Fancast: Friday Night Lights Star Connie Britton Previews Season 4

‘Friday Night Lights‘ tackles new territory – literally – in its fourth season, which premieres this Wednesday at 9/8c on DirecTV’s 101 Network. (NBC airs the episodes in 2010.) After all, Eric Taylor (played by Kyle Chandler) is now coaching football at East Dillon, the ragtag “new” high school born of last year’s controversial redistricting. Meanwhile, his wife Tami (Connie Britton) is still the principal at West Dillon, leaving their daughter Julie torn over where to call “home.”

Here, Britton shares a look at the new ‘FNL’ dynamic, teases a stolen kiss, and reveals who is likely to be blubbering when the acclaimed series calls its final play. (Read Fancast.com’s in-depth review of the premiere here.)

I’ve got to say, East Dillon High looks like a bit of a pit.

I know, right?! Isn’t that funny-slash-awful?!

I imagine it’s all simply “expensive CGI.” The place they film is probably very lovely.

[Laughs] No, it’s pretty run down. But the truth of the matter is they turned one section of our [West Dillon football] field into East Dillon’s, with its own field house and everything. It’s cool.

It should be noted that East Dillon’s colors match your hair.

Hey, I like the way you think! It’s funny because Kyle has been like, “Hmm, I don’t look good in red. I wish I had been consulted.” He would have been happier with more of a magenta.

In the premiere, Tami is asked to do the coin-toss at West Dillon’s first game, while Eric is coaching East Dillon’s opener across town. Way for the boosters to dig the knife deeper.

Yeah. I love-slash-hate that dynamic with those guys. It’s fun to play because they are just so evil, but in such a good way.
