Glee premiered in 2009 on Fox and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The series followed the experiences of the glee club at the fictional William McKinley High School in Ohio, and tackled themes such as identity, diversity, bullying, and acceptance through versions of major hit songs.
Across six seasons and more than 120 episodes, airing through 2015, the production launched dozens of actors, including Lea Michele, Darren Criss, and Chris Colfer. The series earned six Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes, in addition to breaking an Elvis Presley record by landing 113 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, the series is ready to make his triumphal return.
Although no additional information regarding cast, plot or other details have been released yet, Murphy and other cast members have been dropping hints for the last two months.
