\n\tA potential reboot of Friday Night Lights<\/em> is staying within the NBCUniversal family.<\/p>\n

\n\tPeacock has won a bidding war for the project, which is now in development at the NBCU-owned streamer. Universal Television, which produced the critically beloved 2006-11 series<\/a>, has been working on a new version of the show, but it wasn\u2019t set up at a network or streamer before now.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new version will reunite several key members of the original show\u2019s creative team: series creator and pilot director Peter Berg, showrunner Jason Katims and executive producer Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment. All three will exec produce the reboot, along with Imagine\u2019s Kristen\u00a0Zolner, with Katims again serving as showrunner.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe logline for the new FNL<\/em> reads, \u201cFollowing a devastating hurricane, a ragtag high school football team and their damaged, interim coach make an unlikely bid for a Texas high school state championship, becoming a beacon of light for their town.\u201d That descript<\/a>ion would likely move the new project out of the original show\u2019s fictional locale of Dillon, Texas, which \u2014 based on all evidence from its five seasons \u2014 was not situated along the state\u2019s Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

\n\tFriday Night Lights<\/em>\u00a0was inspired by a 1990 nonfiction book by H.G. \u201cBuzz\u201d Bissinger about the football team at Permian High School in Odessa, Texas. Berg directed and co-wrote a 2004 feature film adaptation of the book before creating the series, which ran on NBC and DirecTV\u2019s 101 Network. <\/p>\n

\n\tKyle Chandler and Connie Britton headed the cast of the original, starring with Jesse Plemons, Taylor Kitsch, Zach Gilford, Minka Kelly, Gaius Charles, Scott Porter, Aimee Teegarden, Adrianne Palicki and Michael B. Jordan, among others. The show was a launchpad for a number of the actors who portrayed students and football players.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series was never a breakout hit \u2014 hence the network-sharing agreement between NBC and DirecTV for seasons three through five \u2014 but it was a critical favorite with a cult following. Friday Night Lights<\/em> won three Emmys, including best lead actor in a drama for Chandler and best writing for a drama (Katims) in its final season.<\/p>\n
