Ryan Murphy has finished writing a script for a "Glee" reboot — and he finished it, he says, an hour before announcing the news.

"Well, funny you ask, 'cause I just finished the script an hour ago," Murphy told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday. "So, we have a script. Brad [Falchuk], Ian [Brennan] and I, who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something. I've been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. It's very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea."

The confirmation ends months of speculation about a potential revival of the musical comedy. Murphy wrote the new script with Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, his collaborators on the first two seasons of the series, which originally ran for six.

One detail tempers the announcement: no one has read the script yet. "So I don't know, we'll see," Murphy said. "I vowed to myself that I wanted to write a couple of them to see what people think, particularly the cast, 'cause we were very close when we were making it."

The news follows public statements from the show's leading actress. Lea Michele, who played Rachel Berry across all six seasons, told E! News a week earlier that she would be happy to return. "I love 'Glee.' I will always love 'Glee.' I love Ryan Murphy. It just holds such a special place in my heart for me… I will follow Ryan wherever he goes," Michele said.

"Glee" premiered in September 2009 and became a defining network musical comedy of its era. The original cast, alongside Michele, included Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, Dianna Agron, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Heather Morris and Chris Colfer. Monteith died in 2013 and Rivera died in 2020.

Murphy's stated next step is writing additional scripts before any commitment takes shape. His emphasis on gauging the cast's reaction first suggests the reboot's fate rests on whether the original ensemble — or part of it — decides to return.
