‘Friday Night Lights’: two more seasons announcement imminent, says EW
According to the blog post, the show will lose Minka Kelly and Adrianne Palicki, who will each get multi-episode sendoffs before saying goodbye to Dillon for good. That worked out well for Gaius Charles and Scott Porter, who each had very satisfying character arc endings in the current Season Three.
We’re sad to see them go, but have a feeling that the cast members of the show won’t be strangers to Austin.
I’ve seen the rest of Season Three (hey, I’ve got DirecTV, what can I say?) and the transition to Season Four is going to be one of huge changes for Coach Taylor and his family, as well as the Dillon Panthers. No spoilers, but trust me: it’s going to be a very different game next year. Expect to see lots more new characters at the start of Season Four. It sounds like the two-season deal would be the same as what happened with Season Three: shows would air on DirecTV first as it shoulders part of the production costs, then air later on NBC. I’m extremely biased, but that sounds fine to me.

I'm who you would least expect to watch this show; however, I think this is definetly the best show on TV in many many years. I've never seen a character as real as Coach Taylor and his wife. Great show, keep it up writers.

Too bad those girls will be gone. They kept it interesting this season. I too have Direct and folks are going to be real surprised to see what happens to coach Taylor and Dillon in general.
