😒 so a continuation, not a reboot if it's in the same universe

donnahayes.bsky.social•104 days ago

I would watch! But coach should stay!

kgboo1.bsky.social•104 days ago

Top show

cntyflam.bsky.social•103 days ago

Whyyyy? There’s no need, the og show was perfect. We could have new stories with new casts

mikemalo.bsky.social•104 days ago

Love the original, if there is any truth to this would love to see some of the original cast back

petermcarey.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why?

dgray47.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hmm…

maybecarli.bsky.social•104 days ago

original shows > lazy reboots

lostinanewtown.bsky.social•104 days ago

No. No. Hell no.

pm48.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why? The original is so good. Rewatching it now. Let’s leave a classic alone.

lorrainesommerfeld.bsky.social•104 days ago

So Tim Riggins will be closer to age-appropriate for me now? Is that what I am to understand? I'm here for that.

thedirtylowdown.bsky.social•104 days ago

Lol!!!!

resistence.bsky.social•104 days ago

or they could just re-release the original

smo420.bsky.social•104 days ago

JUST started watching the series for the first time. Why didn’t ya’ll tell me it was this good?

mrcoaxum.bsky.social•103 days ago

This was my shit lol

maseinjapan.bsky.social•104 days ago

debbie61.bsky.social•104 days ago

Oh no, we need Coach Taylor and his wife!!

pautur.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yes!

3v1l1ns4n3.bsky.social•103 days ago

Not sure how I feel about this. I think the original needed a better last cpl seasons and a real ending. To reboot in same universe. Idk. I’d check it out tho I suppose.

murkio21tibo.bsky.social•103 days ago

That’s not bad

patrickkenzie.bsky.social•103 days ago

klump.bsky.social•104 days ago

I mean sure why not

jetsdaviduk.bsky.social•103 days ago

Love the show. Will be interesting to see if this is true.

premoveobserver.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why though? You're not recasting this show better than the original 😏

indomitusbd.bsky.social•103 days ago

I'm not sure that is a good idea.

I'd much rather the story pickup where it left off: Coach Taylor is in Philadelphia, Matt and Julie are married living in Chicago, etc.

mikeylove22.bsky.social•104 days ago

Clear eyes full hearts…

dumblefty.bsky.social•104 days ago

Can’t loose!!

xchxmpagnepxpix.bsky.social•104 days ago

CANT LOSE

mtjaccarino.bsky.social•104 days ago

there already tried this with smash: the brian smash Williams story

swfreedle.bsky.social•103 days ago

The universe of west Texas.

jason86.bsky.social•104 days ago

Clear eyes, Full hearts. Can’t lose.

mikeeeyyj.bsky.social•104 days ago

They’re gonna send Matt to Afghanistan

deano4266.bsky.social•103 days ago

Love that show.

ogm9.bsky.social•103 days ago

Have people just run out of ideas that reboots are the only option?

gregandriano.bsky.social•103 days ago

Seems like a “sequel series”

gkj.bsky.social•104 days ago

Here for it!!!

tracycake.bsky.social•104 days ago

Coach Riggins?

brudabeard.bsky.social•104 days ago

Can't beat Coach Taylor... I sure hope this new series is closer to the first 3 seasons

ziggytzardust.bsky.social•104 days ago

The American Degrassi: The Next Generation

lindszolna.bsky.social•104 days ago

“Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.”

notjohno.bsky.social•103 days ago

I'm so here for this.

tball71.bsky.social•103 days ago

Love this show!

cfbnewsnow.bsky.social•103 days ago

Clear eyes, full farts.

EDIT: *hearts, stupid autocorrect.

mizzpittman.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why? It was so good. Leave it alone.

nojorising.bsky.social•103 days ago

One of my favorite books in high school. Loved the original series and happy I got to work on the marketing for it. Hopefully we don’t fuck up this version cause the bar is high.

luvieh.bsky.social•104 days ago

there's only 1 Buddy.

giollachriost.bsky.social•103 days ago

Interested.

nkzeemusic.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hi, everyone I'm new here! Ifb immediately 💯🙏🥰

luckycolleen.bsky.social•103 days ago

I object.

smackcracklenpop.bsky.social•104 days ago

Need more Coach Taylor pep talks.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!

jerseyhair.bsky.social•104 days ago

there 👏 are 👏 other 👏 stories 👏 we 👏 can 👏 tell 👏

reylomemes.bsky.social•104 days ago

“set in the same universe as the original but with new characters” so… not a reboot.

riggs1983.bsky.social•104 days ago

Maybe same coach but different players?

reylomemes.bsky.social•104 days ago

Full disclosure, I haven’t seen the show. I just really hate how people constantly misuse the word reboot when in reality, the new thing is actually a continuation.

djeannelle.bsky.social•104 days ago

It’s an amazing show. Highly recommend.

sunnywillow.bsky.social•103 days ago

Loved it.

lostinnorway612.bsky.social•104 days ago

I hate football for many reasons and was hesitant to watch it, but it was really good.

jimbo1989.bsky.social•103 days ago

It’s very very good tbf

thegoonkills.bsky.social•104 days ago

Where I’m from, we call that a “sequel”

exocraze.bsky.social•104 days ago

These sorts of shows are, in theory, the perfect ones to randomly pick back up 20 years later. But it’s going to be hard to match the magic of the cast of the original.

blackclarkkent8.bsky.social•104 days ago

With Coach Taylor?

barretc-t.bsky.social•104 days ago

Loved the original film!

cactuskidd.bsky.social•103 days ago

I loved the intro song to the original series. They should continue with it if there's a reboot!

▶️ 🔊: https://youtu.be/7mjxzVLZAKY?si=MIgOEvbph5lDE79L

pyrexp.bsky.social•103 days ago

Interesting….

schaibtribe.bsky.social•104 days ago

There isn't a single new idea in Hollywood. They're recycling other people's, better ideas.

ashthorpe25.bsky.social•103 days ago

One of my favourite series!!

akaufman1089.bsky.social•103 days ago

Why?

vlindley.swifties.social•104 days ago

Yes please!!

ronpedoron.bsky.social•104 days ago

One of the few things that has been a fantastic book, movie, and TV show. Each in its own way.

If anything could be rebooted well, it’s this premise.

likeadad.bsky.social•104 days ago

Seems like a no brainer to try but I think it will be hard to match.

ohchxrlie.bsky.social•103 days ago

I need to know how the East Dillon Lions are doing in 2025

highmachinegun.bsky.social•104 days ago

Then it's not a fukkin reboot, is it?

thisiscinem.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why

alpz85.bsky.social•103 days ago

Great show.

pofoto.bsky.social•104 days ago

🥱🥱🥱

sevhynes.bsky.social•104 days ago

hope they don’t come film in the same location as before, we don’t need anymore people in odessa

ampcyclist.bsky.social•103 days ago

Hollywood just doesn’t give AF anymore…

mogwaimalkin.bsky.social•103 days ago

Only if Katims is involved. Shows work because of creators and writers, not just plots.

captstromboli.bsky.social•104 days ago

So it will be set on earth?

netflixanndphill.bsky.social•104 days ago

I’m a huge fan of the show, just don’t ruin it please.

bingsearch.bsky.social•104 days ago

What are next?

nkybracketology.bsky.social•104 days ago

FINE, I’ll watch😂

thoomin.bsky.social•103 days ago

Will that universe still have the most unnecessary and random murder of all time in it?

vflmc7.bsky.social•104 days ago

Please don’t suck!

zionwilliamson.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yall wanna win, put boobie in!

yhwhyireh.bsky.social•103 days ago

Reboot ? This was a really great show, hopefully they do it justice

jimmyevans.bsky.social•103 days ago

interesting

ocdindeed.bsky.social•104 days ago

Without Tami and Coach?

rudegg.bsky.social•104 days ago

The Wire of high school football. I’m down for more.

justincallanan.bsky.social•104 days ago

I would love it if they made it take place in Ohio or the Mid West rather than Texas.

rawunfilteredhoney.bsky.social•103 days ago

I just can't get behind anything that celebrates any part of rural America, knowing how vile and hateful the majority of them have become

meltdownincoming.bsky.social•103 days ago

The problem is that the original is near perfect.

knightnightt.bsky.social•104 days ago

That means it's a legacy sequel, no?

toddirwin.bsky.social•104 days ago

Wonder what Riggins is doing now/

kidnamedhenry.bsky.social•103 days ago

You can't mess up this gem, I demand perfection out of this. keep the theme

mrkins.bsky.social•104 days ago

How about basing it on a rival high school that is constantly undone by the superior, yet underdog Friday Lights High School

equinox28.bsky.social•104 days ago

I like your thinking

mrkins.bsky.social•104 days ago

Would be hilarious to watch the new main characters react to the improbable last second losses.

downthemanorslope.bsky.social•104 days ago

One of the best series of all time

daddynobucks1120.bsky.social•103 days ago

Off of the last episode this makes sense both schools merged the Taylor's moved Eric was coaching at a prep school

glenn-szabo.bsky.social•104 days ago

Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose!

amypento.bsky.social•104 days ago

Writers and director?

rdsallynash.bsky.social•103 days ago

Loved the original characters

westhamusa.bsky.social•104 days ago

Odessa is a universe now

farmy75.bsky.social•104 days ago

Now do a varsity blues movie reboot too

herbenero.bsky.social•104 days ago

Can't wait for this!

zack410.bsky.social•104 days ago

I'm intrigued

eghorses.bsky.social•104 days ago

A lot of these reboots fail after a season it will be difficult to equal the original.👍

mdd913.bsky.social•104 days ago

why would it have needed to be in a different universe? isn't football just football? don't think you need whole ass different universes, just a different football team

kandoh.bsky.social•104 days ago

That's just called a sequel

finallyroger.bsky.social•104 days ago

We will be there

bowlofshit.bsky.social•103 days ago

Wouldn’t that make it a sequel?

johncorn.bsky.social•104 days ago

Meh… Coach Taylor and Tami Taylor were the heart of the show though.

goldentornado.bsky.social•104 days ago

I loved the book & the movie, but the series didn't cut it for me.

padderz44.bsky.social•103 days ago

Can’t lose! 🤫

billteller256.bsky.social•104 days ago

Nonononono

dsea-hawkfan.bsky.social•104 days ago

oh no…

ellieca.bsky.social•103 days ago

It was a great series!

1llmidnight.bsky.social•103 days ago

I gotta feeling this ain’t it 🤦🏿‍♂️

danadentino.bsky.social•103 days ago

If it doesn’t center the show around Riggins as the new Coach what are we even doing?

mjh316.bsky.social•104 days ago

Whoa 😳

bfisher9699.bsky.social•104 days ago

Loved the show. Hope this is equal to the original.

timmyturner5.bsky.social•102 days ago

If there is no Kyle Chandler or Connie Britton, I'm not interested.

funkypizza.bsky.social•104 days ago

I was hoping it would be set in a universe where dogs could talk.

loneill.bsky.social•104 days ago

Loved the book, loved the movie, obsessed with the show...I'm scared.

dreamerny.bsky.social•104 days ago

This makes me happy.

celticseahawk.bsky.social•104 days ago

I loved the Dillon Panthers. 🏈

burgeib.bsky.social•104 days ago

Looking forward to that one!

bandon24.bsky.social•104 days ago

Good! Would have hoped they graduated by now.

tortillasdemaize.bsky.social•103 days ago

Buffering now on Netflix

mikemovies2024.bsky.social•104 days ago

They really just reboot everything don’t they

ommiezy.bsky.social•104 days ago

Sadly the reboots are almost always never good.

babjack.bsky.social•104 days ago

Cool

jimmysr.bsky.social•103 days ago

Leave things alone.

dpondy.bsky.social•103 days ago

I loved that series.

crazy4lefties.bsky.social•103 days ago

Stop doing reboot and be original for once

marymythoughts.bsky.social•104 days ago

It could be good but that OG cast was special.

simmellinger.bsky.social•104 days ago

Hell yes I’m ready for this.

melcurley99.bsky.social•104 days ago

Coach Taylor better be part of this project!!!

darthandrew.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why can’t they ever think of new ideas? So sick of tv and movies just rebooting everything.

cachet314.bsky.social•103 days ago

It’s gonna be hard to match the energy that first episode had. This show was a masterpiece.

leroysunshine.bsky.social•103 days ago

Clear Eyes Full Hearts Can’t Lose!

southbayj.bsky.social•103 days ago

No Kyle Chandler no interest for me

jave217.bsky.social•104 days ago

To me it sounds like a remake

cattyreid.bsky.social•103 days ago

I'm on season 4 of a rewatch

rdf50.bsky.social•104 days ago

Can a "Friday Night Lights" Multi-verse be far behind?

snoproblem.bsky.social•103 days ago

Loved the original movie, saw a few eps of the tv series. This? IDK, does everything need constant revisions, re-dos, etc. ?

stuffedderma.bsky.social•103 days ago

Don’t, just don’t

agordon11.bsky.social•104 days ago

Does this mean we're gonna get Tim Riggins as the next Dillon Panthers head coach? Cause, i'm in for that.

mariscia.bsky.social•101 days ago

No Taylor Kitsch? Nah thnx

tvlover.bsky.social•104 days ago

sara1980.bsky.social•104 days ago

So there’s like 5 people in the entertainment industry with original ideas? 🤨😂

lumrot.bsky.social•104 days ago

Why not continue when he left the school and Micheal B Jordan was his QB!

d3vcam1a.bsky.social•104 days ago

WHHHYYY?!?! We got the 1st film and the TV series. LEAVE IT ALONE!

warren-watched.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yay?

mrpeanutbutteresq.bsky.social•104 days ago

equinox28.bsky.social•104 days ago

It won’t have the same magic as the original but I’m really looking forward to this

enele.bsky.social•104 days ago

🤔🤔

jcny.bsky.social•104 days ago

Like Degrassi universe

1of1baller.bsky.social•103 days ago

Would love to see it if they bring the same coach in. Maybe have some of the old starts occasionally return for an appearance!

anniecat1212.bsky.social•104 days ago

I loved this show, but without Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, I’m not sure it works

sharonfred.bsky.social•104 days ago

At some point, don’t you think it’s time to start airing new shows? We know they’re out there the studios just won’t pull the trigger!

tjmor.bsky.social•104 days ago

That’s what happens when someone doesn’t have an original idea - let’s be lazy and rehash a classic. Spend millions of dollars and gross about $2 at the theater. No thank you.
