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 agree with all of the other people who commented. It’s a great show and is at least equal to the original. If it can’t be brought back, at least make a movie to explain the end of season 3 and establish a smoother ending!
Poor move, hope you see the mistake you have made and bring it back. If not I hope another station will see what a good show it is. Tired of all the vampires, zombies and monsters. wake-up. If story line not good enough maybe you should have gotten new writers.
There are a lot of people out there who look forward to the next episode. Sometimes the majority does not always win. And the way Dallas players get out of the situation that they are in interesting…interesting… We look forward to something different to watch on TV and to the new and especially to the old fans who were anxious to see what has happened and changed over years, you do not have to think about their character because some of them you remember as children old. And the older characters we want to see how they deal with their… Read more »
I sure hope Dallas could come back on TV. I really miss it. I hope the powers that be hears this.
Bring Dallas back!
Great show, great cast, great fun!! You have to bring it back . If I was Don Colorone sp. I would make you an offer you couldn’t refuse but unfortunately I don’t have the kind of power that the Don had (may he rest). Please bring it back!!
It is to good to get cancel!!!never boring, great stories!!!
Bring it back PLEASE!!!
please bring Dallas back how can you stop it when you don’t know if
Chris dies or not that’s not right we have a right to know it was a good season please bring it back
Don’t cancel now….it’s just getting good!
I can’t believe your not going to finish it ?!
U have to bring it dallas back it’s brilliant. The ratings are probably down cos it’s on at mid night in the week day!!! We want dallas back please!
Please bring Dallas back. Maybe ratings were down because it was split up in two time periods. Maybe people lost track of when it was coming back. It was a great show!
Ditto.
Seems as if a final 2 hour show could have been done to end the series
right. Lots was left unfinished.
Hope someone relooks at this option!
I loved Dallas and the cast!! Bring the series back!!
C’mon folks, you gotta bring back the series. I didn’t miss one episode and recorded many of the individual shows. Its not fair to end a show without a least a good ending. When J.R. died, perhaps this should have been the conclusion of the series. Gotta bring it back for the fans!
I am very upset that Dallas is canceled WITHOUT doing an ending.
I have not missed an episode along with many of my friends. They
need to at least bring it back long enough for an ending. PLEASE!!!
Please bring Dallas back. We’re not gonna stop until you bring it back.
So…please…bring it back!
