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 think that canceling the show without properly ending all of the questions that were left unanswered is not fair.That was the part I really enjoyed.. Bring it back for a finale then cancel if you think the ratings are that bad.. I would watch it on a different channel. TNT has many other shows which should be cancel
My wife and I love the show Dallas> We would have to be home by 10 p.m. on Friday nights for the original show, now the new one is gone don’t do this bring in back.
I’ve been a faithful follower since day one of both the new and the original long running series. I have my children watching with me now. We would support it on any channel. Please bring it back. I am sick of the dumb reality shows that are all over the tv now. I don’t want to watch the over exaggerated reality shows. I want to watch a show that has great actors and actresses like Dallas. Please renew.
Please someone pick up this awesome show. I have been watching Dallas since I was young. There is so much unfinished! I pray it will come back on.
Sure wish you’d bring back Dallas. My favorite TV show. Please bring it back
Please don’t cancel Dallas!!! It is my favorite show. I loved growing up watching the original. I was waiting in anticipation for the premier. so disappointed to read it may not be back
the reason the ratings went down in each consecutive season is because TNT didn’t show any re-runs to keep the viewers interested and then they didn’t do any commercials or do anything to promote the new seasons. Look at the first season ratings, isn’t there anyone who can see what TNT did wrong? Yes, I would watch Dallas on any channel, I’m so sick of the mindless, boring reality shows.
PLEASE PICK UP DALLAS FOR A FOURTH SEASON….THE VERY BEST ON TV
Please, please don’t cancel Dallas!!! Who do i write to?? Dallas was great the first time & even better the second!!! I would watch it on any channel!
Please don’t cancel Dallas! I’d love to see it on one of the national channels: ABC, NBC or CBS! The story lines have been great; the characters deliver every time. Too many things are left open. Christopher can’t be presumed dead!
I think that they should at least have one last season…and if it’s the last..resolve everything thats up in the air. If they are going to stop…they should stop with all doors closed. I really enjoyed seeing dallas resurrected and hate to see it go so quickly….
Please bring back my favorite show. Dallas!!
Yes I would watch it on another channel. I liked the show and sad it isn’t on any more.
“Dallas” was one of my favorite shows! I watched all the old shows & enjoyed the new ones with some of the main characters. Please bring it back!
Please someone pick Dallas up. Im very upset they need to get rid of some that reality foolishness I wanted to see what kind of drama John Ross having a sister would bring although I was sad Christopher possibly died. Nooooooo
