Dallas is an American prime time television soap opera developed by Cynthia Cidre and produced by Warner Horizon Television. The series is a continuation of the original series of the same name that aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991, though it does not follow the events of the TV movies Dallas: J.R. Returns (1996) and Dallas: War of the Ewings (1998). Executive producer Cidre serves as showrunner. Other executive producers include Bruce Rasmussen, Michael M. Robin, Ken Topolsky and Bryan J. Raber.
Dallas centers on the Ewing clan, an enormously wealthy Texas family whose sibling rivalries, romantic betrayals, corruption and even murder are truly legendary.
The drama brought back three iconic stars from the original Dallas: Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing, Linda Gray as Sue Ellen Ewing and Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing. They are joined by the next generation of Ewings, who take ambition and deception to a new level. Josh Henderson is John Ross Ewing III, the son of J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing, while Jesse Metcalfe is Christopher Ewing, Bobby's adopted son.
