Friday Night Lights is all set to return with clear eyes, full hearts, and no chance of losing as Peacock has reportedly been commissioned a reboot for the sports drama series. The show, created by Peter Berg, who also directed the movie version of the original book back in 2004, focused on the Dillon Panthers football team and the journeys of its players.

The show was well-received upon release and was even nominated for Emmys, including for Outstanding Actor, Writing, and Casting, all of which it won. Chandler won the Emmy in 2011 while Connie Britton, who played Tami Taylor, was also nominated. The reboot has been in the making since 2024, with Peacock outbidding Netflix for streaming rights.

Taylor Kitsch is opening up about the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to him at an audition.

The 44-year-old actor was a guest on Today With Jenna & Friends on Tuesday (August 5). During the episode, he revealed to Jenna Bush Hager that he once had an embarrassing accident on his way to an audition!

Taylor shared the story while appearing on the talkshow alongside his Terminal List co-stars Chris Pratt and Luke Hemsworth.

“I [went to] this coffee truck when we were shooting in L.A. I was in L.A. living out of my car, and I’d get all of these crazy auditions, like, four in a day, and I needed a strong coffee,” Taylor recalled during the episode. “I’m having it, driving to the audition, I’m sitting in the waiting room just like this, and I s–t myself. No joke.

Fresh off his first Emmy nomination for The White Lotus, Jason Isaacs is heading to Texas — 1974 Texas, to be exact — for the upcoming hostage thriller Eleven Days. Isaacs will star alongside Taylor Kitsch and Diego Luna in the tense indie drama from Parkland and Concussion director Peter Landesman.

Based on the real-life Carrasco Prison Siege, Eleven Days unfolds during a sweltering Texas summer when ruthless prisoner Federico Carrasco (Luna) seizes control of Huntsville Penitentiary. Isaacs plays Father Joseph O’Brien, a prison priest who steps directly into harm’s way, joining forces with Texas Department of Corrections head Jim Estelle (Kitsch). By offering himself as a hostage, O’Brien hopes to outmaneuver Carrasco and save the lives of the other captives trapped inside. The screenplay, written by Kevin Sheridan with revisions by Landesman, adapts William T. Harper’s nonfiction account Eleven Days in Hell: The 1974 Carrasco Prison Siege at Huntsville, Texas.

Exclusive: Hot on the heels of his first Emmy nomination for The White Lotus, Jason Isaacs has come aboard to star opposite Taylor Kitsch and Diego Luna in Eleven Days, the indie hostage thriller from Parkland and Concussion helmer Peter Landesman.

The film takes place in the sweltering heat of a Texas summer in 1974, watching as ruthless prisoner Federico Carrasco takes control of the Huntsville Penitentiary. The prison’s priest, Father Joseph O’Brien — played by Isaacs — joins forces with Jim Estelle (Kitsch), head of the Texas Department of Corrections, by entering the eye of the storm and offering himself as a hostage to out-game Carrasco and his men, in an attempt to save the lives of the other hostages that have been taken.

Script is by Kevin Sheridan with revisions by Landesman, based on the book Eleven Days In Hell: The 1974 Carrasco Prison Siege at Huntsville, Texas by William T. Harper.

Before we go any further, one big question: why did Friday Night Lights really have to end? The critically acclaimed Texas-set drama, which followed the highs and heartbreaks of a small-town high school football team in Dillon, aired its final episode in 2011.

Despite its devoted fanbase and multiple Emmy wins, the show literally teetered on the edge of cancellation due to low ratings. Of course, NBC pulled the plug after two seasons, but thanks to a Hail Mary deal with DirecTV, Friday Night Lights ran for three more seasons before it officially ended.

Today, it’s been 14 years since we last heard Coach Taylor give one of his iconic pep talks, and guys, we might hear it very soon again. While a Friday Night Lights movie was teased by Peter Berg, sadly, it was off the table. Fast-forward to 2024, Peacock outbid Netflix for rights to a full TV reboot with Og showrunner Jason Katims.

Taylor Kitsch is sharing an update on the Friday Night Lights revival series.

The 44-year-old actor played the role of Tim Riggins in the original series. Unfortunately for fans, Taylor says that he won’t be reprising his role for the Peacock revival series.

According to Taylor, he was asked to return for the upcoming series but he turned the role down. Instead, the actor has been focused on a more important venture in his new home of Montana!

Taylor was asked by TheWrap about the upcoming series while he was at an event promoting The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.

When the publication asked if Taylor had heard anything about the upcoming Peacock series, he said, “I was asked to do it. Umm, yeah, I’m not going back. No.”

Taylor previously moved to Montana and has been focused on building a nature retreat.

“Friday Night Lights” is coming back, but the Panthers will have to play on without Taylor Kitsch in their corner.

At a press event for “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf,” TheWrap asked the series star about the upcoming “Friday Night Lights” revival for Peacock. Kitsch, who played Dillon Panthers Fullback Tim Riggins in the original series, said he was aware of the show.

Even though he was asked to come back, however, audiences will not see Kitsch take the field any time soon.

“I have to ask you about ‘Friday Night Lights,'” TheWrap told Kitsch.

“The 19-year anniversary or something, is that what you’re talking about?” Kitsch asked.

“I’m talking about the creative team from the original ‘Friday Night Lights’ is coming together with Peacock,” TheWrap clarified.

“With [EP and showrunner Jason] Katims?” Kitsch asked.

“Yeah, for a new ‘Friday Night Lights’ reboot,” TheWrap said. Kitsch shook his head. “Have you heard anything about it?...

Based on a 1990 novel of the same name by H. G. "Buzz" Bissinger and a 2004 film adaptation of said novel, Peter Berg's series "Friday Night Lights" is, ostensibly, about a scrappy Texas football team who overcome the odds after losing its star player to a traumatic injury right out of the gate. It's actually about the people living in Dillon, Texas, and the football of it all is simply a way to bring all the characters together. With Kyle Chandler as the unflappable and stern but big-hearted Coach Eric Taylor — whose loyal and loving wife Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) by his side along the way — the series became a massive critical success, despite the fact that it never drew a humongous audience during its original run, particularly after its second season was affected by the 2007-08 writer's strike.

Ever since its premiere in 2018, True Detective has become one of the best anthology series on TV. With new suspense, themes, and atmosphere in each season, the show has unraveled four different mysteries, some of which are known for their noir style and great performances, while some miss the mark.

However, despite that, each season delivered its best with its stellar cast, story, acting, and great execution. Still, there has been a progression with every season that affects the audience’s reception and their status as the best, making some emerge as the best, while others remain disappointing.

There's nothing like a good thriller that'll have you on the edge of your seat.

Chris Pratt kicked off the year by starring in The Electric State, the critically panned sci-fi film that cost over $300 million to make. 13 years ago, he starred in a forgotten rom-com that just got a disappointing streaming update.

With tones of True Detective and a visually stunning aspect akin to Yellowstone, Untamed is a six-episode drama full of twists and turns. Aside from the central murder mystery, Turner and his ex-wife, Jill (DeWitt), are still dealing with the death of their son years prior, including the secrets linked to his fate.

Set in the high-stakes world of Formula One racing and funded by Apple in collaboration with the F1 brand, the well-reviewed sports drama is already the highest-grossing movie to be produced by a tech company.

It’s another goal that Apple has beaten its competitors to, after winning the coveted Best Picture Oscar some years ago for Coda. With over $125 million domestically and around $360 million at the global box office, F1 has overtaken hit...

Taylor Kitsch sure has a thing for Texas. After getting his big break in Peter Berg’s beloved football series, Friday Night Lights (which was based in West Texas), and more recently heading back to the Lone Star State to play cult leader David Koresh in Paramount’s Waco, he’s at it again in a feature-length production titled Eleven Days. The indie hostage thriller, helmed by filmmaker Peter Landesman, is set to film in Texas later this year. Unlike the movie, which takes place during a particularly brutally hot summer, cameras are set to pick up for this project in September.

Eleven Days will turn the clocks back to the brutally hot Texas summer of 1974 where audiences will meet Kitsch’s Jim Estelle. Jim is the head of the Texas Department of Corrections, and a no-nonsense man at that. But, he meets his match that sweltering summer when Federico Carrasco,...

The Terminal List, Chris Pratt's divisive action thriller series on Amazon Prime Video, is currently surging up the U.S. streaming charts even though season 1 was released back in 2022. Pratt, who has starred in blockbuster franchises such as Jurassic World and the MCU, also recently starred in Netflix's adventure epic movie The Electric State.

While Pratt is primarily a Hollywood movie star, he has appeared in a handful of notable TV series dating back to his breakout role as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation. His conspiracy thriller series The Terminal List, based on the book by Jack Carr, received a 94% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and has risen to the #6 spot on Prime Video's streaming charts in the U.S.

Why The Terminal List Is So Popular 3 Years After Its Release Its Prequel Series Dark Wolf Will Be Released In August

The Terminal List is currently at #6 on...

The Terminal List has re-entered Prime Video's top ten this week, three years after its breakout premiere. There's renewed interest in the TV show, all thanks to its gritty action and compelling performances.

The Terminal List is sixth on Prime Video's top ten shows as of July 6 (per FlixPatrol), seventh overall in the streamers' most-watched movies and TV series. Based on Jack Carr's namesake novel, part of The Terminal List's appeal is in its straightforward premise: US Navy Seal James Reece (Chris Pratt) suspects foul play after a botched operation that endangers the lives of his family in the aftermath. Season 1 followed Reece as he hunted down everyone on his hit list, exposing the dark forces pulling the strings.

The Terminal List is loosely adapted from the novel, which is only the first installment in Carr's James Reece series. Series creator David Digilio took creative liberties with the source material,...

Peter Berg's 2012 would-be blockbuster "Battleship" was doomed from the start. The film was based on the popular Hasbro board game of the same name, wherein players attempt to guess the coordinates of their opponent's battleships on a hidden grid. The game boasted no characters or plot beyond that, however, making a feature film adaptation seem foolish by design; it's not so different from the idea of making a "Kool-Aid" movie, as seen in the satirical TV series "The Studio."

And it turned out to be just as disastrous as it sounded. "Battleship" was a massively expensive affair, sporting a budget of (by some reports) up to $220 million. Despite this, it was terribly unpopular, grossing $65.2 million domestically and $313.5 million overall. It was also reviewed very poorly and currently boasts a decidedly "Rotten" score from hundreds of critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The film's premise is thin, and its characters are uninteresting.
