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 will miss the Ewings, loved the characters. In my opinion the latest plot was too complicated and, in particular, the South American angle was the series downfall. The writers should have concentrated more on the family that captured America’s fascination originally and less on the new “Ewing Energies” and some Mexican cartel. Loved the characters, new and old, and will miss the series.
What are you people doing ? Pull it from TNT and move to another network! One of the best shows on the air.
BEFORE MY MOM PASSED AWAY,WE USED TO SEE DALLAS,KNOTS LANDING,FALCON CREST & DYNASTY WHO WAS THE BEST? IT STANDS OUT ABOVE THE REST DALLAS FOREVER***
TNT, you really must be sociopathic. To destroy our joy by cancelling Dallas. If it makes you happy to cause such sorrow, then you’re a bad network. Your execs must be the most uncaring bunch around. Numbers only to you. Bucks, numbers, age groups…that’s your life.
You could care less about what the viewers think. This is on you…your own demise. TNT…the network who cancelled Dallas…what a claim to fame. We’ll remember you.
I can not believe you cancelled Dallas. You would rather have reality shows or old shows ha no one is interested in anymore then a quality show like Dallas. Shame on you
Omg, how can TNT do this? The storyline was great and the cast was outstanding. Please bring it back!!!!
Janet

I love Dallas…One of the only TV shows that I ever set “my” schedule around. I don’t have a clue where you get your numbers, but I can attest that every one of my friends loved the show and hate TNT for cancelling it!!! All the crap we have to endure on TV these days and you cancel a really great show…WOW….Better get a new numbers crew is all I can say.
BRING BACK DALLAS!!!!!!!!!
Think of it this way, TNT, you have gazillions of fans addicted to Dallas and then you cut them off cold turkey. I mean you went cold turkey and I’m not exaggerating here. What you don’t understand is that that show was heavily watched. More people watched that show than you know. I don’t know where you get your numbers from. Your numbers are obviously wrong…wrong big time. Get rid of your kiddie execs and bring back Dallas.
This was one of the few things on TV that I still watched. I heard that it was going to start and I watched. I watched it in years past and enjoyed the new young actors of the present series. I am sad to see it cancelled.<<
i have watched all of the shows even the last ones even thought it was aired here at 12am
I love watching Dallas I grew up watching Dallas. Please,please renew it or hopefully another channel will pick it up. I have been waiting for it to come back on. So upset that they are canceling it
BRING DALLAS BACK!!! BEST Show! NO MORE TNTFor this Fami2ly without DALLAS!
