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 am just so pissed! We got a new DVR so I’ve been trying to reschedule all my favorite shows. I figured it was about time for Dallas to start up, so I did a search and found it has been cancelled. WHAT MORONS! I’ve been patiently waiting for the new season. GRRRRR!
I agree
I am so disappointed!!! My husband would even watch it with me & finally I had something good to watch other than sports!! We even went to Texas & visited SouthFork just last summer. I had watched with my mom & the spin off was great. I already miss Dallas. Please bring it back.
I agree I looked forward to every episode they weren’t coming on TV fast enough for me
I love Dallas and cannot believe they cancelled it I finally found a good show to watch and it gets cancelled and all the stupid reality shows stay on the air I just don`t get it. Bad move TNT…
My husband and I are VERY disappointed that TNT will not be airing Dallas Season 4!!!! We always looked so forward to watching the show, we would actually get really excited about it!!!! I hope the writers will put out a book or something for the avid followers of Dallas. If they did, you can guarantee, I would be the first one RESERVING a copy to read!!! It was the best show that I had seen in a long time!!!! 🙁
I have watched Dallas from the being. I thought the new Dallas was a great run off. Please
Bring it back.
Shame on you TNT! I really enjoyed Dallas and thought that it was well done and a wonderful continuation of the original Dallas series. If TNT had to end the series, I would have liked at least one or two more episodes to “tie up loose ends”. This series will be missed by me. And I would watch it on another channel.
I hope you TV Execs are reading these emails. There are a whole bunch of people that want Dallas back on TV. It should have never been taken off. TNT…bad move…
I hope now is that some network with class will bring it back on.
Please do not cancel Dallas.
I am saddened by the decision to cancel Dallas on TNT. The story lines were fresh & the actors very talented. Please reconsider. Thank you
absolutely agree loved it loved the characters love the direction of show was going in it pulled me in every week
Back in the day when there was only one TV in our house, my sister and I had to watch what mom and dad chose. Fridays it was Dallas. It became our family thing. I get warm fuzzies just hearing the theme song! I miss JR and secretly wish, Pam would come back. Josh was getting freakishly more and more like JR. Every now and then I’d see JRs maneurism… and bobby a little more evil (dont do it bobby!) Linda is still awesome but can’t anymore remember to hide the booze? I still enjoy the series and hope to… Read more »
I was devastated when they cancelled the show! And it was on a high in my opinion …I watched the show as a young girl and its simply classic. I think the writers did an excellent job recapturing the story line and continuing the legacy. I wish it would come back and I would definitely watch it on another channel. I haven’t watched anything on TNT since!
I am very disappointed that Dallas is being cancelled. I live that show and will like for season 4 to continue. Several other people in my family wish for Dallas to continue also.
Bring it back,
Irma
i would absolutely watch I love the show
I will not be watching TNT again. The network must be full of morons…what was a breath of fresh air and a break from moronic reality shows was cancelled and no GOOD reason given.
oh I so agree with you that’s all that’s on TV is this dumbass reality shows this TV show drew me in every week I waited on the edge of my seat for the next week to start so I can watch it can’t believe another good show is cancelled
