The series faced a rough start -- DALLAS star Larry Hagman, who reprised the role of J.R. Ewing in the show, passed away in 2012, just as the remake was getting underway. The reboot's plot picked up 20 years after the original series and also included original cast members Patrick Duffy and Lindsa Gray.

One of the most popular television dramas of all time, about the bitter rivalries and family power struggles within a Texas oil and cattle-ranching dynasty, DALLAS was originally famous for its ratings-grabbing cliffhangers, wealth, seduction, scandal and intrigues. Set in the big state of Texas, TNT's new DALLAS -- from Warner Horizon Television -- also lives life large and in the fast lane and brings a new generation of stars together with cast members from the original drama series.

The new DALLAS stars Josh Henderson (90210), Jesse Metcalfe (John Tucker Must Die), Jordana Brewster (Fast & Furious), Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) and Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives), and they will be joined by iconic stars Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing.

The original DALLAS aired from 1978 to 1991 and centered on the Ewing family, a cattle and oil dynasty occupying the expansive Southfork Ranch in Texas. A long and bitter rivalry between brothers J.R. Ewing (Hagman) and Bobby Ewing (Duffy) eventually led to J.R. losing control of most of the Ewing industries. In the new DALLAS, this explosive rivalry now lives on through another generation, with the future of the family fortune in the hands of the Ewing offspring: cousins John Ross Ewing (Henderson), the son of J.R. and ex-wife Sue Ellen (Gray), and Christopher Ewing (Metcalfe), the adopted son of Bobby. Brewster stars as Elena, who is involved in a love triangle with Christopher and John Ross. Gonzalo stars as Christopher's fiancée, Rebecca. And Strong stars as Ann, Bobby's wife.
