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 all of the original Dallas (even waited until a show was over before going to the hospital when I was in labor with my daughter). I was overjoyed to hear they were bringing a new Dallas back. Still Can’t believe that it is gone again. I love all of the twists & plotting on the show, and the actors too. Viewer % down? Well maybe TNT could have promoted the show more. Come on CBS or any channel PLEASE bring back DALLAS!
Please bring back Dallas!!! I loved that show!
When I found out they were cancelling Dallas, I decided that I would not watch TNT anymore and to this date I haven’t. Not that just one person is going to make a difference, but I really enjoyed watching the series. It bought back very wonderful memories that I have of watching the original series with my parents. It would be wonderful to have it back again even if it is on another channel.
Yes I would watch it on another Channel I love the show
Bring it back!!!, it was a great show. Loved all the characters. Just like the original,series you could love them and could hate them. Good acting. Great plots. BRING IT BACK.
Okay so how in the hell do you kill off Christopher and leave the show as is that is simply wrong it makes no sense it leaves us just wondering what happened with the sister what happened with the baby daddy what happened with Christopher what happened with everything it leaves too much unsaid there’s a loyalty thing here like who’s going to watch shows on this network if they just drop and canceled shows out of nowhere I’m sitting here wondering like what next what happened NY it was a good cast the characters were likeable and hateable all… Read more »
Please bring Dallas back! It was It was a great show was very upset when I found out they canceled the series:(
Great show! Put a new, modern twist into the old Ewing tricks, drama, scheming and back-stabbing that made the show so popular to begin with! Really going to miss a very HOT Jordana Brewster in her skimpy outfits too…
Loved the show. Wasn’t certain it could live up to the original but was pleasantly surprised. Please bring it back!
Please bring back Dallas and also Jesse Metcalf, the magic of television could always just say he walked away from the crash and is fine! I enjoyed the follow up series as much as the first.
I am so disappointed that Dallas has been cancelled. I would definitely watch it on another channel! This was a throwback for me from the original Dallas and I loved it!
Please bring Dallas back!!! I loved it and looked forward to seeing it then Nothing! I would watch on any channel. I watched the original and was thrilled to see the new one.
I watched the Original Dallas Plus Every rerun Ever Shown on TV. I was so excited to hear Dallas was returning and had High Hopes but was disappointed. The Cast was wrong, well most, Bobby was of course great & the woman that played his wife was good But the 2 boys were Wrong! I didn’t like their acting, They Over Acted! The writing wasn’t as good as it Could have been because they had a Great Story to work with and then Blew it. Yes I would watch but would hope for better Casting for the two boys &… Read more »
