Glee | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The members of Glee‘s New Directions are all grown up, and many of them have started families of their own since the show concluded in 2015.

Fans watched the stars of the beloved show grow up on their TV screens. Eight years after saying farewell, many of them have moved on and developed successful careers in Hollywood.

Nine of them have also become parents to children! Another has a standing offer to become a parent if they are ever in that phase of their life. In fact, there are almost enough children between the cast members for them to start their own show choir with the mandatory 12 members! How does that sound for a spinoff?!

We gathered together all of the McKinley High alumni who have gone on to start families after graduating.

Barbie is the biggest movie of 2023, and some Gleeks are noticing a connection between the pink-hued masterpiece and the hit musical TV show.

It’s been eight years since the final episode of Glee aired, but this connection has spurred the belief that, if the two projects exist in the same universe, one of the characters is thriving in Hollywood.

There’s also a pretty good chance that you missed the connection!

No, that character is not Lea Michele‘s Rachel Berry or any of the members of the New Directions. However, co-stars and former members of the show choir Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz reacted to the news on a recent episode of their And That’s What You REALLY Missed podcast.

There’s only one more week of performances until Funny Girl closes on Broadway and Lea Michele ends he run as Fanny Brice.

The 36-year-old actress has been fulfilling a storyline that happened on Glee when her character Rachel Berry starred in the first-ever Broadway revival of Funny Girl after idolizing Barbra Streisand while growing up, just as Lea herself did.

Some of Lea‘s Glee castmates have already rushed to see her in the musical during the first two months of her run, while some other former co-stars have publicly voiced that they will not be attending the show.

The Glee cast came out in full force for the SAG-AFTRA Strike on Wednesday (August 23)!

10 former stars of the hit Fox series reunited on the picket line, protesting right in front of Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, which is where the series was filmed.

Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Kevin McHale (Artie), Darren Criss (Blaine), and Heather Morris (Brittany) met up with Becca Tobin (Kitty), Vanessa Lengies (Sugar), Dot Marie Jones (Coach Beiste), Jacob Artist (Jake), Josh Sussman (Jacob), and even Principal Figgins actor, Iqbal Theba.

Samuel Larsen, Max Adler, Curt Mega and Michael Hitchcock, and writer/co-creator Brad Falchuk were also there.

The cast of Glee hit the map as some of the brightest rising stars on the scene when the musical series debuted in 2009.

However, the lineup of the New Directions might have been very different. In the years since Glee debuted, we’ve learned that a slew of actors auditioned for the show or expressed interest in making a cameo in an episode or two.

Some cast members even auditioned for different parts before they were finally cast.

During an interview with Kevin McHale and Jenna Uskhowitz on their And That’s What You REALLY Missed Glee podcast, casting director Robert J. Ulrich opened up about the casting process.

“I really loved every single role and was happy and proud of all of you in every role. That is the truth,” he said.

He noted, though, that “the most difficult roles were Finn and Mercedes for sure.”

“Ryan [Murphy] really wanted Finn to be this believable high school jock and yet to sing great. We had flown people out from New York. We had so many auditions,” he recalled. That makes sense, as we have since learned that a multitude of actors were up for the role that ultimately went to Cory Monteith.

The interview made us curious, and we decided to do some digging to see what the cast could have looked like had things gone differently. We put the potential cast together in a list. Would you have guessed that all of these stars were almost involved in Glee?

Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz spilled the tea on kissing their Glee co-stars during a recent episode of their And That’s What You Really Missed podcast.

The former castmates and friends, who played Artie Abrams and Tina Cohen-Chang on the hit series, opened up about the topic during a Q&A where they answered questions submitted by fans.

They touched on the group’s habit of playing “gender blind” spin the bottle before revealing their “best” on-screen kisses. Jenna also recalled a filmed kiss that was “aggressive.”
