Kiefer Sutherland and Josh Holloway are reportedly being lined up to star in the upcoming reboot of Dallas.

TNT announced plans last month to bring back the classic soap opera based around a Texan oil family, and Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy are believed to be on board to reprise their roles as JR and Bobby Ewing.

The new version will apparently focus on John Ross, JR's son, and Christopher, Bobby and Pam Ewing's adopted son.

24 star Sutherland and Lost actor Holloway have been linked to the roles of the two brothers, while Ghost Whisperer's Jennifer Love Hewitt and Heroes' Ali Larter are wanted to play their respective partners, reports the Daily Mail.

TNT's Michael Wright said: "This is not a remake as much as a continuation. It takes the next generation of Ewings and continues the battle."

A pilot episode will be shot in the New Year.
