Actors Heather Morris and Chord Overstreet are in talks to return for a planned Glee reboot series, Deadline reported. The upcoming show has received a series order at streaming services Disney+ and Hulu, according to TVLine. [1][2][6]

Morris portrayed cheerleader Brittany S. Pierce in the original musical comedy-drama series, Deadline and Wikipedia reported. Overstreet played transfer student and athlete Sam Evans, who joined the school glee club New Directions, according to Deadline. [1][7][8]

The potential returns follow news that former co-star Lea Michele is also in negotiations to reprise her role as Rachel Berry, IMDb and TheWrap both reported. Meanwhile, Yahoo reported that former cast member Becca Tobin expressed concerns about being excluded from the revival project. [3][4][5]

The television show Glee originally aired on Fox from 2009 to 2015, Wikipedia noted. As FTMQ Books reported earlier, creator Ryan Murphy recently completed a script for the reboot, though former star Chris Colfer previously stated he had not been contacted about returning. [7][10]
