‘Friday Night Lights’ news keeps on coming
With the Season 4 premiere of “Friday Night Lights” less than two weeks away, lots of Dillon dish is crossing my desk.
First up is news that Executive Producer Peter Berg will direct the premiere — almost a series premiere of sorts because of the huge cast turnover. Berg has not helmed an episode since he directed the show’s 2006 pilot.
EW’s Michael Ausiello reports that former “Practice” star Steve Harris is slated to appear in about seven episodes of the upcoming season, portraying Vernon Merriweather, an ex-football star and the father of East Dillon newbie Jess. At the end of Season 3, Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) took the head coach job at East Dillon while his wife Tami (Connie Britton) remained Principal of West Dillon High.
“Friday Night Lights” premieres October 28 at 8 p.m. CT on DIRECTV’s The 101 Network and will show up on NBC in 2010.
Here’s a look at how that moody Season 4 trailer was filmed, with a few hints from the actors about what we can expect this year:
