Ryan Murpher, executive producer of 'Glee,' is hard at work crafting the third season of his hit series. Some amiliar faces will be graduating, others will stay behind. The same musical prowess permiating the show's success will continue, but it might be scaled back. How about only one tribute episode?

Everyone's favorite 'villian' Sue Sylvester will be back with an astonishing 20-episode arc which will also feature the winner of Oxygen's 'The Glee Project.'

The soon-to-be graduates of William McKinley High School will also be experiencing a bit more character development, and viewers get a deeper look into their personal lives.

"I'm really interested in seeing Rachel's gay dads whom we've never met. I've said that I don't want to do that. But maybe now is the time to do it. Also, we want to give Chris Colfer a really fun uplifting story line after the heaviness of last year."

So what will season three have in store for The New Directions?

"The great thing about season three is we're writing toward something [the characters' senior years in high school]. There is a conclusion, which is great for a writer. We literally just started [planning out the season]. So I don't know for sure what will happen with those characters I love and everybody else has loved."
