Glee: Next Season Will Be A Lot Smaller!
So this week a lot of news has dropped regarding who is and isn’t coming back next season on “Glee.” I’ve fallen behind with reporting news bits, because I just have so much going on personally. My bad! I’m trying to get back to it, and this is one of those posts.
According to tweets from Ryan Murphy himself, Heather Morris (Brittany), Diana Agron (Quinn), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike Chang), Amber Reilly (Mercedes) and Mark Salling (Puck) are not returning next season as regulars. This doesn’t count out guest stints. Really, based on last season, the major loss is Heather Morris. I expected this though as the actress is also expecting a child.
Jamaya Mays (Emma) just got cast in a new CBS show “The Millers” . . . so her screen time will be limited too. Not that she was on all that much last season either.
The Hollywood Reporter has indicated that Melissa Benoist (Marley), Jacob Artist (Jake), Becca Tobin (Kitty), Blake Jenner (Ryder) and Alex Newell (Unique) all are now series regulars for next season. This seems to dispel the original rumors/plans/musings that the show was going to start focusing more on the originals in the New York/Post-High School years. It seems we will still be left with a very much split show between New York and Ohio.
Personally I was rooting more for an eclectic New York scene, with less focus on Rachel. I worry eventually the high school thing will be played out. How many times can we watch and root for them to win Nationals? I mean remember when Fame was on its 18th season . . .
Well, that’s not really a big shock, since none of them (except for Brittney) were regulars this season anyway.
