It's Official: Friday Night Lights Renewed for 2 More Seasons!!!

[HD MM]

Touch-freaking-down!

Sources at NBC are now confirming what I first reported earlier this month: DirecTV and NBC have come to terms on a deal that ensures Friday Night Lights will stick around for not one but two more seasons!

And I repeat: Touch-freaking-down!

Although NBC declined to comment, my Peacock insider says the pact guarantees that FNL will see a fourth and fifth season of 13 episodes each. Similar to this season's shared-window experiment, DirecTV will get first crack at the episodes followed by an encore run on NBC.

Let's get a chant going in the comments section! And while you're at it, pray that the show's creative mastermind, Jason Katims, finds a way to juggle both FNL and that prospective Parenthood series he's producing for NBC. Ditto director Jeffrey Reiner, who's attached to NBC's Trauma pilot. Losing one would be devastating; losing both would be a catastrophe. So how about we lose neither? You with me?

Thanks to DirecTV to helping save this show. Too many good shows out there are being cancelled for reaility TV crap. Now, maybe help out Kings?

Mods, if we need to move this to the DirecTV forum, so be it. Maybe that would be a more appropriate home for this news.

Either way, this is HUGE news for a great running TV series which I consider to be one of the very best on TV right now!

Amen! DirecTV and The 101 are lifesavers!

I don't see a problem with it being here.

I never got into the show, but for those that watch it, I am happy for you.

Thanks Ramy, I'm thrilled of this news!

It seems to have a cult following of fans and those that watch can attest to how great the show is!

Clear Eyes, Full Heart......... Can't Lose!!!!!!!!!!

Great show! I guess there really is a place for an intelligent television show.

I agree completely. I really like Kings.

I never got into the show. I think its one of those things were I missed the first couple of episodes and its hard to catch up.

DVD. I just started watching a year ago...went through the first two seasons in a matter of weeks

I've honestly never met someone who doesn't like this show.

It's even my wife's favorite show on TV right now. So, to the non-sports fans, don't let the "Football" theme turn you off. It's so much more to it than Football.

I am very glad to hear this. This is a very good show. I hope Chuck dont get axed.

Ah, another case of DirecTV going out and spending money on Sports programming that causes everyones rates to go up

I've seen some episodes- it is very good (Minka Kelly = fine-looking girl).
