Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly has word that Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler has been made a “very lucrative offer” to headline the series. The series will follow a family who live 100 years from now on future Earth, who are flung back in time 150 million years to the prehistoric age, when Earth was ruled by dinosaurs. Terra Nova was written by Craig Silverstein and Kelly Marcel, based on Marcel’s story idea.
