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’m still hoping you’ll bring back Dallas and give this show the proper series finale. Do right by your fans and stop canceling quality shows.
Bring it back,,,,,
Bring it back
Very upset I love Dallas both new and old. I want it back/
Ya who don’t went it back ant right at all
Very disappointed, can’t believe they did this.. They at least should have done a final episode. Hopefully another network will pick it up.
Totally disappointed. My wife and I religiously watched this series. We truly liked the plot/storylines, acting, etc. I guess now my only hope is that the show would be picked up by another channel, etc. I see the stats/demographics mentioned in the article, but I for one disagree. Kudos to the writers, actors, etc. Job well done…..I would love for them and the show to come back on another channel.
Dallas will be missed I loved it
I too am very disappointed. I was a fan from the first episode in 1978 and loved the new version. The fans are never the priority….unless maybe they are between 18-49? I hope we learn what was going to happen to Ewings and all the characters…at least what was already planned/written. How about a TV Movie? If/when it does great in the ratings, they can continue to make a couple movies each year? I want to know what happens to the characters I love and the others that I love to hate.
I’m so disappointed that Dallas is cancelled after the 3rd season!! I can’t believe it. I think you would have seen more favorable results if a demographic group of ages 55+ – 65+ had been used. This group is made up of viewers of the original series, and are loyal fans, and our voices should count. Please reconsider and give a 4th season a chance.
Dallas was about the only good show they had on and to leave off and be cancelled where it was at – well TNT I cancelled you – other channels with better shows and I hope some other network will pick up DALLAS
Do not cancel Dallas. This show transcendes generations. The acting, the plot, the actors all bring together an energy that brings an excitement watching and waiting for a program each week. If it is money, if it is the time slot, if it is network…….work it out. We have enough trash reality on TV……, but we do not have enough quality drama.. Having a wealthy family experience the real life of everyday is refreshing. Bring back Quality TV. Bring back quality reality TV. The writers are awesome. The actors are awesome. I could not wait for the next episode. Please… Read more »
I am soooo disappointed!!!!!!! I watched this show when I was a kid and watched it 1st , 2nd and 3rd seasons. I am a die hard and love love this show, it’s very entertaining and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The writers are awesome and so are the actors! I loved the old crew and love the new one even better ! Wouldn’t care what channel unless it was another channel I had to pay for to watch.
I am so bummed!!! I’ve been looking for it on TNT Guide for weeks now and cannot believe that they would cancel this awesome show! I had doubts about watching it when it first aired but finally got on board in the second season and now I am hooked! So Christopher dies/hated that but I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a Dallas “comeback” like when JR was killed but then came back in the shower scene and it had all been a “dream”… Please get it back on the air somewhere!!! I never watch TNT, no… Read more »
Are you kidding me? Cancelled?!? You’re looking at the wrong demographics. Most of the folks you are targeting weren’t even around during the first series. I’ll be viewship for the 55-75 year old was high. Please bring the series back. The new cast and the original cast members complimented one another. I’m sure Larry “JR” Hagmann is turning in his grave….
What!? I can’t believe they cancelled Dallas! I would so watch it on another channel if they were to move it.
Ive been looking for DALLAS in the new season! Verh very disappointed!! Love the new series! BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
