Connie Britton and Zach Gilford smiling while sitting in the stands in a scene from Friday Night Lights
Summary Friday Night Lights star Zach Gilford discusses gathering the cast for a possible reunion. Gilford has recently been portraying the villainous Elias Voit in the Paramount+ crime drama Criminal Minds: Evolution. However, his breakout role came with the sports saga from creator Peter Berg. Gilford portrayed Matt Saracen among the Friday Nights Lights cast of characters.
I think everyone would be totally down to do it if it made sense. The spirit of that show, I think what elevated it was sort of the authenticity of it. And if it clearly was just, let’s get the band back together, it would seem cheesy and contrived and that’s not that show. If there was some story that made sense—I don’t know, I’m not pitching anything here. Well, if someone died, we’re all back in Dillon, that’s dumb. I’m not a writer anyway. But we all love each other. We’re all friends.
In explaining the scrapped Friday Nights Lights follow-up, Berg candidly shared that he didn't think it would be a good idea. He told Collider at the time, “I’ve come to believe it’s probably not a good idea and I seriously doubt it’s gonna happen.” Berg has made the same overall remarks about why there isn't a Friday Nights Lights reboot or spinoff.
