Taylor Kitsch Open to “Friday Night Lights” Reboot

Taylor Kitsch is considering a return for the reboot of “Friday Night Lights,” albeit in a limited capacity.

In a recent discussion on Sirius XM’s “The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw” (as reported by ET), Kitsch revealed that he has “been asked” to participate in the reboot. While he is open to making a cameo, he clarified that he doesn’t plan to be involved for more than “an episode.”

“I’m always flattered. Never say never. But I would come in and maybe do something for an episode,” Kitsch stated. “I don’t want to go and do the whole thing. I’d go and have fun, but I don’t want to lead a ‘FNL’ or a reboot or anything.”

Kitsch also contemplated the possibility of his character’s return, suggesting he could reprise his role as Tim Riggins, the Dillon Panthers’ running back, or potentially create a new character. However, he acknowledged that the latter option is unlikely.

“I think if you saw me as someone else, you’d be like, ‘That’s Riggins,’” Kitsch remarked. “Especially in that element, if you’re in Texas or doing it the way they’re gonna do it. So yeah, I would maybe play an opposing team’s coach or something, and be on screen for like eight seconds. Yeah, I would do that.”

The “Friday Night Lights” reboot was announced in November and is currently in development at NBCUniversal, set to premiere on Peacock. The official synopsis describes the show as, “Following a devastating hurricane, a ragtag high school football team and their damaged, interim coach make an unlikely bid for a Texas High School State Championship, becoming a beacon of light for their town.”
