‘Friday Night Lights’ Reboot in the Works

| The “Friday Night Lights” reboot is in early stages but is being shopped around Hollywood by the studio.

A new iteration of “Friday Night Lights” is in the works at Universal Television, Variety has confirmed with sources. Series showrunner Jason Katims is onboard to return along with executive producer Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment, with Kristen Zolner of Imagine also executive producing.

The project is said to focus on a new story with new characters set in the world of high school football, meaning original cast members like Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Gaius Charles and Jesse Plemons are not expected to return.|
