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?
bring it back, bring it back!!
I loved Dallas. Maybe the reviews were down because the people who used to watch Dallas didn’t know it was on. I know I didnt. I happened to scroll through the channels and came across it. I know a lot of people I know had no idea there was another season. I wish you would bring it back. Advertise and I bet you would see viewers would watch. At least the ones that faithfully watched every Friday night back in the 70’s and 80’s. I have been waiting for it to come back on tv
I watched Dallas back in the 80’s and 90’s. Loved the series. I was so excited to see them bring in back. I do believe if you give it some more time the ratings would go up. I would really love to see it back on the air and would watch it on any channel
One of the only decent shows on TV and you CANCEL it. How dumb is that?
Put it on another major channel!!!
TNT bears the blame for ruining all the joy that Dallas brought to evening TV.
A lot of people have switched that network off. I mean, what’s left? And worse still, how do they think that any of the shows that are still on could possibly compare with Dallas?
What a messed up, misguided network. It doesn’t have a clue of what is happening on the viewer side of their transmissions.
Please please bring it back! We have a heavy schedule and record other tv shows, but this is the one show that we never miss. Hate reality tv love this show!!!!
Hope Dallas returns. Would be disappointed if it did not return
I am an original Dallas fan and the new generation Dallas fans. I watched every episodes. I hope you will reconsider in airing Dallas again. I will continue to be a loyal Dallas fan.
Maybe you can air on CBS (where the first Dallas started). More people have access to major channels and you will get more people to watch it. Not everyone has cable to watch on TNT.
TNT your viewership is down because of lousy programming surrounding Dallas. Ever since you went to very few movies ( and the same ones) then repeating average series one after another, my groups have forgotten about TNT other than occasional NBA and always Dallas. Whomever is in charge of programming for TNT and TBS as well, there is the problem.
bring it back, this was better than the first.
I am disappointed that it is gone, am tired of good show being canceled while bad shows continue and I would watch on another channel and I would get a subscription service like Netflix or hulu if they picked it up
Disappointing to end a series without a finish. I was so looking forward to continuing the show and see what the Ewings would come up with next. Would be nice if another network picked it up …. but for now – so disappointing!
Yes you can. You can bring Dallas back. It’s not too late. Us fans will watch till the cows come home. Bring back Dallas please!!!!!
You cancelled Dallas and now there’s nothing left but Wheel/Seinfeld/News to watch.
Give us a break please. If you can’t sell advertising with Dallas, then you can’t sell squat.
Your programmers are probably running through revolving doors. Get a grip. Look out the window for a change. See all those Dallas fans? If you can’t you’re just blind and deaf.
TV has become a wasteland of waste. Dallas was the crown jewel.
Michael is 100% correct , why did they cancel a GREAT TV show…..
I am disappointed that show is canceled, please bring the show back.
