Clear eyes, full hearts, CAN'T LOSE! October 18, 2009

Friday Night Lights, one of the most underappreciated and best television shows on air at the moment, kicks off its fourth season kicks off in the US on DirecTV on October 28th and a batch of promo videos and photos have surfaced online. After last season’s game-changing finale I’m eager to see where the producers will go with the new season, which will likely split its time between East Dillon High and Dillon High.

Executive producer Jason Katims says, “This season opener is practically a pilot in itself. It puts Coach Taylor at the center of the action in a new school, with a new team, and many new challenges. In addition to the returning cast, we are introducing a host of new characters who will become integral to the fourth and fifth season of the show.”

Sadly some of my favourite characters, like Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly) and Tyra Colette (Adrianne Padalecki), will not be back this year (at least as regulars). Former seniors Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) and Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) will, however, be returning full time.

Below is a pretty amazing and special effects heavy trailer for the new season, playing pretty heavily on the whole ‘town divided’ idea. The song featured on the trailer is Come Undone by Greg Laswell.
