Actor and author Chris Colfer has addressed whether he would participate in a potential revival of the musical series Glee. Deadline Film Adaptations and The Hollywood Reporter both report that Colfer has received no information regarding a reboot. Colfer played Kurt Hummel across six seasons of the original show. [1][2][6]

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Colfer stated in a Bustle interview published on Tuesday that he knows nothing and has heard absolutely nothing about a project. Creator Ryan Murphy recently completed a script for a potential revival. Colfer noted that returning would be difficult following the death of former co-star Naya Rivera, adding that the original production was a tough show to do. [2]

Colfer portrayed Kurt Hummel from 2009 to 2015 on the Fox musical comedy-drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan. His performance earned a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2011 alongside multiple Emmy and Grammy nominations. [2][6][8]
