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?
Bring it back. Some of us like this show instead of reality shows all the time. Please don’t take VH it away. I love the show.
If you want to save Dallas then post #SaveDallas on facebook and Twitter. Tell people what we are trying to do. They are watching those two social media sites to see people’s reactions to the cancellation!!! Make it count!
I just found out about this. It really sucks. I used to watch Dallas as a teenager. I watched every episode of the new Dallas. I can’t believe that they have cancelled it. They don’t give any cable show a chance now a days. What happened to changing the day it airs to see if things improve before cancelling it? How can you say 8 to 10 episodes is a season? People want more episodes in a season. I think they did a great job revamping this show considering the time distance between the old and the new.
I miss Dallas. Please bring it back on.
I loved watching Dallas every week. Please keep the show going. So exciting never know what was going to happen next. Kept you on the edge of your seat. Great show and actors. PLEASE SAVE DALLAS NOW.
I love Dallas! I would like to see a petition started to bring the series back!!
There is a petition called SavedDallas. Go to Twitter and do the same by entering #SaveDallas
I sure miss Dallas. I wish it was back on TV.
TNT must be losing their minds. Dallas is a great show and should be renewed. Also, please understand we all do not fit in your neat little box of demographics, but we should count too. They should make a channel designed for people who want to watch a show with substance and not the mindless crap that keeps getting renewed.
TNT: Just another bad decision. This was a truly gripping drama. Ok, so JR is not a
“character” anymore (God rest Larry H’s soul); his legacy still lives on.
Very disappointed. Oh, I guess we need another “reality” show, right TNT?
You need to keep Dallas going, I have been watching it since the first episode of the original series. This one is just as good, please keep it going.
It was a great show… they should have put it on a different night… too much competition for the type of viewers they are after. They never even advertised season 3 very well. Very disappointed that they let it end this way… I think they should at least have a proper send off with a 2 hour series finale.. if no other network is going to pick it up.
I love Dallas and will watch it on any channel!!!
Maybe another network can pickup season 4 of Dallas. I love Dallas. What a shame to cancel it. It is sure better than some of these realty series. It was one of the best shows out there. TNT Needs to reconsider. Really disappointed. Should air a different day than Monday, its competeing with the football season.
I miss Dallas. Please return it to TV. Any network will do. You can’t find a better show so why take chances? Go with the best.
What a shame to lose the best show on TV! I’m not a big TV watcher but absolutely loved Dallas…so much suspense and so well written…always left you sitting on the edge. I’m well passed the 18-49 demographic and have watched it since it started way back when. Wouldn’t think that demographic would be that interested anyway…a lot were not born yet when the original show was on. PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider…we desperately need this show back if for no other reason than to have a closing on what happens. Try a different time spot and advertise it more…most people didn’t… Read more »
Bring BACK. Why do you insist on a season ending cliffhanger, when you intend on canceling. There have been so many others that have ended with cliffhangers, that is why the ratings are down. None of the networks seem to feel they have to put a conclusion to their series. The least you could do is have a final conclusion or as someone else suggested a 2 hour season finale. Why should be become invested in any series, when all you are going to do is cancel it!
