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?
PLEASE bring DALLAS back. Our entire family are still fans of the show.We hope and pray that a network picks the show up. DALLAS is a Diamond Gem of a TV series.
Bring the show back. We don’t care what channel.

Please bring it back, I guarantee the ratings will be so much higher! They brought Nashville back! Love it but really loved the new Dallas. Everyone needs a paycheck
Yes,
I would’ve watched it .I miss it terribly. I need to know how it turns out!
Cancelling this show was stupid. I loved it and so did a lot of others
I really want the Dallas 2012 Series back so much. Its 2017 now and me and my mum been waiting for so many years and now finally come to terms that it wont ever come back is such a disappointment. I really hope a 4th season returns after such a cliffhanger 🙁
Yes they should renew the series, make the fourth. I loved the new Dallas and thought all the characters worked well together. I would watch it on another channel, please bring it back to the uk.
I think they should renew Dallas I have loved this show ever since it came on. TV.
I love the ‘new Dallas’ I don’t think it did very well in the UK as it wasn’t advertised and it wasn’t on a popular channel. I only found it by chance. But I really enjoyed it. I would love for it to come back.
My husband and I just recently binged on the 14 Seasons of the original Dallas and are now in the 2nd season of the revival. There are many reasons why this revival may not have caught on … but first and foremost is that without Larry Hagman it was not the same. I find the violence and over the top hatred and anger of this newer Dallas to be unsettling and would have preferred more substance in the storylines. And Cliff giving the nod to endanger his daughter with the bomb story-line was just not belieavable for me and shattered… Read more »
Please bring Dallas back! A great show, so much better than half the junk on tv now!
Please bring this back somewhere. You never invested enough in the children spawned by JR/Bobby etc. You focussed too much on John Ross & Christopher. What about the son JR had with Cally, what about the son JR had before he married Sue Ellen. What about the child Genna Wade had brought up by Ray Krebbs and the child Charlie she had. There was no way Cliff Barnes would have out manoeuvred JR and become as powerful as he was? You needed to link it back more to the original series as it was probably mostly watched by us who… Read more »
Disappointed the show has been cancelled. Was looking forward to watch it again. Most people watching are most likely people who watched the original series back in the day. Therefore I believe it will do better on the local channels instead of cable.
