Chris Colfer Coming Back for GLEE's 4th Season

There have been many questions and rumors regarding the fate of three of GLEE's main characters: Rachel (played by Broadway veteran Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith) and Kurt (Chris Colfer). As BroadwayWorld reported yesterday, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy had stated that he was looking into a spinoff for the trio, but according to TV Line, Fox Entertainment's president Kevin Reilly now says that "There will not be a Glee spinoff, but those characters will graduate."

Despite previous reports that Chris Colfer (Kurt) might not return for the fourth season, Colfer confirmed with Insider.com that he'll be back. Colfer told Insider: 'Yes. I'm coming back. I'm very excited. A lot of people are sad there won’t be a spinoff but I think they're going to be very very excited to find out what's in store – I'm very excited by it. Ryan's idea is kind of revolutionary. It's the best of both worlds. Everyone is going to like it.'

Now in its third season, GLEE is a musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors including the Golden Globe and Peabody Award and singlehandedly made glee clubs cool again.
