TV Guide Reports on New Love for FNL’s Landry

With Tyra off to college (and actress Adrianne Palicki off making movies until a possible mid-season reappearance), Landry (Jesse Plemons) is going to need a new squeeze when Friday Night Lights returns to DirecTV in October (followed by a later summer run on NBC).
When Season 4 kicks off, it will turn out that the town’s redistricting has placed Landry in Coach Taylor’s East Dillon High. He’ll become involved in a love triangle with an African-American couple, footballer Vince (played by Michael B. Jordan), whose father is in prison, and Jess (Jurnee Smollett), who works with her dad at a local hangout. “It’s good to see mixed couples on TV,” Jesse says. “The last girl I dated [in real life] was mixed race.

Texas has come a long way, but there’s still racism.” Racism in Dillon is nothing new. The show previously tackled the issue with a biracial romance involving former Panther Brian “Smash” Williams, played by cast alum Gaius Charles, whom producers are trying to woo for a special return appearance.
