TNT will be heading back to “Dallas” for a third season. The cable network has ordered 15 episodes of the rebooted drama and will bow the new season early next year.
“‘Dallas’ has built a passionately loyal following with its expertly woven storylines, clever twists and turns, and numerous outstanding performances by a cast that spans generations,” said Michael Wright, prexy and head of programming for TNT, TBS and TCM. “Although we said goodbye to Larry Hagman and his iconic character J.R. Ewing this year, ‘Dallas’ has many more stories left to tell.”
Program, from Warner Horizon TV, debut strongly on the cabler during its frosh run in 2012, but experienced a dip in ratings during season two. Second season of “Dallas” did, however, see an uptick in ratings towards the end, and averaged 3.8 million viewers in Live+7.
