- Streaming platforms Disney+ and Hulu have ordered a reboot of the hit television musical series Glee, with co-creators Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and Brad Falchuk involved in the project.
- Original lead Lea Michele is reported to return as Rachel Berry, despite previously facing allegations from former co-stars regarding bullying and toxic on-set behaviour.
- The prospective revival must contend with the tragic deaths of key original cast members, including Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, and Naya Rivera, which cast a shadow over the show's legacy.
