GLEEK OUT

‘Glee’ Creator Hints at Reboot of Iconic Show

“Maybe we should revisit the show,” Ryan Murphy teased amid a new wave of fans.

Glee’s co-creator and producer has spoken out about a potential reboot of the coming-of-age show. Ryan Murphy, the Emmy, Tony, and Grammy award-winning director of Fox’s hit series, told People, “I had a great time making that show... Maybe we should revisit [Glee].” The comedy-drama series follows a group of diverse teenagers who navigate the social politics of high school while finding escape in their school’s choir club. The once failing glee club was rebranded as the “New Directions,” led by Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison). Many of the show’s fans have adopted the term “Gleek,” a gleeful twist on the nerd-adjacent word “geek.” “It’s come back around,” Murphy, 60, said on the sometimes cringe-worthy but undoubtedly inspiring series. “I love that show, and I loved what it became, and what it meant to so many people.” The show earned six Emmy awards and four Golden Globes during its six-season tenure. Besides Glee, Murphy is well known for his work on the series American Horror Story and the film Prom.
