Dallas has been renewed for a third season.

TNT has commissioned 15 new episodes of the Patrick Duffy-starring series to begin airing in early 2014.

Michael Wright, president of TNT, expressed excitement for the new episodes, saying: "Dallas has built a passionately loyal following with its expertly woven storylines, clever twists and turns, and numerous outstanding performances by a cast that spans generations.

"Although we said goodbye to Larry Hagman and his iconic character JR Ewing this year, Dallas has many more stories left to tell, and the Ewing clan will continue to honor JR's memory by keeping its audience surprised and delighted."

The renewal of Dallas came just two weeks after the shocking second season finale aired in the US.

Dallas star Duffy suggested earlier in April that the show would likely be picked up because it had maintained a loyal audience.
