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 would love to see Dallas back it is a very good show just like it was before.
I loved this show, and except for a couple of shows, I don’t follow any. I will really miss Dallas.
I would like to see Dallas back on TV. It is the best TV show I have ever watched.
I am extremely disappointed that Dallas has been canceled. I thought it was an excellent show. As a matter of fact, it was my favorite show. Why not do a final season with a series finale. The show, the cast and the fans deserve that much…don’t you think?
Ya know Kim…With Dallas, there has been so many endings and movies and deaths and back to life’s and even a whole season that was a dream. Let’s face it, there’ll never really be a finale for this show. And that makes me sad that I’ll have to wait and wait for the next movie length show. At least I hope they’re thinking that way. They could never keep Dallas down. So I hope that’s the case now. And that we have more Dallas drama in the future. I hope for that anyway. I sure miss Dallas 🙁
I still want to see Dallas back on TV. At least a few movies maybe?
I was SOOOOO upset to hear the rumor of this cancellation! The show was so wonderful and ended with such a cliffhanger that I really didn’t believe it when I heard it wasn’t coming back. This is my FAVORITE show. PLEASE bring it back!!!!
very sad that DALLAS has been axed hope they will change their minds really great show
please reconsider stopping Dallas IT IS A REALLY GREAT SHOW
I LOVE THE NEW DALLAS TV SHOW WITH SOME OF THE OLD DALLAS ACTORS AND THE VERY TALENTED YOUNG STARS PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER SERIES
I still want to see Dallas on TV. I will watch this show as will millions of others. What’s wrong with these TV people? Don’t they know anything? I mean , you make a great show and put it on TV and sell ads. Instead they put on junk shows that nobody watches. Can’t figure that out.
I can’t believe they cancelled this show! Please reconsider!!!! They should get rid of some of these reality shows (seen enough Kardashians, honey boo boo, housewives etc.).
I think they should let it air a fourth season please reconsider this is a good show every show has a bump or two but the history of this show and the new generation is good so please give it another try or have another network pick it up
I’ve heard of the defeat…So let’s try making movies like Star Trek did and say foo-ee to the TV networks.
Please do not cancel show it is a fantastic show I am a massive fan of Dallas and I am currently watching reruns of old Dallas for the hundredth time please reconsider
Worst news ever!!!! This was MY favorite show to watch! I love All the cast members and the writing was crazy insanely good. What a total drag. I know I never watched the show as it aired weekly…I set my DVR to record episodes….. so I cld fast fwd thru commercials or watch on Tivo….I wonder if people watching thru their DVR recordings and Tivo, projected lower viewers when in fact viewers actually paid to subscriptions to watch uninterrupted. ..like I did.
Please bring back Dallas.
Disappointed to hear this news! I surely hope TNT/Time-Warner will reconsider!
