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 have watched every episode. I would,watch it on any station it would appear!
I can’t believe they would cancel the only series worth watching. Why? Based on demographics of viewers starting at age 18? No Wonder! Doesn’t anyone care about viewers in the 49 and up category – after all, we are the views with established lives who spend the money on the products advertised during these shows – Bring it back on a different nite. This Fall 9pm on Monday nite is competing with Monday nite football – what can compete with that? No doubt, Tuesday or Wednesday nite would be a whole different story. If anyone comes up with a way… Read more »
I will stop watching tnt now that they cancelled dallas
I completely agree: no Dallas, no reason to watch TNT at all. Bad move, boys.
Disgruntled fan, here.
Please, please, please bring back Dallas. You can’t leave the fans of Dallas not knowing what actually happened to Christopher. I been watching since the 70’s, was so excited to see Dallas back on TV. DISAPPOINTED!
What a disappointment . How can we sign a petition to get Dallas on another network or
venue?
I loved loved this show and I hope it will air on a different channel!
Big fat bummer. I really enjoyed everything about the show. Who makes these decisions?! Totally disappointed!!!
Disgusted tht the series in not continuing, brilliant series, love Linda Gray & Patrick Duffy, why axed good series… Stupid programmed are left bt good ones like Dallas is axed, why why?
Listen to the listeners….
Stupid decision !!!!!!!!!
They do not need to cancel a perfectly good show. Do we needto go to another network?
enjoyed the series and all the side action
as well as; the actors
It’s a great show and a big disappointment that the show has been cancelled. Other shows like “Castle” are not even worthy of continuation and yet Dallas, a far better show is cancelled — very bad decision I believe!! Please bring it back!!!
A big mistake and a big let down if you don’t continue the series.
Best show on! Big mistake someone be smart and bring it back.
We’ve watched and followed all the Dallas shows/series and hope they will consider continuing the fourth series.
Love the show, please bring it back. It was not advertised enough to let enough television watchers know it was on. Other shows are bombarded with commercials but not for this show.
