NBC announced in December that a 'Friday Night Lights' reboot with a new cast is in the works at Peacock Connie Britton is sharing her thoughts on the Friday Night Lights reboot. The actress, 58, reflected on her time starring on the original drama series during an interview with Parade for its March cover story.

Friday Night Lights premiered on NBC in 2006 and followed a high school football team in rural Texas. After two seasons, the show was canceled but was saved by DirecTV, which ran for three additional seasons ending its run in 2011.

Connie Britton, who played Tami Taylor on Friday Night Lights from 2006 to 2011, hopes the cast of Peacock's upcoming reboot finds the same "sense of discovery" as she and her costars did during the series' five-season run.
