From the Football Field to the Courtroom

NBC’s Friday Night Lights may be losing its star QB Zach Gilford, but the actor’s bouncing back onto an ABC pilot.

Gilford has joined the cast of an hour-long drama pilot called Matadors, which follows two rival Chicago-based families, one in the DA’s office and another in a high-powered law firm.

The show will have a bit of a Romeo and Juliet component to it.
