Published Oct 21, 2026, 8:41 AM EDT Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts. For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch. He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him. His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.It's time to stop holding on to that feeling, because Glee is officially coming back. More than a decade after Ryan Murphy's musical comedy turned a group of high school outcasts into one of television's biggest pop culture phenomena, McKinley High School is preparing to open its doors once again. The original series gave audiences unforgettable musical performances, spectacular teenage drama and a cheerleading coach who could probably qualify as one of television's greatest supervillains. And now, 11 years after the New Directions sang their final number, Disney has decided there's still plenty of music left to play. Disney+ and Hulu have officially ordered a new Glee series, bringing the musical franchise back to television for the first time since its original six-season run ended in March 2015. According to TheWrap, the revival has received a formal series order from 20th Television, with Murphy returning alongside fellow creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan. The announcement follows the trio's completion of a new script in September, although a premiere date, storyline and returning cast members have yet to be confirmed. Murphy previously revealed that he had been quietly working on the project with his original collaborators, explaining to Entertainment Tonight that the writing process had already begun. "I just finished the script an hour ago. So we have a script. Brad and Ian and I, who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something."
