The acclaimed showrunner shared the update with Deadline, stating that he "just finished" the script. Murphy collaborated with fellow Glee co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, the same trio responsible for writing the show's initial two seasons, to craft the new iteration. This marks a significant step forward after Murphy first hinted at a possible revival just two months prior, noting the series' unexpected resurgence in popularity among younger audiences.

Murphy indicated that he has already reached out to approximately ten members of the original ensemble. While none have yet had the chance to read the new material, their initial reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Murphy told Deadline, "It’s very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea." He added that his next step is to get the script into the hands of the cast, emphasizing the close bond formed during the show's original run.

Despite the enthusiasm and the completed script, the project remains in its early stages. Sources close to the production, 20th Television, confirm that a platform for the potential series has not yet been secured. This means that while the creative team is ready, the show still needs a network or streaming service to call home.

Glee, which originally aired on Fox from 2009 to 2015 for six seasons, captivated audiences with its blend of musical performances and high school drama. The series centered on the trials and triumphs of the glee club at William McKinley High School, led by optimistic Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), as they navigated personal challenges and aimed for national show choir glory through their renditions of popular songs. Its unique format and memorable characters left a lasting cultural impact, and the prospect of its return has long been a topic of discussion among its dedicated fanbase. The completion of a script, coupled with the original cast's early interest, suggests that a return to the halls of McKinley High could be closer than ever.
