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 Hate that. If they could put Dog the bounty hunter on another channel. They could do the same for Dallas. Yet the worst show on t.v the Kardashions survives.
Such a huge mistake to cancel Dallas. As far as I am concerned they didn’t give it a chance. I agree with other viewers don’t wait so long in between seasons. If they do a season 4 I will follow it. TNT you lost me as a viewer. Please please please some other network pice up this show.
The UK loves then new dallas will be missed
You Have To Bring It Back! Even if just for a 2 hour movie to end it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t let it end on a cliffhanger! Fans deserve an ending!!!! And, seriously, its only 6 episodes, how could you not work that into the schedule. If nothing else, hooray to the writers for a fantastic show!!! My mom and I loved it and it was our must see t.v. of the week!
They should have put it on a different night and not waited to so long between season, come on 15 shows per season!
totally bummed out! I love this show. big mistake huge come on keep em coming
Make a new spin off show of Dallas via knots landing with all the Ewing’s fargets and summers
Boycott TNT !! They want ratings- well not here
Hey Tom wick where do I sign up in order to join your TNT Boycott? …Please Advise!..Do you want to join our new Boycott of the ABC Mickey Mouse TV Network
for it stupid cancelling “Killer Women”?
Canceling Dallas is a big big mistake…. as was A&E cancellation of LONGMIRE and also the cancellation of Killer Women! We had gatherings watching these shows.
Someone tell me what is wrong with the networks.
There has to be a station that is willing to take these three well written sagas on.
I guess they are catering to the stupid reality shows which I don’t watch…. and neither do millions, MILLIONS of others. Maybe THE CW NETWORK will take these on …. I am so disappointed and disgusted with all networks……
Ridiculous to cancel- some other channel please pick it up. If the Kardashians can survive so could Dallas. TNT will never get my viewing again
This is the worst thing. It is beyond terrible. Yet the crap shows that airs stay on.
The folks that made this decision don’t know shxx. You really screwed up. Dallas is one of the best shows ever. I’d hate to be one those responsible for this because the regret will sink in and later you’ll be sooooo sorry. Sad day…it really is.
Knew it was doomed when they decided that their prime demographic was one that doesn’t care about serial soaps. Particularly revival ones.
TNT has had poor vision when it came to this show since day one. And, putting it on Monday nights was the kiss of death.
Frankly, it should have been pitched to a network like FX. It would have been darker, grittier, and they know how to pitch continuing dramas to a broader demographic.
sad part is that Cidre really came into her own with the writing this season.
Why cancel?? At least give it a final season i watch this in the uk this is bad news
NO!!! Don’t cancel Dallas!!! THERE MUST BE AN MISTAKE IN KILLING OFF CHRISTOPHER…maybe someone was stealing his car…Not Christopher!!!
You cant leave us(viewers) hanging like that. The writers are and have done an excellent job bringing Dallas back and letting us see JR in his prime: and very sad of his passing. Bobby has taken control like his dad and was looking forward to seeing who JonRoss’s sister was going to be. Please let the seasons roll…Hats off to the entire cast.
I was si excited when the new Dallas series started I love it storys are great easy to understand its just getting started, you have to continue the 4th season how will we know if Christopher is really dead and john ross is justcoming into his own as badass jr offspring and who is his sister and who from the old show will bee returning as her mother!!Keep Dallas coming even on a different station!!!
I agree
I will follow it to another network! TNT is making a mistake! Such a great show!
