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 think a big part of the problem is that the series is all chopped up into little segments. It will be on for six weeks then it’s gone for months. People have a tendency to lose interest or forget to watch because they don’t know when it’s coming back on. This last “season” was ridiculous – when we heard that we were going to see a two-hour season finale, my husband and I looked at each other in shock. THE “SEASON” HAD JUST STARTED! I’d rather see it go for six months – then take a three-month break, or… Read more »
I agree
This show was great. I don’t know why these head honcho think they can ruin the show. I’ve been watching Dallas since I was a little girl and when they put this new one out. I thought it was awesome I can’t believe they want to cancel it. They should lease give it one more year before cancel the tv show. I think all the actors are good and better and so is Bobby so please TNT do not cancel my Dallas show!!!!!
LOVE the show and don’t want to see it cancelled. Its a great date night for my wife and I.
Please DON”T cancell. Love the show and it brings back such good memories of times long ago made modern.
I think that the Dallas series should not be cancelled. The new characters are just establishing themselves and making me forget about the old. They will only get better and provide future pleasure for audiences.

We drive to our daughter and son-in-law’s house every week to watch this because
we canceled our cable. If you really need to cancel Dallas, you need to give it
a proper series finale.
Please don’t cancel!!! I need my John Ross fix!!!
You can’t cancel Dallas now the viewers have a vested interest. Give it another go and at least close the series with some type of closure.
DON’T LET IT GO.PLEASE.WE LOVE IT IN GA.
Please don’t cancel Dallas I look forward to watching it when it is on. I was disapointed when season 3 did not last long. Please keep it on it is the best show.
Please-Please-Please, Don’t cancel the show until you have ended it with a proper finale-
so everyone can have closure! (the cast and the fans)! I have watched this show from the very beginning, and will miss it. You can’t beat the acting-everyone is great in their roles.
Please please don’t take Dallas off the air I’ve have Mondays off from work to sit in front of the TV to watch my favorite show bring season 4 and then some
