Austin360 Reports on Generation Y and How it Will Continue What FNL Started in Austin

You might have heard that Season 5 of “Friday Night Lights,” which films in and around Austin this summer, might be the show’s last. There’s been no official word from NBC, but it seems as if the fictional denizens of Dillon, Texas, might soon be saying their final farewells.

It’s bad enough that Zach Gilford and Minka Kelly are long gone, but how much fun will it be to walk down to Jo’s Hot Coffee on South Congress Avenue if there’s not at least a remote chance of running into Kyle Chandler? OK, it’ll still be fun, but you get my point.

Fear not, celebrity stalkers, if Noah Hawley gets his way, you’ll have a new cast of characters to hound for autographs and pose with for impromptu cell phone photos. Hawley, the former “Bones” staff writer and creator of the New York cop drama “The Unusuals,” which ran on ABC for 10 episodes in 2009, is in Austin shooting a new pilot for that network. And if it gets picked up, it’ll film here, too.
