A potential reboot of Friday Night Lights is staying within the NBCUniversal family.
Peacock has won a bidding war for the project, which is now in development at the NBCU-owned streamer. Universal Television, which produced the critically beloved 2006-11 series, has been working on a new version of the show, but it wasn’t set up at a network or streamer before now.
The new version will reunite several key members of the original show’s creative team: series creator and pilot director Peter Berg, showrunner Jason Katims and executive producer Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment. All three will exec produce the reboot, along with Imagine’s Kristen Zolner, with Katims again serving as showrunner.
