Ryan Murphy Says He Has Finished a Script for a Potential Glee Revival

He plans to write additional episodes to test original cast reactions with the project not yet greenlit by any network or streamer

Overview

  • Murphy told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday that he and co‑creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan had just completed an initial script for a possible Glee return.
  • He said he has privately contacted about ten original cast members who responded as "very enthusiastic," though none have yet read the new script.
  • Murphy plans to write a couple more episodes to solicit cast feedback before deciding whether to move the project forward.
  • The revival remains in early development and has not been picked up by a network or streamer, and any distribution path — including Disney+, where the original now streams — is unconfirmed.
  • The push to revisit Glee follows a streaming-driven rediscovery by younger viewers and comes against the show's complicated legacy, which includes high-profile on-set controversies and the deaths of several former cast members.
