A finished script exists, but the reboot remains at an early development stage: Ryan Murphy told Entertainment Tonight he "just finished the script an hour ago," and that he, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan have assembled the new material. Murphy said he has contacted roughly 10 members of the original ensemble, and described those conversations as warm and inquisitive. "It's very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea," he quoted the cast as saying.
Murphy also cautioned that the pages have not been broadly circulated. "Nobody's read it, so I don't know, we'll see," he said, adding that he had vowed to write a few episodes first to gauge the cast's response because the group had been close during the original run. Two months earlier he told People the show has "come back around," noting younger viewers were rediscovering the series and suggesting that prompted the idea to revisit it.
Glee, created by Murphy, Falchuk and Brennan, ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015. The series followed show choir coach Will Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, and his students as they negotiated competitions and high school life while performing contemporary pop covers.
The immediate consequence is practical: the creative team has a draft to use in conversations with former cast members and potential partners, but no wider reads or production commitments have followed Murphy's announcement. That leaves the project dependent on internal reactions, further discussions with the original ensemble and decisions by whatever creative or commercial partners would back a full relaunch.
What happens next appears procedural. The team is positioned to hold internal readings and extend conversations with cast and collaborators to test tone and direction. If those meetings go well, the project could move toward formal commitments; until then, the reboot exists as a completed script and a set of enthusiastic conversations rather than a production schedule or deal.
