GLEE Season Two Details Revealed

Entertainment Weekly has revealed some of the details of GLEE's second season, less than twenty-four hours after the show's first season finale. In the exclusive article, Tim Stack dishes that the show will tackle society's lack of funding for the arts and will feature all new storylines for the McKinley misfits. Here's what the website found out about the series' sophomore season with commentary from Ryan Murphy, the show's creator:

"More Musical Tributes: "The Madonna episode was so popular, I think I'm gonna do two tribute episodes - one in the fall and one in the spring - and we're figuring out who those artists are."

New Characters: Murphy already let it slip that Susan Boyle might be appearing but he and producers are also looking to add some new members to the club, including a boyfriend for Kurt. "I just want him to be an everyday dude," says Murphy. "And I want him to be sort of struggling [with his sexuality] and Kurt helps him deal with it and in the process they fall for each other." Also look for a potential love interest for Mercedes and a Carrie Underwood-esque, Christian country singer who will be a rival to Rachel. "When people hear we're going to do that, they will expect that we're making fun of her," says Murphy. "We're not. The show is about inclusiveness and about giving voices to a lot of people."

A Major Season Finale: "I know that season two ends with Nationals in New York. I don't know if they'll make it - we haven't figured that out."

The second season of GLEE will premiere this September in a new 8:00pm timeslot on Tuesday nights.

Winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical), GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz. It has featured many Broadway stars in guest or recurring roles, among them Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Neil Patrick Harris. GLEE's season finale aired yesterday, June 8 at 9pm on FOX.
