Glee reboot officially confirmed despite fans saying it would ‘tarnish show’s memory’

That’s right. After threatening to bring this six-season musical series back for a while, creator Ryan Murphy has finally followed through. The show will return to Disney Plus and Hulu in some form or another. I know you’re asking yourself in a frenzy, how on earth could this have happened? Where did we go so wrong? Well, what makes the official reboot all the more ominous is that we currently have no more information so it truly is a russian roulette. If you were somehow living under a rock between 2009 and 2015, then you may have missed the cultural juggernaut that is Glee which ran for six seasons starring an ensemble cast who dealt with everything from coming out as gay to teen pragnancy through the medium of song and dance. The original cast included Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Amber Riley, Heather Morris, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Harry Shum Jr as well as the late Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera who played Finn Hudson and Santana Lopez respectively. The series is a cultural time capsule, both shocking with its daring and offensive humour whilst also pushing the envelope for representation on screen. It’s a myriad of contradictions that could have only existed in the early 2010s. Aside from a series greenlight, we don’t have any other confirmation on what to expect (Picture: 20thCentFox/Everett/Shutterstock) What a 2026 version of this show would look like, I dread to think. If there’s one thing Glee fans seem to be united on, it’s that this has ‘bad idea’ written all over it. ‘I couldn’t see Glee being the same and would just tarnish the memory of what made us love Glee to begin with,’ Taylor swinub declared. ‘Ryan has made great stuff but also has had HARD misses so it would be a gamble to touch Glee again,’ Pixieplumm reflected. There is currently no release date for the Glee reboot.
