Overview
- Murphy told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday that he had “just finished” a script for a potential Glee revival written with co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan.
- He said he has reached out to about 10 original cast members and described their initial responses as very enthusiastic, though those actors have not yet read the script.
- Murphy plans to write a few more episodes to test reactions from the cast before moving the project forward or formally shopping it to a network or streamer.
- The revival has not been greenlit or assigned to a platform, and rights and distribution questions are likely to involve the show’s original 20th Century Fox production ties and Murphy’s current relationship with Disney.
- Glee’s awards, commercial success and a streaming-driven surge in younger viewers are the main reasons creators are pursuing the idea and could shape whether the show returns as a continuation, reboot, or limited event.
