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?
So so sad to hear that this show is not returning. My fiance and I loved this show!! Bring it back!! Why do networks always cancel good shows and leave on crap like Scream Queens and IZombie, ugh
BEEN WATCHING DALLAS SINCE I WAS A KID…BIG FAN…EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT J.R., HIS SON WAS PICKING UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF AND WAS JUST AS DELICIOUSLY SINISTER AS HE WAS…THE WHOLE CAST IS EXTREMELY TALENTED. I DON’T CARE WHAT CHANNEL IT IS ON, JUST PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON!!! YOU JUST CAN’T GET US DIE HARD FANS HOOKED ON IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND THEN JERK THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER US! NOT TO MENTION A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF FANS WHO FEEL THE SAME. SO, PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT…DON’T LEAVE US HANGING!
I completely agree w Charlie’s comments 125%!!!!! I too watched as a kid and now am rebooked on generation two.
I enjoyed the series. I was a big fan of the original and think you should at least do a finale episode.
I am very disappointed , my husband and I were really looking forward to Dallas coming back on.
I’m sad to see the series go. I really enjoyed it! Yes, I would have watched in on another channel… my DVR is ready to go!
