TNT has released a new extended trailer for its updated Dallas series, which premieres next summer and continues the exploits of the Ewing family of Southfork, the oil dynasty first made famous in the classic primetime soap of the 1980s.

He’s well known for playing tough and intimidating characters like Ned Stark in Game of Thrones and Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and even as the bad guys in Patriot Games and GoldenEye, he’s as much known for his intensity as he is for his often spectacular death scenes.
