Everett Collection To quote Finn Hudson, “The show must go all over the place, or something.” He was right: “Glee” is back.
Disney+ and Hulu have greenlit a reboot of Ryan Murphy‘s famous (and infamous) musical dramedy series. “Glee” premiered on Fox in 2009 concluded in 2015 after six seasons of following a group of show choir members from Lima, Ohio as they dealt with the highs and lows of high school and beyond. It was a massive cultural phenomenon that is especially remembered for the blunt, sometimes controversial ways it tackled topics such as sexuality, race, disability, mental health and more — as well as its covers of songs like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Teenage Dream,” “River Deep, Mountain High” and “Smooth Criminal,” among others. The series remains popular today, as does its music, which averages 4.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
