Breaking: 'Friday Night Lights' (finally) gets an NBC premiere date

NBC has just unveiled its post-Olympics, Leno-free midseason schedule, and there’s good news for fans of Friday Night Lights who don’t have DirecTV. The drama’s fourth season — the one currently airing on DirecTV — will make its Peacock debut on Friday, April 30.

To see the rest of NBC’s new sked, head over to Hollywood Insider.

    Finally is right! Been waiting forever to see the new season. FNL is one of the best shows on television. Too bad none of these award shows can see that. Sucks that we are gonna have to wait till April though…

  • Annie

    Yess! I have been rewatching season 3 on Netflix, so this is perfect!

  • Katie

    Fiiiiiiiiiiiinally!

  • shonna

    Finally – can’t wait to catch up with Eric and Tami Taylor and of course Riggins!!!

  • jmag

    Don’t get too excited; the Peacock will probably cancel it on April 29th.

    • Bob Loblaw

      when nbc renewed the show last year, it was for a guaranteed 2 season commitment.

  • brett

    how many episodes are there going to be.usally tv seasons end in may

    • Bob Loblaw

      13 episodes

  • Tim

    If NBC was smart, they’d rerun some of Season 3 in the open Leno slot to prep fans for the new season

    • Katie

      But, NBC is clearly NOT smart!

    • Billiam

      Sadly, FNL will probably not do better than Leno. Whatever their flaws, I have to give NBC props for the fact that FNL still exists.

  • JennaD

    Whatevs. I didn’t like how they handled this last year or said they handle it this year, so I’ve been watching in online, now i can rewatch sooner than expected.

  • Trip

    Seasons 4 and 5 got the same order as Season 3, so 13 episodes

  • B

    It’s been a great season. Can’t wait for the folks who don’t have DirecTV to pick it up so there can be some convo about what has been going on in Dillon!

  • Lynn

    Yipppppeee!! Can’t wait to see Season 4!

  • dryedmangoez

    I would like to think FNL airing in May and June will put the show in Emmy voters’ consciousness as they send in their ballots!

  • paige

    its about damn time!

  • Michael

    ugh, well nbc should put it on first thing in march….. this is stupid.

  • Nebraska

    Yeah! I LOVE FNL!

    • Texas4Ever

      As an Austin, TX native who grew up there and went to one of the high schools they based a lot of this on, I have to say that is the most accurate portrayal of TX high school football I’ve ever seen. Fantastic show, great actors, great writers. Deserves more respect than it got. Anyone who saw the whole first season knows that. Can’t wait for Season 4.
