After today's TCA panel for NBC's Prime Suspect, the series' executive producer Peter Berg confirmed that a movie version/sequel to his critically acclaimed NBC/DirecTV drama series Friday Night Lights, which recently ended its five-season run, is in active development. The movie is on track and the script is being written, Berg said. "We're very serious about trying to do it," he said, with a goal of going into production next year. The project would be produced by Universal Pictures -- the studio behind the 2004 movie starring Billy Bob Thornton -- and Imagine, with Brian Grazer producing. It would feature the cast of the series led by Emmy nominees Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton.
