Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Larry Hagman's final role; he died during production of season two, and the show incorporated his death into the plot.
The 2012 revival deliberately mirrored the 1980s original's premiere timing during a presidential election year, banking on nostalgia for Reagan-era excess.
