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 can’t believe they are cancelling Dallas. It was the greatest. It was the only show that I enjoyed watching besides the BlackList. There are not many non reality shows out there anymore.
I am so disappointed that Dallas is being cancelled. I thought they were better than the original Dallas. I would watch on another channel. For Pete’s sake at least give us an ending worthy of DALLAS.!!
Why would an action packed, bombastic storyline, that left the viewer wanting more of a program be cancelled? Sad to say, program didn’t need JR; seasons without him, had true grits of merit of its own.
Poor decision making to cancel this show, and I never did understand why this
program wasn’t picked up by the Fox Network….
Please keep the show on the air.
Thank you.
I like the show so much better than the original one I hope it comes back specially with that season finale mayby another channel can take it over
I really loved this show!! Watched the original every Friday night and was excited when TNT brought it back. It has been a great watch and I never missed an episode. I can’t believe that it would end the way it did with the cliffhanger and then just leave it at that. Please reconsider and if you want to cancel, then end the show in a way that don’t leave everyone hanging.
I am sad to hear is got cancelled, I really hate this mid-season and not knowing when it was started up again. I think that why the ratings were low. : (
Dallas is a good show, much better than most of what is available on TV. I am quite disturbed that it has been cancelled. I was skeptical when they brought the show back because I loved it years ago, but it didn’t take long and I was hooked again. I didn’t think they stood a chance once J. R. died but they pulled it off. I would definitely watch the show if another network picked it up.
Why they put the best show on Monday night is beyond me. Its split season is not the smartest decision. I had to look on internet when it started this season. Usually there is advertising on other channels when different shows start. I did not see any. TNT should have the writers of Dallas make their schedule and advertising. Maybe then the station would succeed ! If they canceled Dallas, I will just take TNT off my channel line up. Dallas was the only good thing on there. Maybe another stupid fake reality show or dumb bridal dress show !!… Read more »
I think season four should go on and season five and so forth!
I never missed an episode of the original show I was always in front of the tv
Fifteen minutes early every Friday nite at ten on channel 6.
I missed that show when it ended and will miss this one even more.
I think it should run the same length as the original..
There are just some programs that should never be cancelled and
DALLAS is one of those programs! GO DALLAS……..
Please do not go through with the Dallas cancelation. It is the one show every week that I would look forward to on TV. I grew up watching it and was so thrilled by the return and love it today just as back in the day. I hope TNT rethinks and brings it back or another network buys the rights and keeps it going.
OMG! They just left us hanging at the end of the 3rd season and now we learn that the series has been cancelled.
I LOVED “Dallas”. Never missed any episode of the original series and was thrilled when it came back three years ago. What a letdown to learn that it’s no more.
I do hope TNT will reconsider or another network will pick it up. I’d definitely watch if it did.
What is wrong with you TNT ? The new Dallas was fresh,well written and exciting,while still managing to keep the original essence of the show throughout.
Idiots.
very disappointed that tnt cancelrd Dallas one of my favorite shows on tnt they seem to cancel all the good shows!!!!!!
Absolutely would watch on another channel!!!! Loved the new show
please do not cancel this show. I know the first season was rough getting out of the gate because I have been sucked in and it has really taken off. Especially for the newer generation to understand what went on back to with the show doing the 80s. Please at least bring it on and tie of the 4th season
