Overview
- Murphy told People at the red carpet for his FX series The Shards on Monday that he is “seriously considering” revisiting Glee and that a “new incarnation” might appeal to today’s viewers.
- He credited the show’s renewed popularity among younger audiences who find it on streaming services and social platforms as a key reason to rethink bringing the series back.
- No formal project, cast, or release plan has been announced and Disney/Disney+ has not confirmed TikTok claims that a reboot was ordered or that Anthony Ramos is attached.
- Co-creator Brad Falchuk has said he would be open to a return but has questioned what a modern retelling should accomplish beyond being lucrative, and Murphy has noted the show’s intense behind-the-scenes dynamics.
- Any revival would face practical hurdles including the time and cost of staging musical numbers and the need to decide between a straight reboot, a continuation with original characters, or a new-cast spinoff, all grounded in Glee’s large pop-culture legacy.
