It was enough for a show to be pitched and bought by NBC based on a similar premise, but that show only lasted two years before NBC cancelled it due to low ratings.
Suffice to say, remaking Friday Night Lights is a bit of an odd choice.
Due to critical acclaim, this is when DirecTV stepped in and saved the show and additional seasons were produced.
Still, the series was never a big money bringer, either, which is why it’s a little surprising anyone is trying to make this project happen on the big screen… again.
