The long-awaited Glee reboot is officially moving forward at Disney+ and Hulu.
For the last several months, there have been rumors that creator Ryan Murphy is working on a reboot/revival of the hit musical dramedy series. Fans online have been debating whether it is the right move to bring back the series, while the original cast has mixed reactions to the proposed idea.
What to Expect in the Glee Reboot
Variety confirmed that Disney+ and Hulu have given an official greenlight to the reboot of Glee after months of development.
However, details regarding the plot or the number of episodes are still unknown, except that it will be produced by 20th Television and will air on the two aforementioned streaming services. The original series notably aired on the Fox network.
There is also no information on which original cast member has signed on to return in the reboot. We will likely learn more regarding this in the coming weeks or months.
In a September interview, Ryan Murphy revealed at that time that he had already finished the script for the first episode of the reboot and he has been in touch with the cast members.
"Well, funny you ask, cause I just finished the script an hour ago. So, we have a script. Brad [Falchuk], Ian [Brennan] and I, who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something," he said.
"I’ve been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. It’s very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea."
Now that the reboot is official, fans are looking forward to seeing what they have in store, especially how it will also reflect the current era compared to the original series.
Glee OG Cast's Reaction to the Reboot
As of this writing, none of the original cast members have shared their reaction to the greenlight of the Glee reboot.
However, in the last few months, some of them reacted to the then-rumored plan that the musical series is being brought back. There were varying responses among them.
Lea Michele, who played Rachel Berry, has expressed interest in returning in the planned reboot. She said, "I love Glee. I will always love Glee. I love Ryan Murphy. It just holds such a special place in my heart for me… I will follow Ryan wherever he goes."
Meanwhile, Chris Colfer, who played Kurt Hummel, was skeptical about whether it is the right move to bring back Glee, considering that some of the actors have tragically passed away. However, he would still consider the idea.
"It was a really tough show to do, and it would be really hard to do it now that Naya [Rivera] is gone. But I do know that Glee fans would probably come after me with pitchforks and jazz hands if I said no. So I don’t know, but hopefully I’ll have more information, and I can actually think about it," he said.
