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 was very disappointed to not see the Ewings for a fourth season. Waited all Summer for its return and would definately watch it on another channel. Meantime, I will enjoy my DVD’s of one of my favorites of all time!
Pissed off that this is off the air…they NEVER keep the good shows on TV
I am so sad to hear that Dallas will not be returning for season four.I watched it back in the 80’s and it was my number one show then, and I have enjoyed the new series just as much.I would like to see another channel air it.Please, please, please. More new Dallas.
Sorely disappointed that they are not continuing this show. I have been waiting for the next season to start. Loved Dallas before and loved it now too. For crying out loud producers..wrap it up for those of us that do watch it.
We are so unhappy to hear this! We are disappointed and loved the show!
We were watchers of the show in the 80’s.
Please reconsider!!
Thanks a million!
They could have at least done a close up instead of leaving people hanging!!!
I loved this show. I’ve watched Dallas when it first started. Mom would let me stay up late that night. Have been waiting since last season for the new one. Even my husband started watching the last 3 years.
Wish they would reconsider about season 4. Thank you.
WHY….if you had just let the story line carry the young generation of Money take over and build a new oil Empire and leave the old story line little by little you will have a great show. Bring in new ideas, have the boys buy new companies with today’s real scandals come on Hollywood you are going to owe me some money. This is going to work!!! Texas ranches do not look like this anymore kick it up in the clothes money jewels and rodeos/cattle auctions.
SO SO SAD.Numbers do not Lie.Still WHAT a SHOW thru the decades
I miss Dallas. I wish you could try it on another station. It’s so boring watching the same old cop and killing shows on TV today. It is crazy but it’s relaxing and entertaining to watch the drama filled lives of the Ewings. I think having the older characters come back was an awesome idea. They are more mature and although they will never be a Ms Ellie – I was hoping they would show some maturity to guide this new generation thru the life, greed, and drama that money and power brings. We need more solid entertaining shows on… Read more »
I’M PISSED!!! I have been waiting for the show to return and find out that it was cancelled. I watched Dallas when I was a little girl with my mom. When I heard it was returning, I was giddy and excited. My mom was also very excited. We would plan everything around the show’s day and time. PLEASE reconsider. I did feel the channel it was on was a little strange.
I loved watching Dallas. Please bring it back !!!
I can’t believe Season 4 is cancelled. Again we get left with no finish in storyline. This was my favorite series. Really sad.
Miss this show 🙁 wish it would continue!!!
I’m sad that the show ended. I was one of those ever week watchers.
So sad!
