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?
Love, Love, Love this show and eagerly await each time it reappears. Bring it back! There is too much garbage on tv now–let’s go with a good story!
Bring it back on any network who is smart enough to pick it up. I will watch it. Very sad not to be able to continue this long tradition of a great family and storyline. Sad that these actors will not be able to continue their excellent work. Please do something!!!
Please bring back Dallas! It doesn’t matter what network it is on – I will follow it!
I live in a suburb of Dallas and it is with great pride that to see a show about where I live.
The cast is fantastic. I agree – I’d rather watch this than some trashy reality show.
The show is great!!!!
I hate that it’s been canceled! It’s too long between seasons to keep up with it. I would watch it on any channel that picked it up. Please don’t let it be true!!
I agree its hard to follow a TV show when you take long breaks in between. I LOVE the show and couldn’t wait for them to start season 4. I’d rather watch fiction than trashy realty shows any day of the week! I would watch on another channel!
Please do not cancel Dallas. I WATCH IT NO MATTER WHAT CHANEL. In fact I don”t have cable tv but I have purchased ALL episodes of seasons 1 2 and 3. I BEG YOU….please bring it back. I really love this show.!!!
Please bring back Dallas. It is a Legend.
better than a lot of all of this reality tv. yes it should be continued. would watch it on any station.
Please do not cancel Dallas – I look forward to it every week as I did for the original. It is one of the few shows I watch. All of the stars are great and the show keeps you on edge. It is nice having the some of the original actors as well as the new actors on it. Besides, I am praying the Christopher is still alive. Don’t keep us up in the air wandering – it would be worse than the Cartel itself. Please keep it going. Thanks!
Ah come on. You don’t give the viewers time to catch it. You took so many LONG breaks and you expect all to pick it up. Try airing some FULL shows, stop taking LONG breaks and people will LOVE it once again. We have a large Dallas group nights and look forward to it. It’s like gathering for the super bowl. Now, you’re taking it away. A sad sad day. 🙁
I would definately watch Dallas Network does not matter We love this show the acting is phenomenal!!
Please don’t cancel Dallas. I think the reason it did poorly is because it was not on a major Network. If it was on CBS – NBC – ABC or FOX more people would have viewed it.
They can’t cancel Dallas… it’s the best show on TV! I’ll watch on any network!!
Please bring Dallas back!! I would watch on any channel!! I hope another network picks it up, it’s awesome!!
Why cancel the best show on tv????? The new Dallas is every bit as good as the original! Please someone pick it up!!
