GLEE to Get Early Season Two Renewal?

Fans of GLEE may not have to wait until Spring to see the much-anticipated return of McKinley High's Glee club. According to a report in The Wrap, the show's tremendous success and growing fan base is prompting Fox executives to contemplate an early season two renewal for the beloved hit musical TV show.

Aside from the obvious rejoicing of hordes of fans, an early greenlight for the show would have other benefits. "It would give (Ryan) Murphy time to start planning season two as soon as he can (part two of season one is just beginning production). And the entire Fox machine, from marketing to media relations, would be able to begin thinking about what's next for the show.", says The Wrap.

There is no word yet on when, or if,  an announcement regarding an early season renewal will be made by FOX.
