Friday Night Lights Gets End Date

Sad news for fans of East Dillon, as NBC has told the cast and crew of Friday Night Lights they are free to sign with other shows following the production of the fifth season, which is shooting right now, more or less signifying an end to the critically acclaimed show. Due to the shows trick arrangement with DirecTV and NBC, however, some FNL fans might not get to see the final new season until the Spring of 2011. Production is set to wrap on the show in June or July, with it premiering on DirecTV in the fall. Hopefully we’ll get to see more from the show’s phenomenal cast, especially Connie Britton and Eric Chandler.
