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 watched the original series and watch the current series. Please continue the show.
I loved the series and was wondering what happened?
Sorry to see it go I always love to watch the show, I think if it would have been advertised better it would have done better. It should have been on CBS are NBC it would have done better TNT is a off brand network and a low budget company.
i don’t think it was advertised sufficiently. I love TV and watched the original Dallas start to finish. I didn’t even know there was a “new” Dallas until I caught it on netflix and watched every season. I was extremely disappointed to find out while searching to see when the fourth season would start that there isn’t going to be a fourth season. Move it to a different channel or whatever it takes…just make sure you let me know when the show starts!
I was just a kid when my mother used to watch Dallas back in the day. Although, back then I preferred Knots Landing over Dallas, I loved them both. When I heard they were bringing it back, I marked the calendar to tune in. I was waiting for original characters to come back from the past or even children of the past characters to build onto the new Dallas. Its disappointing to see it go.
As a Southworth, Dallas always was a family favorite. Every time Miss Ellie or Grand Daddy Southworth was mentioned it was a thrill to hear our family name even though it was just a TV program.
I looked forward to watching Dallas, would love to see it brought back and seeing the characters from the original show was always a plus.
Dallas was the best drama on TV. It seems like one of the major networks could pick it up. I think that the show was not properly advertised. When I discussed the show with other people, most had never heard of it. Proper advertising could get more viewers and consequently, higher ratings. Someone needs to continue the effort to keep it going.
My husband and I are very disappointed in the cancellation of Dallas. The casting, writing and acting was truly suburb and highly entertaining. We were really attached to the characters. The show did such a wonderful job of incorporating the real-life death of JR/Larry Hagman. I just can’t believe this. Yes, I am dying to know what would have happened and also would definitely watch it on another channel! Please reconsider this decision!!!
Please bring back Dallas
Even if you have to do webisode
Hulu

Bring Dallas back!!!!! Great show…… I will watch on any channel!
Please BRING DALLAS BACK!!!!!!!!!
I DEFINITELY think it should have been renewed!!!! YES I would DEFINITELY watch on another station!!!
Hate to see the show end, watched the original as a kid growing up. The New episode was a little confusing from time to time, but overall a good show. Good luck to the cast and crew
Dallas should have never been canceled. I believe it needed more time. Please consider reviving the new Dallas. I believe more poeple will tune in if it has an earlier showing time. Thank You
