Ryan Murphy confirms new Glee series coming to Disney+ and Hulu

The musical drama Glee is set to return on Disney+ and Hulu, with Lea Michele expected to reprise Rachel Berry.

A new season of the musical series Glee is officially in development for Disney+ and Hulu, according to a social-media announcement. Ryan Murphy, who co-wrote the first two seasons with Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, said he recently finished a script and has been in contact with about ten original actors, all of whom responded enthusiastically. Lea Michele is slated to return as Rachel Berry, though it remains unclear which other former cast members will join.

The news follows a surge of fan activity on TikTok and a recent interview where Murphy hinted at a reboot. The original series, which ran on Fox between 2009 and 2015, earned multiple Golden Globe nominations and saw several of its songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Its legacy is mixed, with past controversies and the deaths of three core cast members being noted by fans.

Why it matters

The revival brings a beloved series back to streaming, tapping into strong fan nostalgia and expanding Disney+/Hulu's content slate.
