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?
That was the best show and I can’t believe they cancelled it when there are some stupid shows out there and they took off a good one. A lot of people probably stopped watching because it took so long for them to go on to the next season. I’m very unhappy.
I would like for Dallas to come back on because I enjoyed the show and the cast I been looking at Dallas when JR was on the show a long time thumb up I give the show a 10.
This is so horrible & tragic how
Dare they not make any more
Seasons of one of my favorite shows!!!
TNT sucks for cancelling Dallas! They finally air a show that is worth watching and the idiots cancel it. I say fire the executives who made the decision not to renew the show!
I WOULD HOPE that TNT would , get their act together, and put the season 4 on the air. It is too bad, that they are not listening to the viewers
Was wondering when the new season was going to start and when I checked, found out it had been canceled! So sad to hear this, as it is one of the best dramas on television. I would definitely follow to another network.
I quit watching TNT because they canceled a very good Dallas series
If you really want people to watch a show on your network, bring back Dallas. Just think of all the viewers you could have. There are legions of fans out there for this show. Good for you, good for us.
Why is it that all the good shows get cancelled??? I’ve been wondering when the new season was going to start and now I know why it hasn’t yet. I would definitely follow this show to a different network!
I’d rather watch Dallas than most of the shows on TV. The people responsible for cancelling Dallas should be put in that Mexican jail with Cliff.
I am ver disappointed that Dallas has been canceled, Again, I watched Dallas as a young teenager and Loved it then as I do now. This makes the 5th show I love that has been canceled in the last 2 years. I’m done with TNT… And a few other networks that bring in Great shows then just as you start loving the show BAM… They cancel it. I truly hope another network picks up Dallas….
Best series ever, bring it back. The only show, that i looked forward to watching.
I followed the original series, all those years ago also.
My wife and I have waited anxiously for the 2015 premier of Dallas. We are extremely disappointed that it has been canceled. We loved the story line. It was very exciting to us, just like the old days. I hope some network will pick them up so we can continue to enjoy the Ewing family. The writers were doing one heck of a job. Now we ‘ll never know if Christopher was inthe car that blew up. What a waste. I hope TNT live to regret their decision to cancel this great series. We are very disappointed.
I would definitely follow the show to any network that might pick it up. I watched the origional and have watched the new version and absolutely love it. If I could offer a bit of advice, figure out how to advertise and let us know when and where it is airing. I missed part of a season because I didn’t know it had started airing.
What a damn shame! This is the reason why I don’t invest in TV shows anymore. I was really counting on TNT to throw us more than 3 short seasons. I waited until the second season was a definite and THEN watched the first. I got hooked and continued to watch and recommend the show to friends and here we are again…….disappointment! What a sad waste of talent both old and new.
