Overview
- Disney+ and Hulu officially approved a Glee reboot on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, with 20th Television attached as the producing studio.
- Creator Ryan Murphy says he has finished the new script and has contacted about ten members of the original cast, though no actors have been formally confirmed.
- The companies have not announced a production start date, filming schedule, or release window, leaving casting and timing details pending.
- The reboot will return to the show’s high-school musical format while carrying the weight of the original series’ legacy, which includes the earlier deaths of Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, and Naya Rivera.
- Murphy’s move follows a broader industry trend of nostalgia-driven revivals and could draw both longtime fans and new viewers to streaming, but the creative and casting choices will shape how the series is updated for today’s audiences.
