Why Glee Co-Creator Brad Falchuk Is Unsure About A Reboot

While Brad Falchuk appears to be hesitant toward the idea of a "Glee" reboot in the future, his fellow co-creator Ryan Murphy has indicated interest several times in recent years. During an appearance in 2022 on the "Glee" rewatch podcast "And That's What You REALLY Missed," the creative spoke about a potential reboot. "I'm at the phase now with that show, where it's like, well, there's been enough time," he said. "Maybe we should re-examine it as a brand. Should we do a reboot of it in some way? Should we do a Broadway musical of it in some way? It's sort of an interesting legacy that I'm interested in doing in a positive way after sort of pausing for a while."

Murphy subsequently elaborated on his feelings toward a potential "Glee" reboot and how he would approach it in a 2023 episode of "And That's What You REALLY Missed." "Part of me feels like, well, wouldn't it be great to do another run of that show and do a lot of other songs and pay tribute to things?" he said. "How fun would that be?" Murphy went on to say that he would like to bring the show back to its first-season roots, recapturing what made the show successful at its start.

While their levels of enthusiasm may vary, it seems both Falchuk and Murphy haven't written off the idea of a "Glee" revival completely. As for whether a project does eventually end up happening, only time will tell.
