I am – Hercules!!


DirecTV and NBC Universal have reached an agreement to keep the acclaimed football drama “Friday Night Lights” on for two more 13-episode seasons.

Now TV Guide has an interview with showrunner Jason Katims, who says he'll remain with "Lights" even if his NBC dramedy pilot, "Parenthood" (based on the old Steve Martin movie) goes to series.

He also reveals which characters return for the fourth season:

TV GUIDE: Based on how the season ended, who can you say will definitely be back?

KATIMS: The Taylor family (Chandler, Teegarden and Connie Britton as Tami)…Jesse Plemons’ character, Landry, is a senior, so he’ll be back, and I want to make sure everybody comes back in some way, whether or not they’ll be there for every episode. We set a nice precedent with that last year in our story arcs with Gaius Charles (Smash) and Scott Porter (Jason). Even though they weren’t there for the whole season, they definitely left their mark on Season Three in a big way. If we feel we can’t service all the characters for the whole season, we’ll want to find meaty arcs for them to play.

Katims also discloses that the "Parenthood" pilot will star Peter Krause ("Six Feet Under," "Dirty Sexy Money"), Maura Tierney ("NewsRadio," "ER"), Craig T. Nelson ("Poltergeist," "Coach") and Erika Christensen ("Swimfan," "Six Degrees").
