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?
Omg. We loved the new Dallas. We have been waiting for it to come back in. Dang. Not happy
So disappointed that the series of Dallas has canceled. I look forward to the series each year. It’s disgusting to me that all of these nonsense reality show have taken over the TV waves these days. So sad to see such a good show go. Yes, I would definitely watch it on another network if there’s another network willing to pick it up.
Please bring back Dallas. I’m tired of watching Wheel of Fortune. Which seems to be the best they can do these days. Don’t you think Dallas would be better? A little bit maybe, huh?
Dallas was the best show of the ones I watched period. I never watch TNT. Who does? I only watched TNT because of Dallas. Put it on another channel. Just like Family Guy…put it on another channel and bring it back! Best drama ever!
Gee, I just don’t know why they aren’t bringing back Dallas to TV. I really don’t. They’re gonna lose money on these new shows. With Dallas, it’s a gauranteed winner. So why take these chances? Bring back Dallas and it would make a heck of a lot of people happy.
I don,t see why they can,t renew season 4 of dallas on tnt any more they have every kind of other movie on tnt that is not worth watching dallas movies was worth watching on tnt tv thank you
PLEASE BRING DALLAS BACK! I LOVE this show and the cast. I wish there was something I could do to help bring it back. ONE of the BEST shows on TV! #1FAN. And all the many fans out there, DON’T GIVE UP! HELP bringDALLAS BACK!!!!
I LOVED DALLAS!!! I couldn’t wait for each ne season to see what twist and turn would happen next. I’m very upset that it most likely won’t be coming back. I tried to sign the online petition but was not able to. PLEASE bring it back!!!!! #1 DALLAS FAN!
WHY in the world would you cancel DALLAS? Please, Please, Please–the show is very good!
MONEY MONEY MONEY… You know why the greedy jerks didn’t make enough money? Did you see some of the lame junk they peddled on commercials during Dallas??? Thank heavens for the Fast Forward button. I’d like to tap on somebody’s head and say, “Oh by the way… the original Dallas wasn’t WAY UP in the ratings either, when it first started but they gave IT a chance, and the rest is history.” They were talking about cancelling it too, until the “Who Shot JR” phenomenon happened. I agree with everyone on here that said there is enough garbage on TV,… Read more »
Big mistake on TNT’s part! Split seasonwas not good and puting it on aginst higher rated shows was not such a good idea BRING IT BACK SOMEONE. PLEASE!!
They have to be crazy not to bring Dallas back. It has so many viewers and fans. Bring Dallas back! We’re waiting…
So disappointed Dallas is canceled. It was one of the few quality TV shows on air today. I think this Dallas could have been a huge success and the powers that be weren’t willing to give the series proper time to develop following the death of JR. I was a die hard fan of Dallas in the seventies and eighties nineties and wasn’t sure I would like to new series. didn’t even want to like it but there was enough of the old Dallas in place to make me want to try it and the next generation of the Ewing… Read more »
Why do you guys always worry about ratings.? It’s stupid!!! Yeah yeah I know and understand all about paying the sponsors. Here’s what’s wrong with TV today… Get the useless Housewives from wherever off the air… And many of the others not worth mentioning by name off the air! None of these shows, nor the remaining bizzillion reality shows have any use in our world today!!!! It’s mindless TV. So let’s talk about Dallas…. I was in my early 20’s when Miss Ellie and Jock ran the ranch… The show was/is iconic. Night time soap? – Maybe, but upside down… Read more »
I am very disappointed that Dallas is being cancelled. I wished they would’ve cancelled some of the reality TV shows instead of this. I really wished they would reconsider!!!!!
So sorry Dallas is canceled – interesting story & a great cast . There is so much junk on TV (stupid reality shows like Real Housewives of …..Werever…., etc.).
