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?
Really??? Come on…it can’t always be what the BIG BOSSES want….doesn’t the public count at all?? I’ve always loved Dallas ..great acting, great story lines, great changeover into next generation of ewings…it’s a better program than the senseless reality shows they show…
If the networks would only listen to the fans of the shows they keep getting rid of for an awful reality show!!!!
I watched all three years of Dallas. Very disappointed it is gone.
I can’t believe the show was canceled. I have been anxiously waiting for the new season to begin. Though I miss JR, I still enjoyed the show. Please renew it!
Yes I would watch it.
I did enjoy the old Dallas. Was excited about the new. All the cast were Great. The young JR WAS TOPS. The excitement of the “new generation” putting forth the effort to proceed and succeed with the family investment was interesting, knowing both geberations. However what ever happens in the bedroom these days “takes away” the elimate of interest and imagination on all movies or series. This is where you loose.
Way to ruin a classic without even giving the new and GREAT generation am opportunity. Also by embarrassing the former successful cast without a proper ending to the new show. TNT needs to quit dropping good TV shows.
Please bring Dallas back. I love the show and it bring that old school swag that’s missing from TV… Bring it back
Boo! I loved this show! I am so disappointed and wish they would bring it back!
As is so often the case why are shows cancelled without an ending and leave people hanging. The show was well scripted, made an excellent connection to the original series and was very well acted. How is it that all these mindless stupid reality shows stay on for years and something with “real” story lines get the shaft. Yes, it will be missed. ANY network please pick it up and bring it back if even only a minimal period of 8 shows to develop a TRUE ending for the series.. The mindless Nielson rating system does NOT accurately portray certain… Read more »
I totally agree!
Bring back Dallas – it doesn’t matter on which channel or network. Can the networks not see there is still an audience by the fact the old series are still being shown.
Loved the Dallas series…would like to see TNT renew….thanks…
don’t cancel..good show..at least need an ending
I wish they didn’t cancel this series. It was very good viewing and will definitely miss it. I know of a lot of other people who watched and said they will miss it, too. Great actors/actresses. Please bring the show back!!!
I’ve enjoyed watching Dallas (and Knott’s Landing!) since the very first episode! The new generation with some new and some familiar faces is so much fun to see! LOVE John Ross and I would love to watch the legacy of the iconic Ewing family continue.
Thank you!
Canceling Dallas was definitely a mistake I look for it every chance I get to see if it’s coming on Netflix or another channel will pick it up. I’m hoping it will come back out I guess I have to just continue watching The old episodes on netflex
