Dallas Sequel Series Looking To Get JR And Sue Ellen

TV Guide Magazine is reporting that Warner Brothers has contacted Larry Hagman and Linda Gray to reprise their roles of J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing in the new Dallas sequel series. The new show, which is in development for TNT, would focus on their son, John Ross, and Pam and Bobby’s son, Christopher.

“I know we wouldn’t be the central part and I never accept anything until I get a script,” says Hagman, 78. Linda added that she would refuse to play Sue Ellen if she were back on the bottle or wearing frumpy clothes. “I’m not going to wear little boring dresses with pearls around my neck,” jokes Linda, now a 69-year-old grandma. “At this age, Sue Ellen should be a powerhouse role model. Don’t mess with Texas, honey!”
