It’s Texas forever — again.
Universal Television is in early development on a new version of Friday Night Lights, its critically acclaimed drama revolving around a Texas high school football team. The original series ran for five seasons, from 2006-11, on NBC and DirecTV’s 101 Network.
The original show’s executive producers — Pete Berg, Jason Katims and Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment — are involved in the new version. Sources say the reboot would focus on new characters rather than returning to Kyle Chandler- and Connie Britton-led cast of the original.
Universal TV declined comment.
More to come.
