The fifth and final season of TV show Friday Night Lights was released on DVD on April 5, 2011, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
The television series, which aired on NBC, stars Kyle Chandler (The Day the Earth Stood Still) as Eric Taylor, coach for a high school football team in a small town in Texas. Connie Britton (A Nightmare On Elm Street) plays his wife and Aimee Teegarden (upcoming Scream 4) his daughter. The show follows the coach, his family, the students and town residents, reflecting many of the issues of small-town America. The cast also includes, Taylor Kitsch (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Adrianne Palicki (Legion) and Jeremy Sumpter (Soul Surfer).
Despite being highly acclaimed by critics and garnering a loyal group of fans, the drama often found itself on the low side of ratings and surrounded by rumors of cancellation. But, the show survived for five seasons. Friday Night Lights‘ fourth season was released on DVD last August.
Originally, the series was a spin-off of the 2004 movie Friday Night Lights, which was based on the book by Buzz Bissinger.
Priced at $34.98, the DVD set of Friday Night Lights: The Fifth Season includes these special features:
