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 am very disappointed! Perhaps we should all petition Netflix to pick it up, like they are doing for Longmire?
I’m floored I can’t believe its not coming back!!! I would watch if it went to another station!
Please RECONSIDER and KEEP Dallas. If any other station picks it up, we’ll watch Dallas there. TNT will be the loser of its best program. Us seniors (60, 70, 80’s) probably watch more TV than those younger you seem to cater to.
It would be great if they brought back Dallas. Why they tanked a winner like this, I’ll never know. I miss this show and hope they bring it back on any network.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! ! ! THIS CAN’T BE TRUE ! ! ! My Sister-and-Law and myself Love this show, we are so disappointed with this news. We don’t care what channel you put it on WE WILL WATCH IT ! ! ! Please Please Don’t take away our Dallas we have watched it ! ! ! Both series the first one and this last one. Please Don’t do this tragedy to the public, please just take off one of those reality shows that suck.
I Love this show. I’ve been waiting for its return. I’m so angry that TNT is not renewing. Please bring back this show. I’ve never missed an episode, Dallas was great to watch
It was awesome! So disappointed!
We couldn’t wait for the next shows to come on tv. I think they need to reconsider the cancellation
Don’t care what channel it’s on, just bring it back.
Extremely disappointed that Dallas will not be returning. It was well written and one of my faves.
I think it’s sad that they canceled it I loved it it was the best
I would watch Dallas on any channel it played on. I have watch everyone of the shows old Dallas and the new Dallas. I could just cry. I can’t believe this.
I am so very disappointed in TNT canceling Dallas…it was one of the best shows on all of TV. I am so going to miss it. I am from the generation of the original Dallas and because you had some of the original cast it blended the two generations together nicely. Shame on you TNT. BRING it back! Please.
TNT cacelled one of the best and longet running shows on TV. I’ve been a Dallas fan since it began. Dallas is the only reason I found to watch TNT. I hope a better network renews the show. I and many others will be very happy for its television return.
I never want to see the series end again. I was good with the plots as well as the twists .So many things going on at same time.
