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 loved the younger cast as well as the older cast members. Please bring them back if possible.
I really enjoyed the show please bring back on a different network..
I loved this show always waited to see what was going to happen the next week. It’s funny that TNT cancels shows like this but so of the dummiest **** on TV we leave on. TNT knows drama my ass let’s put it on another channel then I don’t know let’s try CBS or something.
Bring it Back for season 4
It was and still is a great show
Rethink this if possible
Tony
I truly think that this show had even a greater possibility of being a hit more so then the original. It probably would have faired far better on a major broadcast network. TNT should rethink this
Sad to hear its not returning for season 4.
I love the show.
I just purchased cable TV for this show.
Bummer!!!
I just found out it was cancelled for season 4 & I’m disappointed. I would have continued to watch it. It was really good!
The new Dallas was every bit as good as the original. In a world of instant gratification required, it was never really given a chance to develop a strong following–although I suspect that TNT didn’t have the patience to grow a constituency. Too bad. TNT’s loss, and our loss as well.

Yes, I would watch in another channel. I loved the show and I was a viewer from the beginning when was younger. I really enjoyed seeing JR and Bobby still fighting.
Does it matter what I think ?? Will that make a difference ?? Yes I want a season 4 and yes I wish they would put it on another channel !! I don’t like TNT !!
Yes thought new dallas was better than old. Advertise it and everyone will watch it. Have cast members on talk shows etc. None of my friends knew anything about it. I thought it was excellent
Sad to see Dallas cancelled. I was a loyal viewer when it started on CBS and was so excited to see it revived on TNT, I was HOOKED again. Then to be sadden by the news of no Season 4. Wish CBS would bring it back home to where it would be viewed by a bigger audience. Not saying that TNT doesn’t have the viewers, but the “old” standbys the founding stations have a much more grounded and loyal viewing audience, like me. I grew up watching Dallas and all those other shows on CBS and its wonderful to see… Read more »
