On November 14, 2024, Universal Television announced plans to reboot Friday Night Lights, the popular high school football drama that aired on NBC and The 101 Network between 2006 and 2011. Slated to tell a new story in the fictional town of Dillon, West Texas, the original cast members, led by Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, are not expected to return, a move that could alienate fans who loved the show.
