Now, James Van Der Beek tells Yahoo that the TV idea has been shelved, with an eye to following up on the original film and apparently seeing where all the characters have ended up following their time as high school football stars.
The television idea was an unsurprising one considering how successful Friday Night Lights was on TV, the series was also based on a film of the same title and dealt with high school football.
While recent indications had been that we were on the verge of more Varsity Blues, the last thing we heard was that a television reboot of the property was what was being planned.
