The second season of "Dallas" will kickoff in January. TNT said the upcoming season will hold a funeral for the iconic character portrayed by the late Larry Hagman, who died of cancer complications in November at the age of 81.

The Associated Press reported that the J.R. Ewing funeral will be aired at some point in the 15-episode season but it hasn't been filmed or scheduled yet. 

The producers of the show are now crafting a proper sendoff but are mum on how J.R. Ewing will die in the series.

Hagman, who reprised his role for the TV reboot, was able to finish filming six episodes in "Dallas Season 2" prior to his sudden passing.

Season 2 of "Dallas" will premiere on TNT on January 28, 2012.
