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?
This is some SAD SAD news the original Dallas did not have good ratings until after the third season so they TNT should at least give it one more season cause the ending was EXTREMELY great and to leave us the fans hang in is some real bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very disappointed that TNT has cancelled one of the best shows on TV!! Yes, I would definitely watch it on another network. I don’t care what channel it was on, we would watch it.
I’m a HUGE fan, been watching since its beginning!! I’ll watch it on any station, TNT’s LOSS
I watched the original Dallas faithfully and thought the writers of the new Dallas did a great job. Very disappointed that they did not renew for a fourth season. Shame on you.
Wrong move for TNT. The best program TNT had. Need to bring it back. The ratings wouldn’t drop if you aired the show at the same time ever season. It’s your fault if the ratings are down, because you never know when the show is coming back on. Please bring it back.
I am so upset that this show has been cancelled. I have been watching Dallas since the original one. What is going to happen now you have left everyone hanging? Is Christopher dead? You can not leave people hanging like this at least finish the plot for this season. I am extremely upset over this.
If tnt would have done regular length season they would have picked up a better following. Just bad planning on someones fault. Bad. Bad TNT. I hope it gets picked up by another network.
Was better than ever expected..A big tnt person but Dallas was my favorite new old show…It kept me watching not once but twice a week…..Please give us another season…
I have watched Dallas since returning to TNT.
Because of Dallas, I now watch even more TNT shows. Perhaps the network needs to promote it better. The actors, script, filming and scenery were first rate. TNT, please reconsider.
The reasons behind “loss of viewership” is due to 2 factors. 1. is because she show was on a cable tv network, where many people including myself refuse to pay for cable any longer. 2. is because the show seasons were too quick & short, instead of the 9 month seasons that captured & HELD viewers back when TV was good. CBS, NBC or ABC should take notice, be wise and grab this show up quickly along with it’s writers & cast.
The best show on cable period
Very sad. It will be missed.
I love this show please renew it is just as exciting as it was years ago, bring it back
I’m very disappointed that TNT didn’t give Dallas more of a chance. To be honest it doesn’t seem like it was advertised well for demographic reach like the old days when J.R. was present in the original series. Sure the show had a different direction, but the story line was up to date and was good show to watch. We made sure to watch every season and are truly sad it will not return. Maybe a different network will give it a shot due t so many other bad shows getting renewed. I know the world is reality show crazy… Read more »
I’m really disappointed to here they aren’t doing Dallas any more. I watched Dallas faithfully on Monday nights faithfully. I guess they don’t know a good show when they have it. They CANCELLED a GREAT SHOW.
