Dallas Preview: Look Behind The Scenes Of TNT's Upcoming New Drama

If you’re looking forward to the return of Dallas next summer won’t want to miss this video. Production is underway on the series and TNT was kind enough to release a video that looks behind the scenes of the first episode of the revived series.

?While Dallas won’t premiere on TNT until Summer 2012, production started on the series last week. TNT released the following video, which features some of the cast, including Larry Hagman and Josh Henderson and a fair amount of footage from the new series.

Based on the original series, created by David Jacobs, Dallas is being filmed on location in Texas. The pilot was written by Cynthia Cidre and Michael M. Robin, both of whom will serve as executive producers on the series.

Larry Hagman returns as J.R. Ewing, whose plots and schemes over the years have threatened to destroy his entire family. Josh Henderson (Desperate Housewives) stars as J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing’s son, John Ross, who is determined to undermine his grandmother’s legacy by drilling for oil on Ewing land.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
