It’s the end of the line for the Dallas TV show — for the second time. TNT has announced that they’ve cancelled the new Dallas TV show after three seasons.
A continuation of the successful CBS series from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Dallas follows the machinations of two generations of the dysfunctional and powerful Ewing clan. The cast includes Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo, Brenda Strong, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Mitch Pileggi, Emma Bell, Kuno Becker, and Juan Pablo Di Pace.
Year-to-year, season three of Dallas was down by 26% in viewership and down by 38% in the 18-49 demographic. It’s one of TNT’s lowest-rated scripted series and that certainly wasn’t a good sign for its chances of a fourth season.
In a statement, TNT said, “We are extremely proud of the series, which defied expectations by standing as a worthy continuation of the Ewing saga. We want to thank everyone involved with the show, from the extraordinary cast to the impeccable production team, led by the show’s creative forces, Cynthia Cidre and Mike Robin. We especially want to thank the people of Dallas for their warm and generous hospitality during the production of the series.”
Cidre and the writers have been working on scripts and ideas for a fourth season of Dallas so hopefully she’ll share what would have happened at some point.
What do you think? Will you miss the Ewings? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Would you watch it on another channel?
I grew up watching the first Dallas TV series. I was skeptical about a second series picking up 20 years later centering around J.R. and Bobby’s offspring. But after the first episode, I was hooked. I was amazed by the well-written plot and characters. It was classic “Dallas.” I have been waiting and waiting to find out when the next season was going to come out. I am deeply disappointed that the show has been canceled. I absolutely loved this show.
I am so upset when the Dallas TV show cancelled. I wants it back on tv so I want to see who is the father of elena’s baby. And John Ross’s sister too.
Why was Dallas cancelled? There is no good reason except that TNT wanted Basketball or a younger audience or something. Well, older folks spend money too. And older folks watch more TV than you think. Bring back Dallas, please. But TNT isn’t a good network anymore so let’s do it on ANY network besides TNT.
Please do not cancel Dallas and I love watching the show on TNT. Please come back.
It was a mistake to cancel this series. It was awesome and I will miss it.
I love watching Dallas and please bring the show back on TNT channel the new series.
I love everyone in the show and I miss J.R.

Yes and yes! I would watch Dallas on any channel! Love it. TNT has a history of canceling my favorite shows! Won’t bother watching another !
Will truly miss this show. My husband was really into it. I came around and couldn’t wait for the new season. So sorry it is’t coming back
Just because Larry Hagman has passed away (God Bless) that doesn’t mean that fans of Dallas won’t watch as much as before. Dallas was the best show on TV. It shouldn’t have been cancelled. I wish it were returning. All the fans miss it.
Seriously! I’ve been waiting, thinking the show was getting re-vamped because of Larry Hagman’s death. I loved the drama and it’s disappointing that it was cancelled. Of course I’d watch it on another channel. I hate it when shows don’t do a finale.
Please, Please, Please I cannot say it enough!!!
Bnng back DALLAS, I miss it soooooooooo much!!
I can’t believe they cancelled it!!!! I watched it back in the 70/80/90 and when it came back…. They need to stop doing that they bring out a show then take it off for no good reason.
Loved the show. Why did you cancel it? Been watching that show forever. Please bring it back. Miss it.
No love the show why cancel it.
This is the first show that I’ve watched the original version and a updated version. The new show was just as exciting as the old show. They should have renewed it. I hope it is picked up by another station.
YES! I would watch it on ANY channel. My opinion it was one of the best shows on tv and again it was cancelled. When we couldn’t watch it, we recorded it so we could watch it. BRING IT BACK SOON PLEASE!!!
Absolutely LOVED this show. I watched the original as a young child with my parents and didn’t miss an episode of the new series. I really hope it gets picked back up!!!
