Ryan Murphy has finished a new Glee script, and he says around 10 original cast members are enthusiastic about the idea. It is the clearest sign yet that he is exploring a return to the musical series, though no actors have been confirmed and there is no release date.

Murphy began reconsidering Glee after seeing younger viewers discover the show. Now he wants to develop more scripts and hear what the cast thinks. Here is what he has said about the project so far.

Which Original 'Glee' Cast Members Could Return?

Lea Michele has publicly welcomed the possibility of returning. Asked about a potential Glee revival in September, she said the show holds a special place in her heart and spoke warmly about Ryan Murphy. She has not been announced as part of the new project.

Ryan Murphy has not named the original Glee cast members he contacted. He said he had spoken with around 10 of them and that they were enthusiastic about the idea, but no returning actors have been announced.

Murphy said nobody had read the script when he spoke about it on September 23. He wants to hear what former cast members think, but he has not announced that anyone has signed on or identified who might appear.

Not every former cast member has expressed interest in a reboot. Amber Riley previously said she did not want to do one, although she was open to a Mercedes-focused spinoff. She made those comments before Murphy announced the new script, so they should not be presented as her response to this particular project.

Why Ryan Murphy Is Bringing 'Glee' Back Now

In July, Murphy said Glee had “come back around” and that many young people were watching it. Their interest made him wonder whether it was time to revisit the series in some form. He has not yet explained what the new story would involve. The original Glee ran for six seasons and ended in 2015. In the U.S., viewers can currently stream the series on Hulu and Disney+, giving people who missed its Fox run a way to discover it.
