series. Yes, it was a little over the top from time to time (especially for those of us who live here), but it still – somehow – captured much of the excitement and pride that the city was experiencing in those days. It was kind of a “coming out” era for Dallas, and the timing of the show… Read more »
Love the show. We were so looking forward to the 4th season. It was very exciting to watch each week with the twists and turns. Boo Whoo! My friends and I will miss Dallas.

The Dallas revival was the cleverest and best written series I ever saw. Keep trying to bring it back. I know so many that love it. The blending of the old cast with the new cast was seamless!
Very very sad that they are not bringing it back for a fourth season
I was quite skeptical of a revival of Dallas and almost didn’t get involved, fearing a big disappointment. But, WOW! This is the most brilliant come-back show, or beyond that, most brilliant show ever. I, who had been a fan through the original Dallas, looked forward to each episode of the new Dallas. I was always mystified by its creativity to blend today with yesterday’s Dallas. Starting the show with the same theme song and opening frames, perfect. New and different leading roles. I am shocked of its cancellation and angered enough to totally ban TNT from my viewership.
this is shocking! I too was looking to see when the new season was gonna start!
I was on the mailing list for Dallas and still had no idea.
Dallas was one of the best shows on TV. I loved how they brought it back; I was an avid fan during its first run.
This really reallly SUCKS!
It is a real disappointment that the show was cancelled. It was a had so much going for it. I’m sad that TNT cancelled this show. I hope some station will pick-up again.
it is to bad the show wont be back on .it was nice to the youer goup of acter and woman actess i hope you realy make it a reall good end ing please keep trying to get on a other tv chanal try abc cbc or nec but keep trying thank you for bringing back thany you swebster
I didn’t know it had been cancelled. And was looking to see when it was starting back up. I am shocked because it is so well done from the acting to story lines, everything. It was a cut above the rest. I was a little apprehensive about how they would do without JR but they were awesome. I was excitedly waiting its next plot. This is like the 5th show that I liked that has been cancelled. How come all the really good shows always get cancelled. 🙁
Without Dallas it looks like another channel that I can re-program out of my channel line up. I believe that who ever is TNT programs director needs to be cancelled!
Dallas was about the only thing on TV I watched at all! There is so much crap on TV anymore. I was terribly saddened that Dallas was cancelled by TNT and furthermore, I will not watch TNT again! I’ve read the comments by others, there had to be a strong viewing of this show. Not to mention, we were left hanging! We will never know who John Ross’ sister is, or if Christopher really died, if Elena was pregnant by idiot or Christpher, etc. I am really disappointed. I think that another network would have picked this show up had… Read more »
Please put it back on …. Most that’s on now is crap.. I have followed this show from the beginning. COME ON.. GET A CLUE
I was one of the first Dallas people and I was pretty upset when it came to an end they came to an end after 10 years 11 years why can’t Dallas new generation go on I know it’s bad when JR died but it’s a new generation my kids all my life all their life is hard about Dallas Dallas Dallas Dallas Dallas and my teenage daughter was just getting into it what is happened we have all this other garbage is on TV but we can’t bring back something classic and his wonderful as these all these actors… Read more »
So sad, we loved the continuation of the original Dallas. So sad it only lasted 3 seasons. Please find a network that will bring us back to Southfork !!
I loved the show and will miss it dearly. I watched every episode from the original to the new incarnation.
