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?
That really sucks….I was looking forward to seeing the next season.
Bring back Dallas and people will watch. This is a fact. And I’m not talking about just a few people…I’m talking about LOTS of people. You would be so amazed at how many people miss this show. So bring it back please.
I am 80 year old and have never missed a Dallas show, from the very start until the nd of his past season. I would certainly continue to watch this program on anyother channel.
I’m very disappointed that they have cancelled this show.
The TNT executive who made the decision to cancel Dallas should be publicly kicked in the nuts by each of the women who starred in the show! Now that would get great ratings!!!
TNT, You sure know how to screw up. Can’t believe how bad of a decision to cancel Dallas was. What’s wrong with you? You sure caused a lot of sadness when you did that.
Love love Dallas!!!! Please someone bring it back!!!!
Nuts!
Terrible – no season four? I’d be watching season 100 if I lived long enough! JR was my hero – even though 20 years younger I always said when I grow up I want to be just like JR!
Hats off to everyone for 3 wonderful new seasons!!
I am so upset. I haven’t missed an episode. I’ve been looking forward to this season and just found out it was cancelled. Why?
I am so sad that TNT cancelled Dallas. Please bring it back. Best show ever.
Very disappointed on having just found out that Dallas was canceled. I’m a huge fan from having watched the original show. Yes I would watch it on another station, just please please bring it back.
This show was fun to watch. Great cast…good story line. TNT why? Ratings….I’m tired of reality TV.
Good point Kathy. Reality TV sucks! Come on TNT bring back the Ewings!
I looked forward each week for Dallas to come on the air. I was a big fan of the original series for the13 years it was aired—never missed an episode. I remember that I was thrilled when it was announced that the “new generation” of Dallas was coming to TNT after 20 years. The blend of some of the original cast members with the younger cast worked great. The show did not disappoint in my opinion. BIG MISTAKE TNT!! Dallas should be given a shot for a fourth season.Wake up people–Reality TV is a joke.I cannot understand the draw to… Read more »
Yes I would watch it on another network. I was waiting for the new season and come to find out it has been cancelled. Why?
Huge bummer. I loved it.
I am very disappointed I watched it in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and would watch it again.
