Promotional teaser of the new Dallas cast

Dallas is an upcoming American drama television series that revolves around the Ewings, a wealthy Texas family in the oil and cattle-ranching industries. The series is a continuation of the original series of the same name that aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991, and is not a reboot. It will include several actors/characters from the original series, though will focus mainly around John Ross Ewing III and Christopher Ewing, the now-adult sons of Ewing brothers J.R. and Bobby respectively.

The series is being made for TNT, sister company to Warner Bros. Television, which has owned the original series since its purchase of Lorimar Productions (the original show's production company) in 1989. On July 8, 2011, after viewing the completed pilot episode, TNT gave a greenlight for the series with a 10-episode order, which will premiere in summer 2012.[1][2]

Plot

The series revolves around the Ewings, a wealthy Dallas family in the oil and cattle-ranching industries. It will focus mainly on John Ross Ewing III, the son of J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing; and Christopher Ewing, the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing.[3] Both John Ross and Christopher were born during the original series' run and were featured in it as children. Now grown, John Ross has become almost a carbon copy of his father, bent on oil, money and greed. Christopher, meanwhile, has become a lot like Bobby, in that he is more interested in the upkeep of Southfork Ranch, much like his father and his late grandmother, Miss Ellie.

Besides Bobby, J. R. and Sue Ellen, other familiar characters including Lucy Ewing (J. R. and Bobby's neice) and Ray Krebbs (J. R. and Bobby's half brother), will also return. Ken Kercheval, who played J. R.'s nemesis Cliff Barnes, is also set to guest star in a multi-episode arc in the upcoming series.[4] New characters include Bobby's new wife, Ann Ewing (played by Desperate Housewives star Brenda Strong).

Development and production

In 2010, TNT announced it would order a pilot for the continuation of the Dallas series.[14] The pilot was filmed in and around the city of Dallas in early 2011. The remaining nine episodes in the first season order are currently being shot in Dallas as well, based in studios constructed for the FOX television series The Good Guys.[15] Production began in late August 2011.[15]

Executive producer Cynthia Cidre wrote the pilot script, while Michael M. Robin served as the director and executive-producer for the pilot. The pilot script is based on characters created by David Jacobs.[16] A sneak preview of the series, including clips from the pilot episode, aired on July 11, 2011, during an episode of TNT's Rizzoli & Isles.[2]
