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?
Ya can’t believe tnt cancelled besides that show could care less about tnt so hopefully another network picks it up I know everyone I know watches it so don’t know why it cancelled
Hard to believe Dallas had bad ratings. I thought the show was exciting from beginning to end. I never missed an episode. Bad decision to cancel such a good show. Hope another network picks it up.
Stressin’ over the cancellation and was hoping Christopher had left the car before the blow-up. If this is picked up by someone else, I will watch it!! There is so much more that could happen in the story line. I LOVE Dallas!!
COME ON GUYS! LETS GET TO WORK! EVEN IF TNT WONT SAVE DALLAS WE STILL COULD ITS WORTH TRYING. OUR EFFORT MIGHT GRAB THE ATTENTION OF ANOTHER NETWORK! WE CAN DO THIS! Maybe we can all write letters. It’s a long shot but it’s something. We can all explain what we love so much about Dallas or why it’s so important to us. We can at least try.

Are you flipping kidding me? It was one of the BEST reboots of any series I have ever seen. This is just WRONG.
TNT is finished with my viewing!!!! This series was an edge of the seat grabber Please another station lift it from TNT no respect for their older viewers
I can not believe the network would leave viewers up on the air like this. It does not pay to get involved with a show and be a loyal viewer every week when they do this. We should just turn off TV !!!
NOOOO, YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO US!!!! Bring Dallas back, we all want to know what happened to Christopher!!! I will never understand why you would want to cancel such a fantastic show, I’ve been watching it from DAY 1……this is NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!
That’s terrible news! Such a great cast and great episodes. Bring it back!
Just found out they were cancelling Dallas.I absolutely loved that show.I would totally watch it on another channel.I think it would do good in the morning or early afternoon.Ill dvr it when i dvr my soaps.lol.hate to see it go.
I like Dallas. please find a way to not cancel the show. I have watch it ever since it came on and was happy to see it come back. thank you.
I can’t believe that they would just cancel without any closure. This was a good series. They keep some of the dumbest programs on tv and get rid of the good ones.
I was shocked and appalled at TNT’s decision to cancel DALLAS. It was one of the few shows on tv worth watching!!! It had a plot , purpose and was very entertaining. That was probably its downfall; it made sense. It was a wonderful show in a class by itself. I will dearly miss it. To Ted Turner: You really missed the boat on this one!
i am devasted. how could tnt do this. it seems like all tnt wants to air is a bunch of cop shows. how many of those shows we need out there. dallas was good and deserved another season or four. would another network please pick this show up. tnt you suck and i have no use for you anymore.
I am upset that the show is being cancelled. I was not aware until today that it is not going to return. I don’t know how you determine the ratings but they must be wrong. Please reconsider bringing it back
