More Information
Friday Night Lights is an American serial drama television series adapted by Peter Berg, Brian Grazer and David Nevins from a book and film of the same name. The series details events surrounding the Dillon Panthers, a high school football team based in fictional Dillon, Texas, with particular focus given to the team's coach, Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) and his family. The show uses this small-town backdrop to address many issues facing contemporary Middle America.
Produced by NBC Universal, Friday Night Lights is broadcast by NBC. Premiering on October 3, 2006 with an initial order of 22 episodes, the show was eventually picked up for another season. NBC would go on to renew the show for a full 22-episode second season after the first season was completed and Season Two episodes began airing on October 5, 2007. Only 15 of these episodes were completed before production was stopped due to the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike, leading to speculation that the show might be canceled. However, the show was renewed for a 13-episode third season; episodes began airing on DirecTV's The 101 on 1 October 2008 and will be rebroadcast on NBC in the winter. To date, Friday Night Lights has aired 44 episodes, with 50 episodes airing in total when the third season concludes.
Subject to multiple timeslot changes, Friday Night Lights has yet to obtain a sizable audience. The show has, however, been a critical success and was featured on a number of critics' top ten lists following its first season as well as being identified twice by the American Film Institute as culturally significant. Lauded by critics for its realistic portrayal of Middle America and deep personal exploration of its central characters, the show has been awarded a Peabody Award, an Emmy Award, and a Television Critics Association Award.
