POLICY WIRE — New York, USA — Speculation regarding a potential revival of the hit musical series Glee has reached a fever pitch following a cryptic remark from co-creator Ian Brennan. The writer addressed the possibility of a reunion while attending the red carpet premiere of his latest Netflix collaboration with Ryan Murphy, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.
Brennan offered a brief but intriguing response when asked about the show’s future. I’ll say this: I would follow both of them to a Glee reboot. And that’s all I can say, he stated, before advising fans to watch this space.
The conversation surrounding a reboot has gained momentum recently, with both Ryan Murphy and star Lea Michele expressing openness to the idea. During a New York Fashion Week appearance, Michele noted that she loves Glee and that it holds a special place in her heart, adding that she would follow Murphy wherever he goes.
Murphy, who co-created the series alongside Brennan and Brad Falchuk, shared similar sentiments in a July interview with People. He noted that the show has seen a resurgence in popularity among younger audiences, leading him to consider whether a new incarnation of the series might be well-received.

Originally airing on Fox from 2009 to 2015, Glee followed the journey of the New Directions glee club and secured six Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes. The ensemble cast featured Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Kevin McHale, and Amber Riley, as well as the late actors Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, and Naya Rivera.
The production was not without its challenges, as various controversies surfaced during and after its run, including allegations of bullying directed at Michele, who subsequently issued a public apology. Despite these issues, the show remains a significant cultural touchstone.
Beyond their work on Glee, Murphy and Brennan have maintained a prolific creative partnership, collaborating on projects such as Scream Queens, The Politician, and the Monster anthology series. The latest installment, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, premiered on Netflix this Thursday.
The new series explores the historical true crime case of Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted for the murders of her father and stepmother in the late 1800s. The cast includes Ella Beatty, Billie Lourd, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, and Vicky Krieps.
