The Cast of Friday Night Lights Came Together to Watch Their Pilot and OMG, the Memories

Updated on April 27, 2020 at 1:15 PM

Say it like you mean it, Friday Night Lights fans: clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose! Nine years after the series finale of the iconic NBC sports drama, a handful of the cast came together as the latest in a long line of virtual treats that are part of Global Citizen's Together at Home series to raises money for the World Health Organization amid the coronavirus pandemic. Adrianne Palicki (Tyra Collette), Scott Porter (Jason Street), Derek Phillips (Billy Riggins), Aimee Teegarden (Julie Taylor), Gaius Charles (Smash Williams), and Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity) staged a reunion via Zoom to rewatch the series' pilot episode and answer fan questions while catching up. Of course, they made it about a second into the episode before Leland said he was gonna cry, and like, same Buddy. Same.

The cast reminisces about playing flag football (apparently Taylor Kitsch is super competitive) and hanging out on a lake, as well as answers the age-old question about a reunion episode. According to Palicki, "the answer is no," but that doesn't stop the group from sharing their predictions on what their characters would probably be up to years later. We have a feeling you can guess one or two fates based on sheer common sense. Watch the reunion above!
