DIRECTV and NBC Universal have extended their partnership to produce two more seasons of Friday Night Lights. All 26 episodes of the fourth and fifth seasons of the critically acclaimed and award-winning drama series will air first exclusively on The 101 Network, only on DIRECTV.
Executive-produced by Peter Berg, Friday Night Lights centers on life in Dillon, Texas, where high school football brings the community together and the drama of small town life threatens to tear it apart. The past school year brought a wave of change to Dillon, including the arrival of the affluent McCoy family, Joe (D.W. Moffat, "Grey's Anatomy") and Katie (Janine Turner, "Strong Medicine") and their freshman son, rising star quarterback J.D. McCoy (Jeremy Sumpter, "CSI: Miami"). With the loss at the State Championship, seniors preparing for graduation and Coach Taylor's job at stake, the residents of Dillon will see some changes in the upcoming school year.
Don't miss the season premiere this fall to find out what happens.
The series will air first exclusively on The 101 Network, available only on DIRECTV. Stay tuned.
