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?
Here’s 3 shows TNT would have cancelled if it was up to them……Mash, Married With Children and All in The Family….Hey guys….It takes time to develop an audience.
Dallas brought so much joy. The Ewings clan are so cool. The character set is perfect. It always has been. Dallas should go the distance .i.e. keep it on forever. It should have never been cancelled.
I want ever watch TNT again.
BRING IT BACK! EVEN ON ANOTHER STATION! IM HEART BROKEN. I LOVE DALLAS!! & BRING CHRISTOPHER BACK AS WELL!!!!
Very disappointed that Dallas won’t be back. A lot of people had just started watching because it was on a station that a lot of people were not familiar with especially on satellite. I thought it was great and would become like The Sopranos after it was available off HBO.
Dallas moved days too often as well.
Give it a chance
TNT, you made an awful mistake cancelling Dallas. Dallas was watched by more people than your so called ratings system has shown. The people that watched Dallas are among the best viewers to have. These folks actually have money. The kids you want to program for don’t.
Wake up. Bring Dallas back!
Mike is right BRING Dallas back Try tracking the 35+ yr old viewers that are still devoted fans. If they are tracked then the “low ratings” will change because they are the correct demographic.
Really disappointed that this show has been cancelled-I looked forward to seeing it every week. The actors and writers did an awesome job!! I vote to get the show back on-it beats a lot of other programming. I miss Dallas.
Very disappointed that the show is canceled. Love the show
The season finale was never meant to be a show finale. There should at a minimum be a mini series finale to properly wind down the show. It’s a shame not too after the excellent job done by writers, actors and producers. It will be missed and yes if the same crew produced it for another channel I’d tune in.
I highly doubt it’s canceled it just that stupid TNT station who refuse to play it anymore because of a ******* rating. ******** I want them back and I hope to god they come back. I love how raw and talented the whole cast were. Especially Jon Ross jr.
I love Dallas, loved it years ago & love the current ones. I’m very disappointed & sad they cancelled it. Hope they can bring it back on another network.
Ewings drama can’t be beat. There’s just something about that clan that is so darn interesting. It keeps everyone watching except TNT execs. I hope JR can give us some divine help from above to help get Dallas back on TV. It is missed very much, along with JR.
You are leaving us hanging. What happen after they blew up one of the cars?
A lot of other things things happen and you just left us hanging.
Disappointed that they aren’t bring it back….. loved both the old and the new Dallas…. any chance another network will pick it up?
Very dissappointed to hear Dallas has been cancelled. Loved the show and couldn’t wait to watch every week. Give us acting on TV not all these reality shows.
They at least owe us an ending. The only thing I watched on TNT.
I loved both old and new Dallas shows.
