Zach Gilford is revealed to be jumping on board ABC’s hour-long drama pilot “Matadors”. The “Friday Night Lights” actor is going to play the leading male named Alex Galloway, according to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello.
[Spoiler alert!] The TV series revolves around two rival Chicago-based families, one in the DA’s office and another in a high-powered law firm. Zach’s character is Romeo of this modern-day “Romeo & Juliet” story.
The actress who will portray the Juliet is yet to be unveiled. Additionally, premiere date for the series is unclear.
Zach Gilford is tackling the role of Matt Saracen, the former backup quarterback of the Dillon High School Panthers, in NBC’s “Friday Night Lights”. He is set to make his final “FNL” appearance during the season 4 finale.
He hasn’t been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but Taylor Kitsch’s status for season five of Friday Night Lights is questionable.
The incredible drama – which is currently airing on DIRECT and will premiere on NBC this spring – will start working on its likely final season in March.
But that coincides with Kitsch’s filming schedule on the movie John Carter of Mars. As a result, he says Kitsch “will miss part” of the season, producer Jason Katims told Michael Ausiello.
“[But] we are communicating with the [John Carter] production to work out the schedule so that Taylor can be in as much of season 5 as possible,” he said.
There’s been no official announcement that the show will go off the air after its fifth season, but Katims added that “everybody is operating under that assumption.”
