Despite cast and crew teasing fans about a "Friday Night Lights" movie, the hit NBC drama will not be making a debut on the big screen.
Executive producer Peter Berg confirmed to Collider.com the show will not be turned into a movie.
"There's not gonna be a movie. We talked about it, some people thought it was a good idea, some didn't; I've come to believe it's probably not a good idea and I seriously doubt it's gonna happen," Berg said.
Actor Taylor Kitsch, who portrayed Tim Riggins in the series, also does not believe a movie based on the show is a good idea. Kitsch explained to Vulture.com the series ended on a high note and should be left alone.
"I'll just say no. No, period. I'm not doing it. I'm never gonna be in that movie. There was already a movie! And the show ended f***ing spot-on. We're good," Kitsch said.
Another NBC drama is making headlines as a cast member has decided to retire.
Dann Florek of "Law & Order: SVU" will call a quits to the series after his character's 401st episode. Florek took to his official Twitter account to tell his fans about his series send-off.
"Friday was the last day 4 Cragen/Florek. It was a sweet send off! But he'll live on in syndication land 4 evah!" Florek posted on Dec. 9.
Florek joins Richard Belzer, better known as Sergeant John Munch, with is "Law & Order: SVU" retirement. Belzer officially retired in October, and wrote a blog post for the Huffington Post about his run on the show.
"I am truly blessed to have been in the company of so many remarkable people for such a long time! Yes, I am sad. Yes, it's bittersweet. But after 21 years, smart money is on Munch not totally disappearing from the face of the earth. If Sherlock Holmes can survive the Reichenbach Falls then surely we have not seen the last of Detective Sergeant John Munch," Belzer wrote.
