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 love Dallas and cancelling on a cliffhanger really grinds my gears. Can you not do season 4 as a final season in order to tie up loose ends. I loved all 14 seasons of the classic Dallas.
Bring back Dallas!
Please don’t take Dallas off the air I grew up watching it with my mom and grandma now I watch it with my kids. I was so excited that you brought it back and to leave it on a cliff hanger is not fair. Please bring it back.
Very sorry to see Dallas come to an end! Yes I would definitely watch the show if there was a season 4. TNT has handled this event about as poorly as it could. As a result I can’t imagine a show that will inspire me to tune in to TNT. Perhaps a day will come when they will disappear the way Dallas has.
Again another example of wrong decission and bad timing of the same. If TNT was going to cancel it, then they should have decided it before last episode, givong the writers the chance to tie up all knots instead of opening new ones
Noooooooo! Someone pick up this show!
This is an amazing show. To leave it at such a cliff hanger is such a disservice to the faithful viewers. That is a sad, sad, horrible way to leave the viewers. TNT – it seems this was the most popular, non re-run/show from another network, you’ve had…
I’m devastated! I can’t believe it’s been cancelled….this show made my week and I’m completely heartbroken about the cancellation.
Please please please find a network to pick this up!
We need a petition…
This sucks. I think it’s an excellent show.
It’s probably a good thing it was cancelled because the writing was awful and the storylines were dreadful. It’s terrible what was done to a once wonderful show with a great cast. The cast of the new Dallas we poorly chosen because their acting was not very strong. Hated that the Ewing’s as a family were not portrayed as powerful people like they once were. Hated what was done to Pamela and John Ross. Wish they had recognized how dynamic this couple was. Hated the character Elena and Emma….Christopher’s character was necessary but they needed another actor. I could go… Read more »
