Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith leaving Glee
It seems "Glee" will soon be looking for some fresh, new faces to take over the halls of William McKinley High School.
In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, show co-creator Ryan Murphy divulged that Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith will be graduating at the end of the show's third season, saying that they are "not going to be back at all for Season four."
"We've never done anything by the book," said Ryan. "We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top."
Yeah, that was to be expected - they can't stay in high school forever, and they've already said cast members would be gone and new freshmen would come in. Besides, some actors probably want to try furthering their careers beyond Glee.
Hold the mutha****in press. Lea Michele aka Queen Rachel willst not be returning? I will not be watching season 4 then. How is there going to be a Glee without the Queen?
Like someone was saying earlier, It's exactly like Degrassi. I still watch it from time to time, but after Jimmy, Spinner, Paige, Marco, Ellie, etc left, I left too...
I like the idea that they renew the cast constantly, to make it more "real".
Sadly, that's not how the things work in tv. This is going to flop harder, and later, gonna be cancelled. Couldn't be more happy. *plays only Glee song I have*
