Friday Night Lights is an hour-long drama series based on the feature film and book of the same name. Unlike the book and movie, the series is entirely fictional. In the small rural town of Dillon, Texas, the vaunted 2006 state football championship rings are held in the highest regard. The town's promising high school team, its star quarterback, and newly appointed head coach Eric Taylor feel the mounting pressure of the town's pride and honor riding on their shoulders as a new season kicks off.
