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 think it should have been renewed. I loved both the old and new Dallas
Why couldn’t dallas be on another network it was getting very good then they dropped it.very disappointed
I was so excited when they brought Dallas back. The new people brought life back to the weekly series. I couldn’t wait to watch it. Please do not cancel the show.
Renew the show any chanel it was great
They really should reconsider renewing Dallas at leastbror one more year…the fans deserve at least that much……it DEFINITELY beats the kind of reality shows that get renewed year after year like the karsdashian show …let us have GOOD acting on the air
Dallas had values that decent people held near. Family unity, love for the family. The dirty tricks JR used to pull only made you like him more. There’s still more depth to the Ewings than just JR. The new cast members are great. The power grabs and goodie Bobby and dirty tricks JR/John Ross. It’s all great. We miss Dallas so much.
Please keep Dallas on I luv it so much I will most definitely watch it if you air it on another channel please keep it on
It took me several episodes to get into the new series but once I did I was hooked! I am so disappointed that they cancelled Dallas. And mad!
Any chance at all of bringing it back?
My husband and I enjoyed Dallas both old and new! Please bring it back!
they should renew it. Or at least give a finale for the show.
Let’s face it! Some shows were made for a certain era. For this one, that’s over. Despite all attempts by the show’s writers and the actors to update ‘ Dallas ‘ for a 21st century audience, it hadn’t worked. The new ‘ Dallas ‘ was still exclusive and it’s plots too centered around the Ewing clan. It lacked today’s racial and plot diversity, even in the huge and populous state of Texas. Even most ‘ millenials ‘ either couldn’t relate to or wanted no part of the Ewing drama. This audience is more akin to Facebook and Google than an… Read more »
Christopher you must be getting reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly old and gone. Dallas with or without JR (Larry Hagman) is one of the BestTV/Movie shows ever. If any Blast from the Past ought to go it’s you. The Ewing story line reaches into everyone’s lives, it does not depend on how much money you make. You better call your doctor.
TV networks clamoring for audiences of a younger age group because they spend more. Really? Make less but spend more eh?… What a bunch of pussies. What an incredible state of shxx-for-brains programming. Where do these idiots get there guidance from? Somewhere there’s an idiot running this idea into the ground. And in the process, cancelling great shows like Dallas. There ought to be some justice somewhere…some sanity. Let’s start with bringing Dallas back!
Should finalize with at least a 2 hour finale
should be renewed
Very dissapointed want it back!!!!!!!!!!!
I want Dallas to stay on the air. It was the best! I was there in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s. I was so excited when it came back! How can you cancel it? Please bring it back!
