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?
My husband and I were looking forward to watching Dallas for a fourth season. That is very disappointing. We are sorry to hear about the low ratings. We think if another station picked it up, the ratings would improve. Please bring Dallas back!
Ok, this sucks I have been looking forward seeing this all year !! It was the best show out there!!
Really upset that Dallas has been cancelled. Watched the original series all the time!! Never missed a show/season–and the new Dallas was just as good! Really disappointed in TNT! Wish some other network would pick it up as I believe it was a great show!! Between reality shows and all the TV shows showing killings/etc., Dallas would be a treat!
I am so disappointed that Dallas will not be renewed. Dallas has been on for many years and was a great series. So very sad you choose not to renew a great series
The show was just really starting to heat up. John Ross was making his daddy proud. There was gonna be a baby. Bring it back!!!!!!! At least finish the story. Don’t leave the fans hanging!!!!!!!!
Pleassssse at least do season 4 and close it out the right way pleassssse. These were great actors and actresses.
I can’t believe you cancelled one of the best dramas on tv! I think you need to bring them back!!!
This is verrrry DISAPPOINTING… I always thought this show was awesome! I was wondering when it was coming back on and now I find out it’s cancelled! I would’ve never expected it to be doing bad. 🙁
I’m just finding this terrible news that the series was cancelled; what a shame!!! I definitely don’t understand why, even though the stats say viewership was down, there was still a following; TNT, all I can say is you’ve let Dallas diehard vans down!!
The show was just starting to get really good, I truly feel that the show should have went on its a disappointment that it was cancelled. I say TNT needs to bring it back, the lies, betrayal, drama, action of the show its what made it really unique.. Come on guys please bring it back, I wasn’t even expecting it to be cancelled!
I am soooooo p.o.ed that they have just left us hanging in this series. I looked forward to Dallas every week as I did the original and feel that TNT did not give this series a chance for at least some closure. Is there any one else (Netflix?) that could pick up this series?
I canny believe that Dallas season 4 has been canceled.. it is very disappointing!! I watched it as a kid with my mom and now the new shows with my mom and daughter and to find out our tridition once is done once again is very disappointing! If it came back on another network we would most definitely watch it!!
I think the show lost something when Larry Hagman died.. His character was bigger than life and it made a lot of people stop watching I would guess.
Loved the show! Even better than the original ( I was a child back then), cast, script, everything! It should be renewed and who says that only TNT could broadcast it? There are so many others, keep trying guys, we love you!:)
Nottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt happy:(
