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?
One of the best TV shows EVER-in 1978 AND NOW! I would definitely watch it on another channel!
Loved round two just as me as when it aired the first time. Was hooked again. My whole family watched. It’s a crime that it was not renewed. I really hope some network picks it back up. Bring it back.
Definitely would watch on another network!
Please show Dallas on a different channel. It was really good, and so many shows these days are just too dumb to watch!
My husband and I watched it every week!!! Bring it back on another channel!!!!!!
I am devastated that Dallas has been cancelled. All the actors did a fantastic job and the storylines were superb. I was always on the edge of my seat the entire time the show was on. As a viewer of the entire original Dallas series, I was so excited to see that some of the original characters would be on the show. The new characters were great also. I don’t believe that viewership was down. Everyone I know watched the new Dallas. As some other commenters have stated, I am sick of reality shows. I can’t believe that you are… Read more »
I want it back
I will miss Dallas. If it is picked up by another network, I will definitely want to watch the continuation of the Ewings and all of their dealings.
Dallas is the best. Please bring it back to TV. It shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I recently have went through to see what shows are to be cancelled and I was angry when I seen that TNT had cancelled “Dallas”. As said by many viewers that is it not graphic enough and I am so so sick of reality TV shows. It would be nice to have a show that actually carries on generations for not only do viewers like myself been a long time fan of this show but it took on younger viewers also. And that is not only the only show that has been cancelled that was very well written. But do… Read more »
why would you cancel one of the best shows on TV? I would definitely watch it on another channel. TNT shows repeats of everything bn but they cancel one of the best shows. I really hope they put it back on.
Please don’t cancel Dallas! It’s just as good, if not better than the original. PLEASE bring it back!!!
I watched every single episode of the original Dallas and was so happy with the new Dallas. My husband and I watched it every week…it was our date night show!! Of course I miss JR but the show was good even after he was gone. I am so upset it is cancelled…I will no longer watch ANY shows on TNT!! I would for sure watch it on ANY channel.
What???? Dallas cancelled.. Ridiculous!! One of the better TV SHOWS…. YES.. TV SHOW… on network TV!!!!!
I can’t believe you cancelled the show. I love Dallas. I guess its not graphic enough. Poor decission. I’m done with TNT!
