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?
Plz bring it back , we are waiting on the edge of our seats to see who blew up in the car and who’s child Elena was having .
I’m very sad.great show. Love john ross. Great stuff.
I am so sick and tired of good quality shows being cancelled because of the “low viewership of the 18-49 demographic”. Sponsors and networks need to realize the 50+ demographic has as much or more disposable income, and shows like Dallas, even though it was about the later generations of the Ewing family, was more likely to attract the 50+ viewer and therefore advertisers could get more for their investments if they geared their sponsorship and products to that 50+ demographic. I am 65, retired, and have a hard time finding TV shows that don’t have silly, sex-oriented jokes and… Read more »
bring Dallas back. I watched it years ago and love the new generation
We loved the new Dallas and we are going to miss it !!!
I only watch TNT for Dallas!!!
Nope, let it go. There is noo J.R. for one and the kids are too disrespectful to the elder Ewings in this family. Jock would have never approved.
Renew! Yes I will watch it on another channel and never watch TNT again! Someone will pick it up!!! Can’t wait for season4!!!
Dallas is the only show I watched . Bring it back. Great fast paced writing. Great cast.
This is a great show! Please do not cancel, bring it back!
TNT please consider one more year, or better yet, CBS please carry on the phenomenon you started over 30 years ago! Sunday nights at 10 EST would be great!!! This is a very well written show and the characters are nothing short of as good as it was in the 80’s. I so hope someone will please consider carrying this. The Dallas fans are the best and certainly true. Dallas! Dallas! Dallas! You get my point. Thank you!
Cant believe it some other channel needs to pick this up its brilliant will be very sad if its gone from the screen 🙁
Keep Dallas on it is one of the best shows to watch! it is better than some of those doppy reality shows that are on.
C’mon you guys, bring back Dallas. Best show to watch. I miss it. Please bring it back.
BRING BACK DALLAS!!!!!!
Dallas was one of my (and my husband’s!) most favorite shows. We have numerous co-workers who felt the same way and who couldn’t wait to discuss the show the morning after. I am really shocked that viewership was down. I was so looking forward to the next season. I hope another network picks it up. Maybe airing on TNT was the issue.
