Connie Britton would like to reprise her role in White Lotus with one caveat.
The Friday Night Lights alum, 58, appeared in season one of the HBO series, which was set in Hawaii, as Nicole Mossbacher.
And she’s ready to step back into her role if it is set in a specific city.
‘I keep telling them, “Listen, when you’re ready to do White Lotus: Aspen, let’s do it,”‘ Britton quipped during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.
The Nashville star still gets asked about the show all the time.
‘I have talked for several years to [creator] Mike White about shooting another season of that show, which I would love to do,’ she told the outlet while promoting her Hallmark reality series The Motherhood.

She explained that it is not easy for her to pack up and spend six months in Thailand, or whatever exotic locale the show is shooting in.
‘We sH๏τ that show during COVID. So my son was able to go with me when we sH๏τ it,’ the actress explained.

Connie adopted son Eyob (nicknamed Yoby), now 14, in 2011,
‘He would do COVID Zoom school starting at 5:00 a.m. from Hawaii. But that show now means you go spend six months in Thailand to shoot [a season].’
Taking that much time away from home is ‘not realistic’ for Britton right now. ‘As much as I would love to do it, it’s a whole thing. I’ve definitely had to say no to [other jobs before].’
Britton has raised Yoby on her own, and she used the experience of being thrown into motherhood without any instructions in her new unscripted Hallmark series The Motherhood.
The show follows Britton as she connects with single moms who are juggling the demands of work, parenting and self-care.
‘When I became a single mom, it was kind of a big awakening for me where I realized, like, “Whoa, this is no joke,”‘ she said.

‘Obviously being a parent period is a big, big transition and a big change in life, but doing it by yourself is kind of a whole other thing,” Britton told Us.
‘And so I learned in that process how important having a community is and a support system.
‘I started thinking, “Gosh, I’m one of the lucky ones. I am able to have help when I need it.”
‘And so many single moms and single parents in the world don’t have the privilege of that.”‘
Britton set her mind to ‘really change the cultural persepective’ on single parenthood.
‘I’m hopeful that this show is going to kind of help contribute to reshaping how we think about single parents and maybe look out for each other a little bit more in our communities and say, ‘Oh, I would love to lend a hand to this person,”‘ she added.
‘As they say, it takes a village,’ she said.
The Motherhood premieres Monday, May 5, on the Hallmark Channel and streams next day on Hallmark+.

Friday Night Lights is getting a reboot with new characters, leaving behind the cast of the 2006 series starring Britton, Kyle Chandler and Minka Kelly.
Now a reboot is reportedly percolating at Universal Television with a new storyline – and is allegedly generating fierce compeтιтion over the streaming rights.
Netflix, Amazon and Peacock are claimed to be locked in a ‘bidding war’ to acquire the upcoming project, according to a new report in Puck.
Peter Berg, who directed the 2004 movie and developed the TV series, is also part of the creative team for the revival, according to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline.
So are Jason Katims, who was the showrunner of the series, and Brian Grazer, who produced the film and was an executive producer on the TV version.
