Friday Night Lights

Expanding on the hit feature film “Friday Night Lights,” this poignant series centers on the small rural town of Dillon, Texas, where the coveted state football championship rings are held in the highest regard. Dillon’s promising high school team, its star quarterback, and newly appointed head coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler, “King Kong,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) feel the mounting pressure of the town’s pride and honor riding on their shoulders as a new football season kicks off.

The fresh cast also includes: Scott Porter (”The Bedford Diaries”) as team captain and first-string quarterback Jason Street; Gaius Charles (”Book of Daniel”) as feared running back Brian “Smash” Williams; Taylor Kitsch (”Kyle XY”) as running back Tim Riggins; Connie Britton (”The Brothers McMullen,” “24″) as Taylor’s supportive wife, Tami; Zach Gilford (”The Last Winter”) as third-string quarterback Matt Saracen, and Minka Kelly (”What I Like About You”) as Lyla Garrity, Panther cheerleader and Street’s girlfriend.
