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 am SO sorry Dallas won’t be back. I would like to encourage the powers that be to put the show on a mainstream broadcast channel, i.e., ABC, NBC, CBS, so that more people can keep up with it. I don’t have expanded cable, so I wasn’t able to keep up with it on TNT. Bring it back to a mainstream broadcast channel. The ratings will skyrocket as more people can tune in.
Dallas was awesome show my whole family used to watch it every week.I am soooo dissappointed it is not coming back .We have been waiting for the next season,it was pretty much the only show I watched,hopefully they will reconsider an bring it back.
We all want Dallas back. It’s flat out crazy to cancel a show that good. What the heck were you thinking? Were you thinking at all? C’mon and get smart and please all the fans and put Dallas back on.
I would like to see another season of Dallas, or at least a movie to finish the story. As long as Patrick Duffy, Linda Grey and Ken Kercheval are alive, willing and able to reprise those characters, I would be willing to watch more seasons. Even though nobody could ever take the place of JR, the young man who plays John Ross could be as evil and charming as JR, with a good writing staff. I certainly hope they don’t just leave us dangling. Seems like so many good shows get cancelled without providing an ending! It’s so unfair to… Read more »
Bring back Dallas
Very disappointed that it was cancelled. My husband & I are fans from original Dallas we never missed an episode. Reality TV has ruined television, it was so great to have a good dramatic weekly show to look forward to. We would watch on any night any channel (if we get it- we can only afford basic cable). We are hoping that it will come back. Great cast- good story- it was fun to see the old & new cast bring Dallas up-to-date & continue on w/the story. Why did it have to be on Monday (compete w/Dancing w/the Stars)-… Read more »
Dallas should come back to TV. We all miss it. Don’t mess with a great thing. You’ll never start something this good from scratch with these new shows. With Dallas, you have a gauranteed winner. So quit wasting time…get going with returning Dallas to TV. It’s a winner with gazzads of fans.
PLEASE BRING IT (DALLAS) BACK !! Love that Drama show
It shouldn’t have been cancelled, this show was a whole lot better than reality TV. Part of the problem could be the station it was on. Not everyone has a complete line up of satellite channels. I didn’t have TNT, I went to a friends house to watch it. Maybe Netflix would pick it up. How about ION channel.
I hate that Dallas got cancelled. Maybe put it on another channel
I am really shocked that the series is cancelled . Leaving those of us hanging should be your first clue. Maybe it’s not the show but the network decision making thats contributing to the true failure of the show itself. I am 57 years old , so I am also an old Dallas day fan. My heart is broken over the cancellation again. There are very few shows left to peak the interest of fans nowadays due to all the reality shows filling up the channels. Thanks for the few years you gave, but I hate the way you left… Read more »
I hate that Dallas will not be coming back. I hate when networks just leave everyone in limo. At least they could have had 2 or 3 shows to wrap it all up. I thought the cast was great and the plot was interesting.
Bring it back, it was intense. It would probably have done better in a different time slot. Monday night goes against a lot of established shows.
Really sad to cancel Dallas. Shouldn’t have happened. Please, some network, soon, pick it up. Sure would be nice to see it back on TV. Heck, darn nice. Bring it back, please.
I was so looking forward to a new season of Dallas. I am really disappointed! BRING IT BACK, PLEASE!!!
