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?
Dallas was a terrific show, both my husband and I were very upset that there won’t be another season . It was an excellent show.
I am so bummed that the show has been cancelled! I’ve been anxiously waiting for the new season to start. I still have the last episode on my DVR as I planned on watching it again just before the new season started. I also have the episode of “JR’s MASTERPIECE” still recorded and loved seeing the veterans who came back for that one. Was hoping they’d make another appearance. My heart is broken!
Please bring it back
TNT gets bad karma for cancelling Dallas. They thought they couldn’t make it without JR.
That’s BS. Still head and shoulders above the other shows. The other shows will get the TNT ax too. That’s the way TNT operates. Sorry network. I hope a better network picks it up.
We need to have Dallas back on TV.
I want Dallas back. I would watch it on any channel that it played on. they need to leav good and not cancel them. another tv station does need to pick this back up or tnt needs to give other chance
The state that TV is in now is really amazing. The garbage they air and the great shows they don’t. More shows? Yes. Choices to watch…not much. Bring back Dallas please.
That sucks was looking forward to this season.
I grew up watching Dallas and was very excited to see it return, than some D.A canceled it and did not even think enough of the veiwer to at least have a final episodes. What chicken ***** after all the good years all the veiwer support it.
What a cruel joke one site said that CBS was picking up Dallas for Season 4 but it was only an April Fools prank. Reading that article made so much sense until the end when it revealed April Fools ha ha ha. Man, what a stupid thing to cancel a show like this. I was so disappointed to see this as a prank. They should pick Dallas up again. CBS would be an excellent choice for a network.
I love Dallas and watched it faithfully every week. I was very disapointed when I learned the show was discontinued. I hope another network will be willing to pick it up and continue the series.
Your crazy for canceling DALLAS. It was a great show. It was starting to get interesting again. With all the new shows out there,it could have picked back up if they put more thrill into it like the first two seasons. I miss it.
I’m very disappointed to learn that Season 4 of the ‘New Dallas’ has been cancelled. My mother-in-law and I watched Dallas every week back in the +/- 80’s of the Original Series. When we learned Dallas was coming back, we both were on the phone with one another comparing notes and excited about the next week’s episode.
Please reconsider Series 4 of the ‘New Dallas’.
I can’t help but to wonder if it would be aired on local TV, you would have a greater viewing audience. Everyone doesn’t have cable or satelite to watch TNT.
Omg! Whyyyyyy? That’s not fair!!! I was looking forward to seeing it. I grew up on it…please bring it back!
I really like the new version of Dallas why did they cancelled it?
Wow, why take Dallas off, smh
This series was just as good as the original. I was looking forward to season 4. Shame on TNT for not picking it up another season. I am sick of bad TV filled with those junk so-called reality TV shows. Dallas was what TV was invented to be, pure entertainment.
Why are they even thinking about cancelling the show. I love this show. I record it on my DVR so I make sure I don’t miss it. My grandmother & I watched Dallas when I was young & now my child & I watch Dallas together. I remember when when the big thing was “who shot Jr.” Man I have so many memories that have something to do with Dallas. Please do not take it of the air. It keeps us on the edge of our seats. My daughter every week its on says I can’t wake til next week.I… Read more »
