The TV Chick

I figured this news was coming sooner or later, but I’m so happy to share it with you. Glee has been renewed for a 2nd season and there will be a nationwide search for 3 new Glee cast members.

The announcement was made today by FOX at the TCAs (Television Critics Association panels). According to reports, Fox entertainment President Kevin Reilly said: ”We’ve loved ‘Glee’ ever since it was a pilot script, so it’s been an incredible thrill to watch the show take root and see audiences embrace these characters in such a huge way this season. The show is a true and rare gem in television. We couldn’t be more proud of what Ryan Murphy and the ‘Glee’ team have created so far, and can’t wait to see what they come up with for Season Two.”

And about the search for new cast members, Ryan Murphy added:

“Glee has always been about finding new fresh exciting voices. Anybody and everybody now has a chance to be on a show about talented underdogs. No matter who you are — a Broadway talent or a struggling singing waiter with a dream in the Midwest — you now have an opportunity to make that dream come true by posting your talent video and showing us what you can do. All the roles will be chosen form the video audition process, which is exciting and unprecedented.”

I am so thrilled about this news, as you know my love for Glee knows no bounds. In addition to the 3 new Glee cast members, there will be a special chronicling the search. I’m not sure how I feel about this special, but I’m interested to see how the new cast members will factor in, and how they are chosen. But there will be more Glee, and that is something to celebrate!
