Friday Night Lights renewal looking good

The buzz out of yesterday’s Friday Night Lights panel at the Paley Festival in Los Angeles is that the show is returning next season.

Can I get a “Woo Hoo?” Or several if you prefer to get out your pom-poms and do a happy dance.

I’ve been hesitant to report any news that the show was possibly being picked up, until something was official, but all sources say it’s happening. E!Online’s Kristin Dos Santos heard the scoop straight from one of the cast member’s mouths.

Allegedly, DirecTV is working a deal with NBC to help keep the show on the air. According to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, FNL would air on NBC and DirecTV “concurrently.”

I’m positively giddy at the though of one of television’s best drama getting another season. The minute I hear confirmation that the show has indeed been renewed, you’ll be the first to know. I promise!
