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 agree, Dallas should not have been canceled. They say it wasn’t ‘edgy’ enough. Complete horse pucky. Dallas was head and shoulders above those so called edgy shows. They’re edgy because they’ll soon get the ax from TNT too. This network is simply too edgy…actually it’s quite unstable. I hope another network brings back Dallas and treats it right…for us viewers and fans.
Come on! For most of us who grew up watching this show with our parents, this is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! I LOVED THIS SHOW. Frankly speaking, this show was the only reason I even watched TNT anymore. I HOPE YOU GUYS FIND A NEW HOME TO BRING DALLAS BACK!!
So sad they canceled. Was really enjoying the show and thought it was well done. Another good one out the window…
Really disappointed that Dallas has been canceled by TNT. I was looking forward to the new season. Please bring it back!!!
I was just wondering why no previews were coming up soon . But no avail. I cannot believe how they do there rating all you have on there is junk. Please bring it back.? I loved the show very quick in getting to the point I thought it was well scripted.
It was a great show. Moved very fast. I looked forward to watching it every week. They should have promoted the show a little more. It’s sad. At least we got to see JR one last time. Bobby looks the same!! Great cast. Maybe someone will pick it up.
I’m very disappointed to hear that TNT cancelled Dallas. I have been watching this program since the beginning and was looking forward to Season 4. It would be great to give the viewers one more season to wrap up the many great story lines. Shame on you TNT!!!!!
I am so upset, I was so looking forward to it coming back on and now I feel terrible. It would be so nice for you to just have one more season, so that we can see the finale and tie up some loose ends in our minds, instead people like us who did watched, it have to be left with nothing. Like a previous comment I am also 54 and was brought up watching the original and this one was so much better, what a shame, it’s all about the ratings (money). Please, please bring it back!
I am so upset, was so looking forward to it returning again. Why can’t they just bring it back and let us have some kind of closure, after all we did watch and keep it on for three years. Please, please bring it back, at least for one more season!!!!!!
I thought the series was awesome. How stupid to cancel it. So many people I know watched it faithfully. What is wrong with TNT?
I can’t believe the show has been cancelled. I remember watching the original when I was younger. I’ve been waiting on the new season to start. I even kept last season in my DVR so I could go back and watch right before the new season started. Very disappointed.
What a stupid thing to cancel Dallas. Best show on TV and some knucklehead at TNT cancels it. Fire that guy and bring back Dallas please.
This was a great show. As a fan of the original, this series didn’t miss a beat. I am disappointed that it has been canceled. Yes, I would definitely watch it on a different channel.
Finish the show after you killed off Christopher, not fair to loyal Dallas viewers, give us final closure at least. Yes I w I uld watch on another ne tr work as long as I was notified what network the show would be on.
I loved the show….was waiting for the next episodes .Shame on TNT
