IF the option was to continue (although I think a reboot is more likely and makes more sense at this point), I'd continue from TNT. I think enough time has passed that it could be done in such a way that's introduced basically like it's a new show.

Is anyone seriously talking about another sequel series?
A reboot with other actors won't work.
I'd pick up where the TNT show left off in 2014 -- with a different show runner, everyone living back at Southfork, Sue Ellen in the attic, and we learn Ann was in Christopher's car when it blew up (thanks to Mama Ryland, naturally).

I don’t know if they are, and even if they are I’m not sure what everyone here would want (even if we could come to agreement) would work to pull in desired new viewers. But I’m curious, could I come to some sort of consensus idea for this most loyal fan base?

There were just whispers here a few weeks ago, but one didn't know to take them seriously.

Seriously? No. Just as a fun hypothetical thought-experiment to pass the time on a message board? Sure.
I disagree. I look at shows like Billions and Succession, and even House of Cards before that, and see how a modernized take on Dallas could succeed. I think it could work, depending on multiple factors. But even if it ultimately doesn't work, it's a more likely possibility that someone will try to do that, rather than another continuation someday.
And that's the thing, new viewers would have to be the priority for any new series, for it to even have a hope to succeed today.
I seriously doubt it, as even just going by these forums discussing the fans here often have wildly different views about what they liked about the original series. Thus a consensus about what they'd want to see in a continuation is impossible.

Hey @stevew - these threads you've started are great, and will hopefully prompt a lot of discussion.
The mods have had a chat and would like to give the polls different titles to distinguish them apart. Would you have any titles in mind or are you happy for me to go ahead and change them? I also think there may be more interest in each thread if they had their own titles.

Sure you guys know the site best. What ever you think works.
In my opinion it would probably be a reboot which I don’t want. But if it was a continuation it would need to be 3rd generation interacting with 4th generations to draw these new audiences. But having said that, there should be a way to also appeal to fans of the original as a base audience of a few million if done right. So I’m just curious about the feelings of that base.
