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?
So very disappointed to hear Dallas has been cancelled…both the cast and the story lines were superb. Loved the original Dallas, and this was even better. I would watch it on any channel if someone renewed it. I refuse to have my intelligence insulted by reality TV; I don’t like extreme violence; and I only watch realistic programs – none of the supernatural plots with people turning into werewolves or vampires – that doesn’t leave a lot of choices. While everything else seems to be moving forward, our choices on TV are going backward. I often find myself watching a… Read more »
I really really enjoyed the show and I would watch it on another channel!!!
The Ewings and their dramas have been so entertaining throughout the years. Why can’t we have that back? If there’s one show that is always a winner, it’s Dallas. Hope it returns.
Loved the program watched it very week was very disappointed to have it cancelled
Dallas is such an amazing show with an amazing cast. My friends and I would get together every Monday night to sit down and watch the new episode. We would all watch Dallas on a different channel….any channel if it was brought back to television. I’m 19 and its my favorite show and my parents love it too. No matter how old you are everyone loves the Ewings! Just bring Dallas back!!! Miss the Ewings!
My husband and I loved Dallas. Very upset that such a good show was cancelled!
Dallas should be renewed. There’s nothing more exciting than to hear the Dallas theme song every week. Great show. The best of all of them. Renew this show.
What a shame; Dallas was one of the best shows left on television. All we have no are stupid reality shows. Everyone I know waited for Monday nights to watch one of the
all time television shows that was on. I cannot understand how people would rather watch some stupid reality show instead of a show that featured one of the most television families from the 70’s and 80’s. TNT should be ashamed of themselves
So disappointed!
Loved Dallas! Even without jr the cast is strong enough and so many twists and turns it was on the edge and you couldn’t wait to see it the next week! At least if you have cancelled it you could have ended some of the sagas that played out for a few seasons and give viewers a chance to see an ending or closure. It’s hard to watch a show week after week, get into it, leaves you hanging till the next season and the. Gets cancelled! Not good. It was a good show and the cast was superb. Sorry… Read more »
I am very disappointed that the show got cancelled. I would watch it on another channel and would even buy the videos if the season were made available.
I am upset. I watched the original dallas and was thrilled with the new one. What about us who are older than 49do we not count?
Yes I would watch… Definitely want Dallas back on air!!!!!
I WATCHED DALLAS EVERY WEEK BACK THEN,NOW I JUST REALLY WAS GETTING INTERESTED IN THE NEW SHOW AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW CANCELLED. I’M CONFUSSED THAT THERE IS SOME OF THE STUPIDIST SHOWS ON NOW AND THEY SOMEHOW KEEP COMING BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR. I’M FRUSTRATED AT THE WHO THING
Another day goes by… and Dallas is still cancelled. Won’t you please reconsider?
Dallas is so popular and has so many fans. It’s a guaranteed winner among the shows that are being watched. Please don’t let your politics or age group differences get in the way of bringing back Dallas. Dallas is a solid winner to all us fans. We’d appreciate you bringing it back to TV.
