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?
Really upset to hear they’re canceling Dallas. I was looking on line for 2015 season and made me sad to see they cancelled it. I hope another channel picks it up. I was a huge fan. I used to watch it when I was little with my mom and we watched the new saga together too.
It’s upsetting to have seen Dallas get cancelled. How they did the viewership estimate must’ve been awfully flawed. TNT is looking for the 18-49 age group. This group is mostly out of work and can’t buy anything that the commercials sell anyway.
I tell you, the rest of the viewers dwarf this group. Yep, above 49 there’s life, kiddo. And bucks too. What a shame you guys are so dumb.
I don’t understand why they are canceling this show. IT WAS GREAT! I was looking on-line to see when the new season started and found out that it had been canceled. I’m very disappointed! I hope TNT rethinks this decision.
My family and I were avid fans of Dallas the first time and also the second. It’s not fair to leave us hanging the way they did. We have been waiting faithfully for the show to return only to find out it was cancelled. We are very disappointed.
It’s horrible news!! I wish they would come back!! Please!!
Can’t believe Dallas has been cancelled!!!!!!! I hope another channel will bring it back.
I’ve been impatiently waiting for the new season to start and just found out that TNT canceled the show! I am extremely upset and hope that someone else brings the Ewing Saga back because I also watched the entire series from the 70’s to the 80’s and want to know what happened to Bobby, Anne, Sue Ellen, Pam, Christopher, and John Ross even with JR gone, because his actions are still affecting people’s lives and because his leyend is still alive!!! Please bring it back… Please bring it back! =..0(
Hello
Im upset they canceled the show and i dont watch much tv anymore because all there is is Junk its ok for the younger generation but I grew up on this show and like the new show even if it doesnt have Jr and he will be greatly missed. But there are other cast members who deserve a chance to keep it going and im sure alot of old time fans like myself still watch it. Please bring it back and pick a night and stick with it. So we know when its on to watch it.

With all these endlessly cheap reality shows on, it’s hard to not miss a class show like Dallas.
Wish it were back.
For me. It want be the same without Larry Hagmann
Well it figures that finally a good TV show comes on that I have seen every episode since it first came on in 1978. Way to go TNT you blew it.
I am really upset because Dallas was canceled. I’ve been waiting and wondering when it would return for it’s 4th season and then I just found out it wasn’t coming back!! I love everything about the show. I watched the original and the new one , never missed a episode of the new one. TNT why did you do this ??? I hope some network brings it back so we can see what’s happening next. I want to see what’s going on with John Ross and Pamela, Christopher and the rest of the Ewing’s. I hate looking forward to the… Read more »
I hope another network picks up Dallas. It was a great show to watch!
This was a great show, it kept you on the edge of your seat. Great cast and story lines. I hope someone brings it back! It will be missed!
Dallas was one of the best shows on tv. Should move to another network worth it.
When you watch the shows that are on TV now what do you see? Not much, huh?
Dallas was the best show, hands down. It had (has) more followers and fans than any of these new shows ever dreamed of having. Some execs at TNT really missed it big time when they cancelled Dallas. I hope someone brings it back. Dallas should be on TV again. We all miss it.
