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 like the show but the time needs to be changed because it made me miss it a lot. I don’t think TNT published a that much as the seasons went along passed the first season. I was surprised they killed Chris in the third season. If anything continue it on Netflix.
I am so bummed it was canceled. I’m sure the primary reason was it didn’t do very well was there were so few episodes and so very long between seasons. I know a great deal of people that are so upset Dallas was canceled. It was a great pick up from the long lasting original Dallas. I’m going to miss it : ( How about a pick up on the very high rated Knots Landing??!!
I love this show, great story line, great actors, was getting really really good!!!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!
I was so thrilled when this series was reborn. The actors are all superb, excellent writing, fantastic character development, and just a wonderful saga. Even with Larry gone, the show still evolved so well. Patrick, Linda, and Ken are so talented that it keeps the original feel and theme alive and so do the new actors. It’s clear that each member of the cast studied very hard to continue the drama yet they raised the level of excellence in new ways through the great acting. The filmography was perfect too. I can’t say enough good things about this show. Yes,… Read more »
Loved that show. Cannot BELEAVE YOU CANCELLED IT, EXTREMELY SURPRISED
I loved watching this show. We need to have a season 4.
Dallas is a great show and should not be canceled especially for amother reality show which I hate.
I really enjoyed watching the show Dallas again
I’m so sad Dallas was cancelled. Great show just getting not the characters boo!
I’ve been a fan of Dallas since the it aired in 1978. When they brought Dallas back in 2012, I was so happy and glad to see the original cast. Please don’t cancel the show. I watch it every week. I love it so much, I have bought the first three seasons on DVD disc. Looking forward to watching season four. Please continue to air Dallas. There is a strong viewer base. Thankyou, Jerry Drobek
Very disappointed to hear about the cancellation of Dallas. Watched the original from beginning to end as well as the new series. Thought it was one of the better night time dramas on TV . Hope another station picks it up.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show and thought it was even better than the previous seasons. I sure would like to know how it was supposed to end, and would watch on another channel or iPad.
Hopefully, another station will pick up Dallas. It is a great show. Much better than Nashville.
I watched the original Dallas from the first episode to the last. When this came on I was thrilled. Not everyone wants to watch reality shows that aren’t reality or people eating disgusting things in the desert or most anything
that is on tv now. I get 256 channels, and watch six or eight of them. I would watch this on any network. Netflix – do your majic, so I can binge watch these crazy rich people.
Was very upset to hear about the cancellation of Dallas. My sister and i would looked forward to watching it together. We would guess what would happen next, then you would totally throw us a curve ball and keep in suspense. We would diffidently watch Dallas on a different channel. Grew up with the original Dallas series, It was nice to see J. R and the rest of the old gang. Hope you continue the series on a different channel, preferably on basic cable.
Sincerely Big Fans
