Sneak Peek TNT's "Dallas"

Sneak Peek a promo clip supporting TNT's contemporary continuation of the 1980's "Dallas" TV series. The network has greenlit 10 episodes of the new series, following the bitter rivalries and family power struggles in a Texas oil and cattle-ranching dynasty.

The Warner Horizon Television production brings together new cast members alongside the original "Dallas" series regulars.

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

Written by Cynthia Cidre ("The Mambo Kings"), the new "Dallas", will follow feuding cousins 'John Ross' and 'Christopher', the children of brothers 'J.R.' and 'Bobby Ewing', as they clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty.

Brewster plays 'Elena', daughter of the ranch cook, who becomes involved in a love triangle with Christopher and John.

Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy will reprise their roles of 'Sue Ellen' and 'Bobby'.

"Dallas" debuted on CBS in 1978, airing for 13 seasons, then translated into 67 languages for syndicated distribution to 90 countries, spinning-off ancillary toys, clothing and a daily newspaper comic strip.

Created by David Jacobs, the show's central character 'John Ross "J.R." Ewing Jr'., is a greedy, scheming oil baron.
