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’m in New Zealand and we all love watching Dallas – please don’t cancel it. It’s awesome.
I am sooooo upset that Dallas is cancelled!! I can’t believe after 3 short seasons that TNT is so quick to make such a big decision. I have watched Dallas since the pilot when Bobby brought Pamela to Southfork as his new bride in the 70s. I have watched TNT more since it has been broadcasting Dallas, too. Maybe a different time would bring up the ratings or there is a better way of calculating more accurate ratings. It would be interesting to see the age group of viewers that are so faithful to Dallas. I hope TNT changes it’s… Read more »
We just can’t believe it! Dallas was a show that we looked forward to. We are so tired of the ratings and demographics being about the those youngsters who would rather sit around on their cell phones than watching a decent TV show together. If TNT doesn’t bring it back, shame on them and we’ll take our viewing elsewhere! Hopefully, another network will pick it up! Sad day for two 55 an up . . . 🙁
Don’t cancel Dallas bring it back
I can’t believe that Dallas was cancelled. The networks cancel all the good programs and leave the crap on! I’m going to forget TV and read instead!
I have followed Dallas since its inception and am saddened by its cancellation. I’m praying some network will pick it up. The story lines keep your interest and the actors are great at their craft. The writers deserve kudos as well.
Would love to see the show on any channel. In its earlier days, unquestionably the best prime-time soap in TV history. I like many of the characters in the new series, and they certainly left enough plots to start another interesting season. The Dallas theme song and video clips of the city and its surrounding areas is classic.
Amen! Thanks Glen and I also have had it with TNT that not so dynamite TV Network!
TNT can forget Charmed and put Dallas back on the schedule or TNT can forget it! As I will never watch anything on it again,unless TNT brings back Dallas and picks up Killer Women so I can droll over Texas Ranger Molly again as well! I vote to give TNT the one finger extended salute here as well!…
Please bring season 4 back with a answer to all the plots
I loved the show so disappointed with the canceling
