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?
Dallas was a highlight of my week and I looked forward to the fourth season. No matter the cost, I think it should be renewed and/or picked up by another network. The cast was amazing and it would be a shame to end it now. The story is just beginning. Don’t give up so easily!!
Best TV show ever. So many mind games… If a station doesn’t pick it up they’re stupid.
What’s it gonna take to bring Dallas back to TV? What ever the embarrassment, the cost, the effort, the risks…it’s worth it. Bring back Dallas because there are so many fans that want it back.
I am very disappointed that Dallas was canceled! I was so looking forward to another season. And YES I would watch in another channel!
I can’t beleive it!! I grew up on the old classic and I certainly enjoyed this one too. I am sooooo disappointed!! I hope another network picks it up.
Will miss Dallas. I was really into the show. I would love to have it come back. Maybe on a basic channel.
BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, REALLY????? But stupid shows are all over prime time. Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a travesty to see this wonderful show cancelled!!! I would watch on another channel. Shame on you TNT!!!!
I love Dallas! I keep checking and hoping that someone will pick up the series. This show was awesome and the story lines were varied and riveting. PLEASE someone pick this show up and run with it!!!
I sure enjoyed the show I’m disappointed that it has been canceled
I hope they bring Dallas back to TV. It is missed. Nothing else is even close..
Are u kidding me…. Bring it back grrrrrrrr
I am so dissapointed that Dallas was cancelled. I was a huge fan of the original show and loved the new version. Please please bring it back. Love the Ewings! All the cast members were amazing.
I loved this show John Ross is his daddy’s son and all the other cast members were great. I wish someone would pick it up
Dallas was a great. It should not have been cancelled. I would like it very much if they would bring it back to TV in any form. They may have to make the name more in with what’s popular now. Something like Zombie Dallas…or Bad Dallas Bad…or hmmm can’t think of anything else that’s popular except Dallas. So bring it back please.
