While NBC viewers need to wait until the summer of 2010 for new episodes of Friday Night Lights, DIRECTV subscribers can start to get excited about season four of this acclaimed series.

It kicks off on October 28.

According to one newly released promo for the drama, one town will change forever over the next few months, as Coach Eric Taylor takes his passion and intensity to East Dillon High School.

“This season opener is practically a pilot in itself. It puts Coach Taylor at the center of the action in a new school, with a new team, and many new challenges,” said executive producer Jason Katims. “In addition to the returning cast, we are introducing a host of new characters who will become integral to the fourth and fifth season of the show.”

Watch the following trailer for season four, which is narrated by Tyra’s emotional reading of her college application essay:

It doesn’t reveal any new scenes or spoilers, but anyone whose spine doesn’t tingle while viewing it must lack clear eyes and/or a full heart.

How do I love Friday Night Lights’ resplendent, Emmy-worthy leading lady (and Ausiello TV guest) Connie Britton? Let me count the ways…

1) She modifies her summer travel plans in order to appear on my fledgling web series.
2) She breaks major freakin’ news about FNL likely ending in 2011: “I think the intention is to do two more seasons and then that will be it.”
3) She says funny things that make me giggle. Like this: “I’m pretty sure in the next two seasons there’s a very strong possibility that Tami will have an affair with a student.”
4) She humors me when I offer her Emmy submission advice (and video evidence to back it up).
5) She breaks major freakin’ news about who will and won’t be back full time in season 4.

I could go on forever… or I could just direct you to our exclusive video Q&A after the jump. My typing skills suck so let’s go with option B. Enjoy!
