Connie Britton on 'Friday Night Lights' Reboot: 'You Need to Let it Go'
Connie Britton rocks a black jumpsuit while striking a pose at the #BlogHer19 Creators Summit held at Brooklyn Expo Center on Wednesday (September 18) in New York City.
During the event, the 52-year-old Dirty John actress was asked if a remake of one of her most beloved roles was in the works — Tami Taylor in the fan favorite series Friday Night Lights.
“You need to let it go,” Connie replied with a smile (via Variety).

Connie said she is “really excited” about her Amazon contract, but also shared her concerns about the industry when it comes to her latest role as producer and, more importantly, as a female in charge.
“[It is] really hard as a woman to say something that people don’t like. That’s very difficult. I still really struggle with sort of trying to be nice about it, make sure every body is feeling okay,” Connie explained. “And ultimately having a concern that I’m going to be perceived as a bitch. And that’s very real. And I actually have found now, the more I’m getting into producing and the more sort of input that I have on a set, the more I really bump up against that…I know that that’s something that I carry. That is something that’s been passed down to me.”
Connie also presented Alexandra Posen with a #VOTY (Voices of the Year) for her work as the co-founder behind the company Resistance by Design and its first product, HERWAVE 2018, which was a scarf that celebrated the diversity and number of women who ran for Congress in 2018.
