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?
Super sad about this. Was an awesome show was really looking forward to season 4. Loved Emma and John Ross.
I watched the old Dallas faithfully for years. It was an excellent show with great writers, story lines, and a great cast of actors. I looked forward to watching every week. When it came back on three years ago I was thrilled. And by the way what’s wrong with people over 49? We watch TV too and in fact probably more than those younger. If it gets picked up by another station I will watch it. Please think this over some more and bring it back.
Really you can cancel a classis but we can renew annoying “reallity” shows. I hope another network has some common sense and will pick up the series. I agree with Craig lets all email CBS and get Dallas back to its original network!!!!
Please bring it back, What is wrong with TNT. They need to cancel Rizzole aand Isles.
Bring back Dallas………..NOW!
Well maybe if there were more advertising for it, more people would have watched it. The only reason I know it’s on, is the DVR is set to record it for me. I am heartbroken, can’t leave us hanging with Christopher last seen in the car that went kaboom. It’s not the show’s fault the network didn’t advertise this series! This was some of the best writing ever, beat Dynasty, Knots Landing and rivaled the original Dallas! I am sad and heartbroken, I hope if there is another network to pick this up, PLEASE ADVERTISE IT SO I DO NOT… Read more »
please bring it back my whole family loves this show
one of the best shows on.
has the best writing, directing, and acting imo.
very much enjoyed this series just like the original series.
TNT is crazy to cancel this show.
This series is what keeps me going from week to week. I have been wishing that they would even bring back the old Dallas and start it from the beginning so I could see it all over again. Please they don’t make tv like they use to. I think that Dallas is the only series on now that my husband and I AGREE ON watching. We need one of the Dallas’s to be on.
This was the only show I looked forward to on tv! In fact it was the only show I watched and enjoyed! I don’t understand how the ratings could have fell, because it was better than ever! I wish another network would pick it up so it could continue. I still can’t believe TNT did this! It really hacks me off! Good luck TNT, because I’ll never watch your station again!
This is tragic!! I sincerely hope the execs at TNT see all of these comments and realize what a huge mistake they have made. Please let this show continue to run, even on another network. I agree with a previous post about a petition. Where can we start an online petition? Reality TV sucks. Let’s bring back shows with suspense and a storyline!!
This show was indeed one of the best series on TV today. I think TNT is making a colossal mistake cancelling this show. But if TNT can’t see the value and the treasure that Dallas is to television then I would pray that another network would continue this great franchise.
This is totally wrong….Dallas reboot had some of the best writing, story lines, and talent…what must TNT be thinking…..Time to call CBS and bring the show back to its home network and Friday night time slot. You can’t leave your loyal fans hanging! If nothing else close it down with a three episode special…
I am truly heartbroken! My sister just called and told me to sit down…she knew how much I loved this program! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
Omg noooooo! I grew up watching dallas with my father and we were extremely excited to watch this new one …. Its sooooi good i pray that another station picks it up because it is defnetly worth watching… Infact other than american horror story this is the only primetime show worth watching!!!
i love the show and i hope another network picks it up the new shows this fall are awful predictable and boring
Fingers crossed that someone picks up the show. So sad:(
I will stop watching TNT if the cancel this series or if another network picks it up I will be more than happy to continue to watch Dallas Season 4, seriously TNT I am sick of all the crap you do play and finally something old but refreshing starts and you choose to yank it…..believe me the reruns of Law and order or CSI are sooooo boring…keep Dallas or lose your audience.
