What is the cast of “Friday Night Lights” up to now?
There are some TV shows that were so good that even years after they’ve been off the air goes by, you still wonder what the characters would be up to if you were still able to peek in on their lives.
NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” ended their 5 season run just over five years ago and some of the leads of the show have landed themselves in some equally amazing roles since leaving the fictional small town in rural Texas.
Here’s a look at what our favorite characters from Dillon, Texas, are doing now.
