Disney+ and Hulu Order Glee Reboot with Original Creators

Disney+ and Hulu have officially issued a formal series order for a revival of “Glee,” marking the return of the musical comedy-drama 11 years after it concluded its original run. The announcement, made on October 21, 2026, confirms that the franchise will return under the production of 20th Television, its original studio home.

The project reunites the core creative trio responsible for the show’s initial success. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan—who served as the sole writers for the series’ first two seasons—have signed on to write the new script. Murphy reportedly finalized the pilot script in late September 2026, roughly four weeks before the networks provided the formal greenlight.

The formal series order to the Glee reboot follows Ryan Murphy confirming in September 2026 that he had finished writing a script for the revival.

Regarding the potential return of the original New Directions, Murphy has reported that he is in contact with approximately 10 original cast members. While the specific lineup remains unconfirmed, the announcement follows a high-profile reunion in London where Darren Criss and Chris Colfer performed “Baby It’s Cold Outside” at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this month. The performance quickly went viral, fueling speculation about the cast’s involvement in future projects.

However, the timeline for securing the full ensemble appears to be ongoing. Whether the new series will serve as a direct continuation of previous storylines or a soft reboot introducing a new generation of students has not yet been specified.

The original “Glee” ran for six seasons on Fox, ending in 2015. During its tenure, it became a massive commercial success, known for its chart-topping cover songs and its focus on the social dynamics of a high school show choir. The revival aims to recapture that momentum for a new streaming era.
