Overview
- Murphy told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday that he and co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan have completed a first script and have quietly reached out to about 10 original cast members who were reported as enthusiastic.
- Murphy emphasized that no one has yet read the script and that he plans to write a couple more episodes to gauge reactions, particularly from the cast, before seeking a platform or moving into production.
- Industry reporting says the project comes from 20th Television but has not been set up at a network or streamer, and any landing at Disney or another platform remains unconfirmed.
- The revival faces complex choices because several high-profile cast members have died and the series has had later-season criticism and off-screen controversies, all of which will shape casting, story and public reception.
- Glee ran on Fox from 2009 to 2015 and has seen renewed interest from younger viewers via streaming, a factor Murphy cited as a reason to revisit the property and one that could affect music licensing and business negotiations if the project advances.
