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 used to watch Dallas with my grandma and now my 16 year old son and I are faithful fans. I just saw that TNT cancelled the show and am heart broken. We are heartbroken that we wont have yet another generation of lying, cheating and blackmailing. What a shame.
I am extremely disappointed and really would like to see Dallas back on again maybe with CBS or some other station. Never understood why they were not placed on a network like CBS or one of the other common networks to begin with. I think they qualify in my eyes. I hope to read about a nice surprise announcement of Dallas coming back on another network in the near future!!!
Here we go again, another one of my favorite TNT shows that bits the dust. As stated in my post regarding Perception going bye-bye TNT making big mistake. The network could at least bring it back for a few episodes to give viewers closure instead of leaving us with a cliffhanger.
Good idea! At least finish off the cliffhanger episode with one or two more to have some sort of closure.
I 2nd that… Bring back Dallas. This show is miles above the others in quality and fan support. It’s my favorite show and would like to see it back on as long as they want to still film it…and they do! Don’t look to these cheapo reality shows as a replacement… No one watches that stuff anyway. So bring back Dallas, please.
I would watch Dallas on another channel as long as my cable co. Had it available!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! :=)
If not TNT why not bring back on Netflix as a series
The show was awesome. I watched old Dallas and loved new Dallas as much. Put back on
I have watched Dallas for years. When Dallas was brought back on the air I thought it would not even come close to the original. Boy was I wrong. It was just as good and exciting and kept you on you on the tip of your seat. Then Christopher gets killed off. Now what are we viewers supposed to do. Nothing ticks us off more is for a series to do that. Dallas has plenty of plots going on that kept their viewers interested. I absolutely loved Dallas, but I am so saddened that this has been cancelled. Please bring… Read more »
