As
with last season, DirecTV customers will have first dibs on the new season of
the critically-acclaimed high school football series, with the show's 13 new
episodes airing first on satellite before re-running on... more NBC in early 2010. As
Season 4 kicks off, East Dillon High has reopened, sparking a major rivalry with
West Dillon. "The whole idea of this season is about this town being divided in
two because of this new team," executive producer Jason Katims told
Entertainment Weekly. "And over the course of the season, the lines are
literally drawn between these two teams. At times it's funny but it eventually
gets really ugly."
