American publication TV Guide was the first to announce the news, and reports that Hagman is to go ahead with reprising his role as super baddie JR Ewing in a Dallas revival which will air on the TNT network.
Hagman turned 80 last month, and in a statement said:
As JR I could get away with anything… bribery, blackmail and adultry. But I got caught by cancer. I do want everyone to know that it is a very common and treatable form of cancer [...] Besides, as we all know, you can’t keep JR down.
Hagman underwent a liver transplant in 1995, after years as a heavy drinker.
