When we last saw Riggins in the series finale, he was building a house with his brother Billy (Derek Phillips) as they toasted each other and said “Texas Forever.” To calm our minds, we’ll assume Tim and Tyra (Adrianne Palicki) are living happily ever after in that house, far from the bright lights of a reboot.
Though Kitsch won’t be involved, FNL producer Brian Grazer recently insisted that there’s more high school football drama to come.
“We’re working on another Friday Night Lights movie in Del Rio, Texas on a border town that takes place in 2015,” Grazer told Collider in November 2021, “and hope to be making that the beginning of next year.”
Not only that, he said the movie “will lead us into a new series that takes place in a more recent time…like now, today, and we’re excited about it.”
