Get ready for some dysfunctional family drama. No, not the real-life Lohans. We're talking the return of the fictional Ewings.

TNT's rebooted Dallas will feature the return of original series stars Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray.

The trio played members of the Ewing family, the oil rich dynasty whose characters made the prime time soap a huge hit. The revamped version of the show will again feature Hagman as oil baron J.R. Ewing, Gray as his wife, Sue Ellen, and Duffy as J.R.'s younger brother, Bobby.

So what do these '80s stars look like now? Take a look...

The original series ran from 1978 to 1991 on CBS. The new show will continue to follow the Ewings, focusing on the Ewing offspring, J.R.'s son, John Ross, and the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing, Christopher. The plot will focus on their battle over the future of the family fortune.

Desperate Housewives star Josh Henderson plays John, and Fast and Furious star Jordana Brewster will play Elena, who is involved in a love triangle with Christopher and John.

The updated Dallas has been in the works since 2002.
