Bill Records/NBCBreathe in, breathe out.
Whew! Okay, sorry, I just sprinted up the street to the closest Internet café (technically, Casa de Dos Santos) to tell you a Friday Night Lights castmember (not pictured above) just whispered to me the following regarding season three:
"It's happening. I'm not supposed to say anything. We're not supposed to say anything. But it is happening. I want you to know."
Pardon me while I scrape myself off the ceiling and then bow down to thank the higher power (the great and wonderful Ben Silverman) who, if the news is true, made this happen.
This giddy-good whisper just went down moments ago on the red carpet for the Paley Festival's Friday Night Lights night.
I interviewed all castmembers who were there, who all said they were feeling "optimistic" and "hopeful" and "good" about a third-season pickup...until the kind soul gave me what I believe to be the real skinny.
Had to tell you that this nanosecond. Check back tomorrow for the video and more scoop.
And in the meantime, shake your freaking Panther pom-poms in the comments section below!
