As Glee fans anxiously await the return of the FOX musical dramedy Glee on February 25th, show creator and writer Ryan Murphy shared some exciting news about original cast members Dianna Agron (Quinn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Mark Salling (Puck) and Heather Morris (Brittany), who recently returned to the set to appear in the milestone 100th episode.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Murphy shared that the actors will not only be seen walking the halls of their alma mater, McKinley HIgh, but will be following the rest of the cast as they journey to New York City for the remainder of the season.

Revealed Murphy, "Right now, we're focusing on, um, some of The Originals - most of The Originals - doing sort of a six-, seven-epsiode run, all in New York. And then after that, we'll have a couple of big surprises that we'll announce probably closer to the end of this year."

About the show:

Glee is a musical comedy about a group of ambitious and talented kids who escape the harsh realities of high school by joining a Glee club, where they find strength, acceptance and, ultimately, their voice. Last year's graduates and aspiring singers, RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michelle) and KURT HUMMEL (Chris Colfer), packed their bags for New York and enrolled at a prestigious performing arts school, NYADA, where they made new friends and learned the cruel realities of college. These naïve freshmen moved into a Brooklyn loft, signed up for internships, auditioned for Broadway shows and gained a roommate when SANTANA LOPEZ (Naya Rivera) moved to the Big Apple.

Since its debut, Glee has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors, including a Golden Globe Award and a Peabody Award, and singlehandedly made Glee clubs cool again. The series boasts critical acclaim, a die-hard fan base, two Grammy Award nominations, two platinum and five gold albums, more than 43 million songs and more than 13 million albums sold worldwide, two sold-out concert tours, a 3-D movie and four Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, including the award for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical.
