Ryan Murphy, the creator of the musical comedy series Glee, announced on Wednesday that he has completed a script for a potential reboot of the show. Murphy, who co-wrote the project with original collaborators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, stated that he has reached out to approximately 10 original cast members regarding the idea. While the cast members expressed enthusiasm, Murphy noted that none of them have read the script yet.

Development and Cast Response

The script was written by the show's original creative team, Murphy, Falchuk, and Brennan, who were responsible for the first two seasons of the series. Murphy explained that he intends to write a few scripts to gauge the reaction of the cast, citing the close relationships formed during the show's original run from 2009 to 2015. While the project is being developed through 20th Television, it has not yet been set up at a specific streaming or broadcast platform.

Context and Recent Interest

The announcement follows recent public interest in the show's legacy, with Murphy noting that the series has found a new audience among younger viewers. Lea Michele, who starred as Rachel Berry throughout the show's six-season run, recently expressed her willingness to participate in a reboot, stating she would follow Murphy's lead. The original series, which focused on a high school show choir, featured an ensemble cast including Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, and the late Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera.
