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?
Yes I would look forward to watch it. please try to bring it back
I’m disappointed that the series was canceled. W would love to see the show back on any the network please figure it out
Yes I would most likely watch it on a regular basis, the original cast members that are still living should be in the new script as well as the sons, daughters, grands and great grands as well
Bring it back the show is great. It must come a season 4!!!!!!
Dallas has a much loved following and is missed by many and in my opinion as is same as many TNT should renew it for futher series as was one of few things worth watching on British tv
Bring it back, you need a season four. If you a true Dallas fan, this is highly frustrating. It’s the only decent drama on telly.
You need a season four. It’s the only decent tv series on telly, bring it back.
Yes, I would watch Season Four on another station and I would buy it on DVD, as I have all of the other seasons. I would very much like to be able to read the scripts for Season Four if they will not be filmed.
WE’RE LONG TIME VIEWERS AND OFTEN WATCH OLD TAPED EPISODES OF DALLAS TO REMEMBER THE ‘OL DAYS. ENJOYED THE NEW SERIES BUT WITH SO MANY NEW CHARACTERS IT WAS COMPLICATED TO FOLLOW AND DIDN’T ALLOW US TO HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO THEM. EMOTIONS ARE WHAT DRAW YOU TO LIKE OR HATE A CHARACTER. KEEP IT SIMPLE AND LEARN FROM THE OLD SCRIPTS, THEN DALLAS WILL BE A NO. 1 HIT SERIES AGAIN!
I totally agree Bill. I just can’t seem to get emotionally attached to any of these characters. John Ross is an angry spoiled immature boy. Christopher is an angery spoiled immature boy. You can’t tell either one apart and I would have liked to see these 2 characters be more like the children were portrayed in the original series. No depth there … and unlike the original series, I am not sensing any respect from any of the characters. Remember as underhanded as J.R. was … he had the utmost respect for his father Jock. The family dynamic just wasn’t… Read more »
Should bring Dallas back. Watched it faithfully every show and couldn’t wait for the next onentry to come. Bad choice to cancel.
This show needs to come back. I miss it immensely.
Bring Dallas back this show is great
Please bring Dallas back , grew up watching the series , and looked forward to watching it each week . Doesn’t matter what network , just bring it back .Only decent show now days to watch .
Please bring Dallas back for a fourth season or as a miniseries. Just say that Christopher getting killed was all a dream. Just like they did with Bobby.
Bring the series back!! My family and I enjoy it as much as the ones from the past. We miss it…
