Chris Colfer Says Glee Revival Talks Are Underway on Podcast
Actor Chris Colfer says talks about his return to the role of Kurt Hummel in the Glee revival are ongoing, but no deal has been reached yet.
Actor Chris Colfer has confirmed that talks are underway about his possible return to the role of Kurt Hummel in the revival of the series Glee. According to him, so far it is only a matter of negotiations rather than a concluded agreement, and further discussions are expected in the near future.
Colfer made the statement on the podcast Obsessed from The Daily Beast. He said he listened to the proposal for the revival and found it to be a funny and good idea. At the same time, he clearly specified that no concrete arrangements about his participation have been made yet, so it is too early to talk about a final decision.
The Glee revival is being developed for Disney+ and Hulu. News about the show's revival emerged at the end of October. According to reports, Lea Michele, who played Rachel Berry in the original series, has also agreed to return in one form or another. There is no official confirmation of her participation in the materials, so this information should be treated as a report rather than a confirmed arrangement.
Colfer also joked that he would agree to return if Sue and Shue performed the song "WAP." This joke is not a confirmation of participation, but it did show the relaxed tone of his conversation with the podcast hosts and the mood in which the actor approaches the idea of returning.
The original Glee aired on Fox and became one of the notable cultural phenomena of the last decade. The series combined musical numbers with social themes and earned a large fan community that still actively discusses the characters. Colfer won a Golden Globe for the role of Kurt, and his character was one of the central figures in the show's story. That is why any possible return of the actor is of particular interest to viewers.
At the same time, many questions remain open. Colfer does not yet have a confirmed role in the new project, and the storylines of the revival and Kurt's place in them have not been determined. The release date, broadcast timing, and final cast have also not been announced, so the further development of the story will depend on the results of the negotiations.
