TNT’s Dallas is taking a page from the original series’ playbook to explain J.R. Ewing’s sudden exit.
According to TV Guide Magazine, the iconic villain — played by the late Larry Hagman — will be murdered by an unknown assailant towards the middle of the show’s upcoming second season. The plot, of course, harkens back to the show’s classic 1980 “Who Shot J.R.” cliffhanger.
“We all felt having J.R. die of natural causes would have been completely inappropriate, not only to the character, but also to Larry Hagman,” exec producer Cynthia Cidre told the mag.
Hagman passed away from cancer complications on Nov. 23 at the age of 81.
