Dallas is an American prime time soap opera developed by Cynthia Cidre and produced by Warner Horizon Television, that aired on TNT from June 13, 2012, to September 22, 2014.

The series was a revival[1] of the prime time television soap opera of the same name that was created by David Jacobs and which aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991.

On July 8, 2011, after viewing the completed pilot episode, TNT gave a green light for the series with a 10-episode order,[3][4] which premiered on June 13, 2012.

[15][16] Various other characters from the original series also make appearances, including Audrey Landers (Afton Cooper), Cathy Podewell (Cally Harper Ewing) and Deborah Shelton (Mandy Winger).

Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark, who first appeared on Dallas in the late 1970s before joining the spin-off series Knots Landing, also return as Gary and Valene Ewing.

New main characters that made their appearances in season one included Bobby's third wife, Ann; Christopher's new wife, introduced as "Rebecca Sutter" but later revealed to be Pamela Rebecca Barnes, the daughter of Cliff Barnes and Afton Cooper; and Elena Ramos, the daughter of Ewing family cook Carmen Ramos (Marlene Forte), who is caught in a love triangle with Christopher and John Ross.

The main focus of the season 1 is the discovery of oil reserves on Southfork by John Ross and attempts by him and his father, J.R. to wrest the land from Bobby.

Production began in late August 2011 in Dallas on the remaining nine episodes in the first season order, based in studios constructed for the Fox television series The Good Guys.

David Jacobs reviewed Cidre's pilot script and gave his blessing to the new series though he has chosen not to participate in its production.

A dispute erupted when the opening credits were originally planned to read "Developed by Cynthia Cidre, based on Dallas created by David Jacobs".

[39] Cynthia Cidre, Bruce Rasmussen, Michael M. Robin, Ken Topolsky and Bryan J. Raber served as executive producers for the show.

The season 3 titles feature the return of the iconic threeway split-screen opening, similar to those used in the original series for its first 11 years, with moving images of the actors.
