TNT Renews "Dallas" for Second Season
6/29/2012

TNT is going back to "Dallas".

The network on Friday renewed "Dallas" for a second season.

The reboot is averaging 6.9 million viewers to date, with the Turner-owned cable network ordering 15 episodes of the drama set to air next year.

"'Dallas' has been a success for us on every level: pitch-perfect writing, smart directing and buzz-worthy performances by a new generation of stars and their iconic counterparts," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).

"With 'Dallas'' top-flight ratings, robust growth through time-shifted viewing and the extensive online buzz, it's clear the Ewings of Southfork have once again captured the imagination of viewers."

So far this season, "Dallas" ranks as basic cable's No. 1 new series. The Warner Hrozon Television opened to 7.8 million viewers when factoring in Live +3 data to its June 13 two-hour premiere.

The series gives TNT the No. 1 new show on basic cable for the third year in a row, behind "Rizzoli & Isles" (2010) and "Falling Skies" (2011). The series was considered a big bet for TNT and came with an established audience with fans of the original '80s run tuning in to revisit characters including Hagman's J.R. Ewing.

I don't know why. They're losing viewers most every week.

It's just a shadow of the original which was legendary!
