VIDEO: New GLEE Promo Features First Look at New Cast Members!

As BWW reported yesterday, Broadway's Samantha Ware will play Jane on the new season of GLEE, described as "a righteous, ambitious and unconventionally pretty gal, she's funny because she doesn't have much of a sense of humor. She wanted to be a Warbler, but tradition kept her from joining - so she jumps ship to the New Directions." Ware has appeared on Broadway as Nala in THE LION KING, and co-starred in The Book of Mormon's first national tour.

Below, check out an all new promo for the final season featuring Ware and fellow new cast member Noah Guthrie

The 2-Hour Season Premiere of GLEE airs FRI JAN 9 at 8/7c.

Entering its sixth and final 13-episode season, the musical comedy GLEE follows a group of ambitious and talented young adults in search of strength, acceptance and, ultimately, their voice. The sixth and final season premieres with a special two-hour event Friday, Jan. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Get a FIRST LOOK below!

Over the last five years, the series has followed a dynamic group of high school students from the halls of McKinley to the mean streets of New York City, as they embarked on LIFE AFTER high school. This season, after her humiliating failure as a TV actress, New Directions' original star, RACHEL BERRY (Golden Globe Award nominee Lea Michele), comes home to Lima to figure out what she wants to do next. Upon discovering that SUE SYLVESTER (Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch) has banished the arts at McKinley, Rachel takes it upon herself to reinstate and lead the GLEEclub. Meanwhile, BLAINE ANDERSON (Darren Criss), SAM EVANS (Chord Overstreet) and WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) have all found surprising new gigs in Ohio. Throughout the season, other alumnae also will return to McKinley.

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 53 million songs and more than 13 million albums sold worldwide, two sold-out concert tours, a 3-D movie, four Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, including the award for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. The series reached its milestone 100th episode this past season with a memorable rendition of the hit that put the show on the map, "Don't Stop Believin'."
