Ever since Friday Night Lights ended its spectacular five-season run in 2011, rumors of a movie (...unrelated to the 2004 Billy Bob Thornton film of the same name, that is) haven't ever stopped—that is, until now. 

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kyle Chandler, who played the indispensible Coach Eric Taylor, confirmed the sad news: It's not going to happen, folks.

“It ended so well, it ended beautifully,” he told the magazine. “And I was more than happy for it to end when it did, because you couldn’t have gone much further.”

Chandler did, however, also throw in a few especially fond memories of filming FNL that will fill any Tami Taylor or Tim Riggins fan with joy: 

“I liked giving those locker-room speeches,” Chandler says. “This sort of collective energy would happen. It was a little scary going into them because I don’t know what made that magic happen. But it was some sort of outside force—the Clear Eyes, Full Hearts came into the room, and allowed everyone to go to Brigadoon.”

Oh, well. There's always Netflix.
