PEOPLE has shared exclusive bonus footage featuring Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Darren Criss and more GLEE cast members on their last day ever on the set of the FOX dramedy. Watch the footage below!

The video is part of a bonus feature from the GLEE - The Complete Series DVD/Blu-ray, which is scheduled to be released on May 19th.

Explains Criss, "emotions are pretty tender today," adding that he's "just trying to take in as much as possible."

Offers Harry Shum Jr. "It was a nice feeling to know that we accomplished all this. Now it's time to let it go and move on, even though we've built this incredible family. Michele shares, "I couldn't be more proud of everyone here. Rachel said we passed the legacy on, and we really ... we won."

About GLEE:

GLEE follows a group of ambitious and talented young adults in search of strength, acceptance and, ultimately, their voice. The sixth and final season premieres with a special two-hour event Friday, Jan. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Over the last five years, the series has followed a dynamic group of high school students from the halls of McKinley to the mean streets of New York City, as they embarked on LIFE AFTER high school. This season, after her humiliating failure as a TV actress, New Directions' original star, RACHEL BERRY (Golden Globe Award nominee Lea Michele), comes home to Lima to figure out what she wants to do next. Upon discovering that SUE SYLVESTER (Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch) has banished the arts at McKinley, Rachel takes it upon herself to reinstate and lead the GLEEclub. Meanwhile, BLAINE ANDERSON (Darren Criss), SAM EVANS (Chord Overstreet) and WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) have all found surprising new gigs in Ohio. Throughout the season, other alumnae also will return to McKinley.

Since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors, including a Golden Globe Award and a Peabody Award, and singlehandedly made GLEE clubs cool again. The series boasts critical acclaim, a die-hard fan base, two Grammy Award nominations, two Platinum and five Gold albums, more than 53 million songs and more than 13 million albums sold worldwide, two sold-out concert tours, a 3-D movie, four Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, including the award for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. The series reached its milestone 100th episode this past season with a memorable rendition of the hit that put the show on the map, "Don't Stop Believin'."

GLEE has attracted A-list guest stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Shirley MacLaine, John Stamos, Kristin Chenoweth, Olivia Newton-John, Britney Spears, Neil Patrick Harris, Peter Facinelli, June Squibb, Demi Lovato and Adam Lambert, among many others.

GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century FOX Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk, Brennan and Dante Di Loreto serve as executive producers. "Like" GLEE on Facebook and download the Facebook Fan Page app at facebook.com/Glee.
