Ryan Murphy is considering a Glee reboot

A return to McKinley High School's Glee club isn't impossible according to Ryan Murphy who has teased the possibility of a reboot of his hit musical series.

In case you haven’t had a chance to watch Glee (seriously, where have you been?) the comedy-drama focused on a glee club at the fictional William McKinley High School.

“I’m at the phase now with the show where it’s like, well, there’s been enough time. Like, maybe we should really re-examine it as a brand. You know, should we do a reboot of it in some way? Should we do a Broadway musical of it in some way?” he said.

“It’s sort of like an interesting legacy that I’m interested in doing in a positive way after sort of pausing for a while. But I don’t know. I just love what it says and what it did. And there will never be in my life another Glee, anything close to it, in terms of me, feeling so close to it.”

In the same podcast, Murphy - who once had his own stint in singing - also explained how the show came to be.

He met his future collaborator Ian Murphy at a gym where he was given the initial pilot script for Glee. "Like serendipity, I went to the gym and I was in a towel, and a guy went up and handed me a script and he said, ‘I had a feeling you were in show choir; am I right?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And he said, ‘My friend wrote this script, and you should read it.’”

While Murphy considers a Glee reboot, the show's legacy will be the focus of an upcoming documentary series which will tell the 'real' story behind the show.
