The show will be a continuation of the popular 1980s soap, which followed the various troubles of the Ewing family over the course of 14 seasons between 1978 and 1991.
Collider have claimed that the Fast & Furious actress has been cast in the role of Elena, a character who becomes involved in a love triangle with original character J.R. Ewing's son John Ross and Bobby Ewing's adopted son Christopher.
It is believed that some of the original Dallas actors, like Larry Hagman and Linda Gray, will reprise their roles for the new series.
Full casting details for the reboot have yet to be announced, but the show is believed to begin later this year.
