Lea Michele on GLEE's 'Revolutionary' Season 4
There have been many questions and rumors regarding the fate of three of GLEE's main characters: Rachel (played by Broadway veteran Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith) and Kurt (Chris Colfer). As BroadwayWorld reported yesterday, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy had stated that he was looking into a spinoff for the trio, but according to TV Line, Fox Entertainment's president Kevin Reilly now says that "There will not be a Glee spinoff, but those characters will graduate."
That doesn't, as previously speculated, mean that the characters won't be returning. "It’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season."
In a recent interview with E!Online, Michele revealed that she knew that Murphy wouldn't 'steer fans in the wrong direction.' She continued: 'We just couldn't tell everybody exactly what was happening. It was the beginning of the season three and to start to talk about season four I think was unfair. Now it's midseason and it's definitely the right time to say yes, Rachel will be back next year, as will some of her other friends.'
Now in its third season, GLEE is a musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors including the Golden Globe and Peabody Award and singlehandedly made glee clubs cool again.
