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 have always been a huge fan of Dallas.. I think that the reason that the ratings were not there is for two reasons….. one I did not like the way that the seasons were split up….. and I also didnt like the fact that it was on monday… however I watched regardless. I will miss the show very much it was one of the only tv shows that I watched…. well I guess i will be one less viewer for tnt…
I cannot believe TNT cancelled Dallas. How sad to not see the Ewings anymore. I am sad that they cancelled a great series shame on you TNT
Are they for real cancelling this excellent show with great actors???? I look forward to it each season and which it was actually on more often! They need to rethink this decision for sure. It is exciting. This is a bad decision for sure.
DONE with TNT, hope it was worth canceling a good show to make room for crappy dramas…
I cannot believe Dallas has been cancelled! I will never watch TNT again. I am totally finished with TNT. Dallas did not have a proper ending! There was a total lack of respect to all the viewers from the previous years who once again became connected with the storyline and cast. I wish the cast the best of luck and congratulate them on their astounding performances. A stellar cast indeed! Shame on TNT! Shame on TNT!
Please continue to air Dallas.I love it so much.true it is very sad that Larry hagman is gone but Patrick Duffy and Linda gray keep the show alive
If you want to try save Dallas there is a petition out there to try to save it, here is thhttps://www.causes.com/actions/1772642-sign-the-petition-to-tnt-channele link
SO DISAPPOINTING!!! Was the show I looked forward to most each week. The writing was excellent and the finale was cliff hanging. How can we not know what happens after this? I really hope enough fans respond so that we can have a season 4. And to be totally honest, this was the only show that I ever watched on TNT. Maybe a stronger/smarter channel will pick it up .
I will never watch TNT again you have cancelled my favorite show. I looked forward to it for months before each season. Advertise it more and people will watch.
It has been a great show & I hope whoever is in charge will see what a big mistake it will be to cancel it.
I can’t believe this TNT. This was what I watched on ur channel. I guess I’m done with you now. I hope some other channel will pick this show up. I love Dallas
You have to be kidding! Absolutely love this show. The hour flies by. This show is one of the most entertaining shows on TV. What’s the problem. Is is because there isn’t blood and guts in every other scene or it’s not one of those fake reality stupid shows. Truly lost respect for TNT. That channel no longer exists in our home. Maybe someone with common sense will pick up Dallas.
TNT’s loss can be another networks gain. There are many other networks Cynthia and Mike can shop that have slots to fill where Dallas would thrive. As great as TNT is, they don’t draw a diverse enough viewership. ABC or NBC would be a prime draw. Possibly after Resurrection on ABC or the Blacklist on NBC. ? Just a thought,fansneeds to go to the homepage on FB and petition for the show to be picked up by another network.
This is by far the worst decision to cancel Dallas. I have been an avid viewer in the past and present. Dallas should have not been cancelled!! Now there are other shows on TNT that should be cancelled that didn’t have the class of Dallas. This is just unbelievable. A huge loss!!! Somebody out there please pick up Dallas!!
I think they wait too long between seasons and then there isn’t enough episodes for the season. Just when people realize it’s back on its over again. Suck I wasn’t into it too much the first season but started to look forward to watching it by the next season and now its over???
Absolutely the best show on TNT and it’s over just like that! Bad decision and hopefully another network will take this opportunity and run with it. What has happened to our society when shows like Honey Boo Boo and Naked Dating are an option but Dallas gets cancelled! WAKE UP TNT!!!
This is such a big mistake. This is the second series that TNT has cancelled. They canceled Monday Mornings which I loved and now my beloved Dallas. I am done watching TNT. I would definitely watch Dallas on another channel. Please, someone pick it up. It’s too good to be a summer series.
yes, I am not watching TNT anymore either, everytime a good program comes on – after 2-3 years they cancel it ! I hope another channel picks it up.
