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?
LOVED THE SHOW! Would watch it on any channel.
Bring back dallas. Best programme on TV. I’m gutted.
I’m so disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I have been looking forward to the 4th season. I agree with the many previous responses regarding the reality shows! Bring back Dallas!!!! I don’t know what I will watch this summer if it does not return.
Those reality shows are just so-so. But Dallas was great. They’ll never run out of ideas for the Ewings drama. That show was watched by millions. And TNT doesn’t have a clue about their own ratings and viewers. I say bring it back…but on a network that knows the viewers and has more class.
Seriously? The issue is that your marketing staff are not doing their job! Instead of cancelling, try a little marketing creativity. You may be surprised at how many viewers you actually have!
Very upset that Dallas was canceled! Big mistake! Huge! Looked forward to watching this incredible cast and wonderful story lines! If another channel would pick this show up, umm… it’s a no brainer YES I would watch
I love Dallas. My mom and I never missed a show. I was wondering why I haven’t heard nothing about it coming back on. Reality shows is taking over and I cant stand them. I hope you all change your mind. Dallas is a good show always has been.
This show had a great storyline with many nuances, interesting character development, and just plain good entertainment. I was looking forward to season 4 with great anticipation. I would watch it on another channel if someone could figure out a way to bring it back. Please reconsider the decision to cancel.
Cancelling Dallas is like taking a wrecking ball to your house. You need to rebuild, TNT. Start with rebuilding and returning Dallas. I think you’d be surprised at how many people watch that show. Obviously you don’t have a clue…so here I am telling you.
I love this show, I’m sick of reality shows!
Please bring it back!!! It was so good and fiction…….I love to watch shows that entertain……hate reality, live it!
I am very sorry that TNT cancelled Dallas – I really enjoyed it and didn’t miss an episode. Bring it back! You won’t be disappointed.
absolutely loved it gutted I didn’t get to know what happens
Dad-Gummit…Dallas is a great show. These replacement shows aren’t cutting it guys. You need to bring back Dallas and show some class.
I can’t believe they canceled the show….it’s always had a good story line. I was wondering what happened to the show. And “Yes” I would watch it if they continued it on TNT or another channel.
This show is better than most of the demonic garbage that TNT puts out.
