J.R. Ewing is officially receiving a proper send-off.

In the wake of actor Larry Hagman’s November death, TNT has begun planning arrangements for an on-screen funeral for his Dallas character, the network confirms. Presumably, familiar faces from the long-running soap will come out of the woodwork to pay their respects to the iconic TV villain, but no guest stars had been set at the time of publication.

The 15-episode second season of TNT’s reboot is set to kick-off on Jan. 28, at 9 p.m. The funeral episode has not yet been filmed, nor is there a scheduled airdate, but Hagman had completed filming six episodes of the new season at the time of his death.

The season one finale found Hagman's J.R. involved in a new and improved alliance with estranged son John Ross (Josh Henderson), plotting to bring down Ewing Energies and -- as a result -- Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) and Elena (Jordana Brewster).

Hagman died of complications from cancer over Thanksgiving weekend. He was 81. Though it is still unclear how much his death has affected filming, it will not have an impact on the January premiere.

Following his death, Hagman's on-screen wife Linda Gray recalled meeting the actor at a table read in 1977, as well as her final deathbed conversation with her co-star and friend, in an interview with THR. Read the story here.
