Peacock Secures Reboot of Iconic 'Friday Night Lights' Series

The new adaptation will revisit Texas high school football with a fresh story, led by the original creative team.

The reboot will follow a Texas high school football team and their interim coach as they strive for a state championship after a devastating hurricane.
Original series creators Jason Katims, Peter Berg, and Brian Grazer will return to lead the project, with Universal Television producing.
The series will stream exclusively on Peacock, which won the rights after a competitive bidding war with platforms like Netflix.
The new story will not revisit the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, but will instead explore a new setting and characters in the Lone Star State.
The original 'Friday Night Lights' series, which aired from 2006 to 2011, was critically acclaimed and launched the careers of several notable actors, including Michael B. Jordan and Jesse Plemons.
