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 really enjoyed Dallas. Please keep it on the air. I was really looking forward to the Elena/Nichols, John Ross pregnancy story was going to play out.
One of my favorite shows. The writing and cast are great. Love Josh Henderson’s John Ross role. I would definitely continue to watch on a different network. TNT didn’t help by having just six episodes then months between.
It should not had been canceled I say put it on lifetime network.
Just because viewership is down does not mean that people are not watching the show. Dallas is one of the most intelligent series on the air! I look forward to each season of the series. The actors do a fantastic job! I feel like I am seeing old friends when I watch the show, and I know that I will see quality! Please do not cancel Dallas!
I am very disappointed to hear that Dallas is cancelled. It has been the only show that I have looked forward to following. Reinstate this exciting drama on TNT! I really have loved the show, and I want the series to continue.
WOW, I am going to miss this show…….I bought a bottle of JR Ewing Bourbon for the January season…….
Please do not cancel Dallas it one of the best shows on TV
