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?
Only series I look forward to!
I would definately watch it on another channel. Too bad it’s cancelled. I loved the show.
Why start a series you don’t give a true ending too. Dallas is the best show on TV in my opinion and millions of viewers and fans have watched fir decades. Very disappointed in tnt to make a terrible decision as this for there viewers .truly hope they re vote this decision.
Why ,why ,why!!!!!’mm
Thats not really fair, of course ratings went down. A major character is gone but I think ppl just needed to get use to No J.R. I think they shouldve renewed it for at least 1 more full season and see how it does.
So excited upon the return of weekly installments of Dallas, I’m that much disappointed by the cancellation. Ditto other younger generations of my extended family. With so much more to tell of the saga, I would hope that it at least be allowed to play to a conclusion respectfully befitting the long standing Ewing saga and its still many loyal followers. In particular, life just won’t be the same minus the wide arching past, present, and future always fascinating Sue (Linda Gray) Ellen.
It is a sad day at our house today. We heard that Dallas was being cancelled. We watched the original when it was on TV. Bought the entire season several years ago and have watched that . . . and of course were avid fans of the new Dallas. Please reconsider and let us continue to keep Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy in our lives. Life will not be the same without in our living roon on a regular basis.
I am so upset & disappointed TNT has cancelled Dallas. This has been my favorite show since it came back on the air. It’s a shame. I hope they will reconsider. I’ll sign a petition to keep it on the air. The actors are great & JR would be proud!
Please don’t cancel Dallas. Will another network pick it up? I watched all of the original Dallas series and thoroughly enjoyed this new series. Please keep Dallas.
I hate to see Dallas canceled. It was the most exciting series on television. I don’t care what channel it was on I would watch it.I looked forward to it each week.
Why cancel The new Dallas????? It’s as exciting as the real show, BOO HOO, I’m so sad along with many of my friends.
Same here very disappointed
Oh sure…. take off a great show fill the slot with another one of your pathetic “reality” show…. only an idiot would have cancelled the best written, best acted show on that worthless network. In my opinion Dallas out classed TNT and deserves a more prestegious network on prime time. Period…. no room for an argument!
Please don’t cancel season 4 – I LOVE this show.
Been watching dallas for a long time it is the best show on tv. They need to have a season 4. I can’t believe their going to cancel it when it’s better than all those garbage and stupid reality shows they have on tv nowadays!!!
Great show, crappy short sighted network. I will never watch another show on TNT again. Why dedicate my time when a network goes out of the way to shuffle schedules and mess with faithful viewers. Shame on TNT
