“No spinoff, characters graduating, cool season next year.”That is how Fox boss Kevin Reilly sums up the future plan for Glee, which he said will not be shuttling several characters off to a New York-based spin-off.
“Here’s whats going on with Glee,” Reilly told the press at the Television Critics Association winter tour on Sunday. “We are graduating the characters that are [due] to graduate, and what’s come out of it is Ryan [Murphy] and the guys have come up with a really cool idea.
“There will not be a Glee spinoff, but those characters will graduate and it’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is gonna really give us something cool to dig into next season.”
Reilly offered no further details other than to say that the retention plan for the graduating characters will be laid out this spring, toward the end of the current season. Curiously, although Reilly confirmed that Lea Michele would definitely be back next fall, he later hedged when asked about co-star Chris Colfer.
“What I said before is creatively, we’d want everybody back,” he clarified. “I’ve got to look at the contractual situation for all of those. And we will.” When reminded that the original Glee cast initially signed long-term contracts, Reilly said, “Yeah, I don’t want to, again, get into details. I’m just trying to whet your appetite. But I think it’s going to be a good thing for the show. … It’s cool. It’s different.”
