The New Directions might be getting a few more familiar faces back for the upcoming 'Glee' reboot. Popcorn Wire has learned that Heather Morris and Chord Overstreet, who played beloved characters Brittany S. Pierce and Sam Evans in the original Fox series, are currently in talks to return for the new iteration. Sources close to the production confirmed their potential involvement to Deadline.

Morris’s portrayal of the ditzy yet endearing cheerleader Brittany quickly made her a fan favorite, known for her sharp dance moves and wonderfully nonsensical quips. Overstreet joined the series as transfer student Sam Evans, who became a prominent member of the William McKinley High School football team and, of course, the New Directions glee club, eventually becoming known for his impressive musical talents and romantic entanglements.

Their potential return builds on earlier buzz surrounding the reboot. Just last week, it was reported that Lea Michele, who famously played the ambitious lead Rachel Berry, was also in discussions to reprise her role. The news of these original cast members exploring a comeback comes after 'Glee' co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed last month that he had been in contact with “around 10 of the original cast members,” hinting at a significant reunion.

The 'Glee' reboot officially received a series order from Disney+ and Hulu earlier this week, signaling a new chapter for the beloved musical dramedy. The original show, which ran from 2009 to 2015, captivated audiences with its blend of high school drama, social commentary, and show-stopping musical performances. Set at William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, it followed the trials and triumphs of a diverse group of students in their competitive glee club, navigating everything from identity and acceptance to love and loss.

The series was a cultural phenomenon, earning numerous accolades, including six Emmy Awards, and launching the careers of many of its young stars. This new revival, produced by 20th Television—the same studio behind the original hit—aims to recapture that magic for a new generation of viewers while offering a nostalgic treat for long-time fans. As more original cast members enter talks, the prospect of seeing the New Directions back on screen becomes increasingly real.
