Chris Colfer Addresses Possible Glee Reboot and Script Progress

Actor Chris Colfer has stated that he has not been contacted about a potential revival of the musical comedy-drama series Glee. Speaking to Bustle in an interview published on October 6, 2026, Colfer noted that he knows nothing and has heard absolutely nothing about a reboot. His comments came after series co-creator Ryan Murphy recently revealed that he had finished working on a script for the show, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. [1]

Colfer expressed hesitation regarding a potential return to the franchise, noting that the original series was demanding to produce. He explained that making the show again would be particularly difficult following the death of his former co-star Naya Rivera, according to the Hollywood Reporter. [1]

Colfer portrayed the character Kurt Hummel, a fashionable countertenor who navigates social challenges and high school life in Lima, Ohio, across six seasons of the Fox series. Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, Glee premiered in May 2009 and focused on high school students competing in a show choir circuit while performing musical numbers. [1][6][8]
