After being asked about a possible film based on the television series, she dished out the cold hard truth. "Is that still being talked about? Guys, I just don’t think it’s going to happen. I don’t,” she said bluntly.

She explained, “I think that the consensus is they want to just let it lie. I’ve kind of come full circle because I was all for it in the beginning. I think if we had done it early on. But now I really do see how special it is to be able to end a series in that way. It was just so beautifully done and beautifully arched. I think we kind of did it."

The Nashville star also reminded viewers of the more practical reason a reboot isn’t in the works. “It was already a movie. The movie came before the show!” she said.

"The movie was actually a recreation of the book, the Buzz Bissinger book, and that book was a journal that took place in the ‘80s. In the movie, we were playing actual characters, so I was playing a woman named Sharon Gaines and the coach was Coach Gaines. In the show, it was a different time period. It was modern day. We were fictional. It was an adaptation,” the 51-year-old explained.
