While interviewing Connie Britton about her Emmy nomination (sadly, she did not take home the gold last night), EW’s Ausiello asked the actress about the final scene of Friday Night Lights.
Was it between her and Kyle Chandler? Britton shared, “Actually, our final scene was with neither Kyle nor me, which we thought it was going to be. We thought it was going to be at the Taylor house, you know? And, it wasn’t. It just didn’t work out that way.”
She continued, “But it was perfect because it was out in a big, open, beautiful field at sunset. And everybody, [executive producer] Peter Berg flew in, [executive producer] David Nevens from Showtime (formerly of Imagine), all these people from L.A. came in so we all just kind of gathered around and watched the final scene being shot. And, there was this beautiful Texas sunset and it was just so perfect and everybody cried.”
What do you think? How would you like to see the Friday Night Lights story end?
Everything above sounds great, the only thing I’d add is, Tyra matures, has a change of heart, realizes she wants to be a guidance counselor like her mentor Tami, and ends up with Landry, because no one else will care for her like he does. And Julie and Matt end up together in NY or Chicago, with 1.5 kids, and visit Dillon for the holidays.
I love love love!! this show because of it’s family values, very few shows have morals and values anymore… Majority of shows on TV are garbage!! It baffles me that when we finally have a good and inspiring show it gets canceled.
Shows like these get canceled because NBC moved it around to 3 different nights over the five years and never advertised the show. They tried pulling the plug 2 years ago but Direct TV stepped in and saved the show. NBC doesn’t know a good show if it hits them right square in the face.
I love this show, because of its family values and how family comes first. Very few shows have any morals or values anymore…. Majority of the shows on TV are garbage!! I’m baffled as to why good and inspiring shows like this are canceled.

My dream would be for this show NOT to end!! Why does every good show get canceled?
Spoilers!!!!
Few weeks back, news outlets in the northeast (Philly?) reported scenes being shot with Coach sporting some new team colors for a school there — coaching practice … presumably because Tami gets a dream job offer for said school.
Can’t wait until October!!
My dream ending for Friday Night Lights would be (and include): 1) Coach Taylor takes the Lions to State, beating the Panther’s Coach from Season 2 (he’s got to still be somewhere in Texas) who thinks CT stole his job and ‘promised’ they’d meet again. Nothing like hatred to crank a State game up a notch! 2) The Lions win State and CT is ultimately offered his dream coaching job wherever that may be … but after much thought, he turns it down as he realizes his gift is to coach high school football in his new home of Dillon,… Read more »
If they will indeed cancel it might as well have a tornado come through again but this time it destroys everything and everyone for that matter! The networks have no idea what great programming is. It most certainly isn’t Americas Got Talent
