Heather Morris has an explanation for where Brittany S. Pierce has been for the last decade, and honestly it is better than most pilots: "Brittany S Pierce was in fact lost in the sewers for all these years. But I'm here to inform you that she is alive and well," she wrote, and then: "And back for more #Glee."

That was her Instagram caption on Wednesday, per TVLine, a few hours after Disney+ and Hulu gave a series order to a Glee reboot from 20th Television, the studio behind the original. The show's own account confirmed the return with the caption "Currently gleeking out!", the Los Angeles Times reports.

what disney actually announced

Almost nothing, which is very Glee of them. No plot, no production details and no cast, TheWrap reports. Deadline noted that no casting was announced as part of the order. There is no premiere date and no word on whether this is the old glee club grown up or a new batch of kids in Lima, Ohio.

What we do know is that the script exists. Ryan Murphy told Entertainment Tonight in September that he, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, "who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something." He said he had "been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members," who "all were very enthusiastic about the idea."

is lea michele coming back

Reportedly, yes, though the outlets disagree on how far along it is. Variety reported that Michele will return as Rachel Berry, citing multiple sources. TheWrap said she is "in talks." Representatives for Disney and Michele declined TheWrap's request for comment. Chord Overstreet, Sam on the original, posted "Reunited and it feels so good!" on X, which is a vibe and not a contract.

Not everyone is sold. Chris Colfer, who was singing Glee duets with Darren Criss this month, told Bustle on Oct. 6 that "it would be really hard to do it now that Naya [Rivera] is gone," while admitting fans "would probably come after me with pitchforks and jazz hands if I said no." Three members of the original cast have died, and how a reboot handles that is the question nobody at Disney has answered yet.

We will be watching every second of it, and we will be insufferable about it in the group chat. Rachel Berry would want it that way.
