Ryan Murphy Finishes Script for Possible Glee Reboot

Creator Ryan Murphy says positive responses from early cast outreach will guide additional scripts as the project seeks a network or streamer.

Overview

  • Murphy told Entertainment Tonight he finished an initial reboot script on Wednesday and co-wrote it with Glee co‑creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan.
  • He has privately contacted roughly ten original cast members and described their reactions as "very enthusiastic," while adding that no one has read the new script yet.
  • Murphy said he intends to write a couple more episodes to show the cast and gauge reaction before deciding how to move the project forward.
  • The effort remains early stage and unsold: it has not been set up at a network or streamer, and 20th Television holds production rights while the original series streams on Disney+.
  • A revival would lean on renewed streaming interest from younger viewers but faces practical hurdles including casting, music licensing and sensitivity around past cast controversies and deaths.
