A new version of the football drama series Friday night lights is currently in development at Universal Television for Peacock. The project is in the early stages of development and bringing back the show is something the network has been considering for years.
According to the report, this new project will tell a new story set in the world of high school football and feature an entirely new cast of characters.
The original series, inspired by HG Bissinger’s book and a 2004 film, was set in the fictional town of Dillon in rural West Texas.
The story explores the lives of a high school football team and the surrounding community in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas. The story centers on coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler), whose dedication to his team and the sport is both inspiring and challenging as he faces the intense expectations of a soccer-obsessed city.
With his wife Tami (Connie Britton), who is struggling with his own problems, the Taylors try to balance their family life with the pressures of their community.
Each episode explores the personal lives, ambitions and struggles of players, students and communities. The series was full of great characters and told a heartwarming story that captures the beauty and pain of small-town life and the impact of sports.
I’m a huge fan of the original series and good luck to anyone who wants to try to improve on what that series gave us.
The project is produced by Pete Berg, Brian Grazer and Jason Katims.
