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 would like to see Dallas return for another season. If it is determined the show must go then at least have a decent finale instead of leaving it as you did.
Oh no!!! I loved Dallas!!! Please pick it up, somebody. Netfix? Amazon? Anybody? I’ve gotta have my Ewing fix!!!
Dallas is great TV. Why don’t the TV execs realize this? They offer crap instead that no one watches. They’re missing the boat here by not bringing Dallas back.
Could not believe the show has been cancelled. I never watched the original. This show was exceptional. Will miss very much
Loved this show. BRING IT BACK!
Such a shame to cancel Dallas. It’s an instutution. I at least hope they will make some movies. That should show the ratings people a thing or two. TNT was a bad network to have Dallas I think. Their treatment of this show was not good. I hope another network steps up.
TNT sucks. I can’t believe the ratings were not as good as the previous year. it seems like wherever you went people were talking about it. bring it back on a real station like ABC or NBC or CBS TNT a bunch of fly by nights
Just rewatched the series on netflix. Bring it back…i am hooked
Please bring Dallas back! I would watch on any channel!
So disappointed the show was canceled. Need a new station (abc). Many of my friends didn’t know it was on TNT. Please bring back on another station. It was the best series. Watched it many years ago
