Connie Britton Says Peacock’s ‘Friday Night Lights’ Reboot Is “Barely On Her Radar”

Connie Britton is not expected to be part of Peacock's reboot of Friday Night Lights.

In a new interview with Parade, Britton said the reboot is “barely on her radar,” but she shared her hopes for the new cast to find a “sense of discovery there in terms of what they’re committing to and trying to accomplish.” However, Berg was “very persuasive” and ultimately convinced Britton to take on the role saying, “I really have to say, I worked pretty tirelessly with Pete, but then also with Jason Katims, who came in to run the show, really sort of standing up for the woman’s voice in that community, in that world.” Britton starred in Friday Night Lights throughout its five-season run alongside Kyle Chandler, Zach Gilford, Minka Kelly, Taylor Kitsch, Jesse Plemmons, Aimee Teegarden, and Michael B. Jordan.
