Production has begun for Neil Patrick Harris' guest sting on GLEE in the season's second installment, beginning April 13, 2010 at 9:30pm on FOX, and the behind-the-scenes footage of the episode has been released!

Neil Patrick Harris will be playing a former rival of Mr. Schu (Matthew Morrison) who's come back to town to try to shut down the show choir. Reports Entertainment Weekly: "Harris and on-screen rival Matthew Morrison will find themselves up for the same role in a community theater production - hence the "Dream On" duet/showdown [that had been] teased in Ausiello TV."

Recent winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

Due to the success of the first installment of the show, which aired last on December 9, FOX has already ordered a second season of the show and announced that it will soon be launching a nationwide search to cast three new roles, which will be documented on the network in the multi-part special. These newest additions will make their debut on the second season premiere.
GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.

GLEE returns to FOX from hiatus on April 13, 2010. For information on the upcoming GLEE tour this summer, visit www.gleetour2010.com.
