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?
love this Show so sad they cxlded it
I am extremely disappointed that Dallas was cancelled! Not only was I a loyal viewer of the original series, I was loyal to this sequel. The talented cast and creative production team did a stellar job. I would watch this show on any network that carries it.
Please bring show back. Maybe a web series or netfix drama but the show and cast was awesome. I started searching for return date and found out it was cancelled. Oh my gosh! The story line was addictive. Worst shows seem to be renewed all the time, but the good ones get tossed. The young adult demographic are too busy watching crap reality shows that do nothing but embarrass everyone involved. The rest of us who grew up with these night time dramas was skeptical at first but you have more than proved yourselves. The entire show was brilliant. Please… Read more »
Please please bring back dallas for season 4!!! I was a fan in the 70s and was thrilled when it returned with a new generation but still included original cast!! It was sooo good! Please bring it back!
Disappointing news about the cancellation. But i don’t quite understand the decline in viewership (Larry Hagman’s passing?). The show was just hitting its stride. I would truly hope that TNT and the show’s producers could at least come up with a two hour finale to wrap everything up so to speak. A famous series like this deserves a proper sendoff.
Bummed that it was cancelled.
Dallas should not have been canceled! This tv series absolutely could go on for more seasons! Bring it back PLEASE!!!
Why can’t another network pick up Dallas?
It was a good show.. It’s a shame it didn’t get to finish
Dear Sirs
I’m extremely disappointed that there will be no new series or episodes of the Dallas TV-show. I do enjoy watching the old episodes still, and would love to see some new ones. The series is BRILLIANT, and the actors fenomenal. Everything is so up-to-date and believable. At the end of the last episode it said: TO BE CONTINUED.
Please honor your promise.
No! Finally a night time adult drama I really looked forward to. Perhaps they should have tried changing the time slot before cancelling it. Very disappointed. I’d love to see all the old ones come back…Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Dynasty….
I think the people in charge are stupid. They take off the good shows and leave on the crap for the rest of the idiots watch?
I loved the show. I will miss it. Besides, Linda Grey and I have the same birthday……September 12th!!
I love Dallas, please bring it back. Yes, I would watch it on any channel.
I don’t think it should have been cancelled. I feel it could have gone on for alot more seasons.
I am extremely disappointed that Dallas has been cancelled. I have been looking forward to the next season for a long time. I am 42 and was a loyal fan of the original series. When I heard they were bringing back this wonderful show, I was so excited. The continuation was a job very well done in my opinion. Bringing back the original characters and blending their talent with the fresh new generation of talent was perfect! I truly hope another network picks up this series. I will watch this show on any channel and in any time slot for… Read more »
