I would rather have Varsity Blues the series.

Much better idea. I would watch the hell out of this.

Whether he'd play Tim Riggins or a new character, 'Friday Night Lights' star Taylor Kitsch says he's been 'asked' and is open to the idea of appearing in the reboot. https://t.co/9sCStJEFAI

My wife is at The Paramount tonight in Austin for a Friday Night Lights 20th Reunion panel Q&A.

She has probably watched the OG show ep 1 - finale maybe 5 or 6 times.

The cast, showrunner, writers and directors that shaped the fictional town of Dillon reunite for a look back at the season that started it all, the show's indelible impact on Texas and TV, and why its characters, relationships, and motto ("clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose") continue to resonate so deeply.

A family friend had tickets and randomly invited her last weekend.

We live in Pflugerville, so we are aware of the first season (or at least pilot episode) being filmed at Pflugerville high school, but she even worked for Del Valle ISD. She got access to the old Del Valle High School field house where the later seasons were filmed and you could still see markered graffiti for Dylan High "CLEAR EYES. FULL HEARTS. CANT LOSE" and a J. Street autograph on the cinderblocks/lockers.

She mentioned that they said the reboot was more of a conversation than a done deal, so we may never see this.
