It’s going to be hard for Gleeks to face the long, hot summer without any new Glee episodes, now that the first season has sadly come to an end. But those rabid fans are in luck: EW has some scoop on what we’ll be seeing next year. “We’re plotting the first 11 and we already know the first six of them and they’re really big fun, moving episodes,” says co-creator Ryan Murphy. “We always go back to the idea of how does our society treat and feel about funding for the arts, and the answer is not very good.” Here’s what else Murphy says to expect in Glee‘s second season:

• More Musical Tributes: “The Madonna episode was so popular, I think I’m gonna do two tribute episodes — one in the fall and one in the spring — and we’re figuring out who those artists are.”<LI sizset="96" sizcache="6">New Characters: Murphy already let it slip that Susan Boyle might be appearing but he and producers are also looking to add some new members to the club, including a boyfriend for Kurt. “I just want him to be an everyday dude,” says Murphy. “And I want him to be sort of struggling [with his sexuality] and Kurt helps him deal with it and in the process they fall for each other.” Also look for a potential love interest for Mercedes and a Carrie Underwood-esque, Christian country singer who will be a rival to Rachel. “When people hear we’re going to do that, they will expect that we’re making fun of her,” says Murphy. “We’re not. The show is about inclusiveness and about giving voices to a lot of people.”
• A Major Season Finale: “I know that season two ends with Nationals in New York. I don’t know if they’ll make it — we haven’t figured that out.”

Justin Timberlake is reportedly being lined up for a cameo role in Glee.
According to Absolute Now, the star is in discussions with producers to play the younger brother of singing coach Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), who he is thought to bear much resemblance to.
"There is more than a little resemblance between Justin and Matthew Morrison who plays Mr Schuester, so the plan to bring Justin in for a cameo as his younger brother is a very popular idea. They are just trying to work it all out at the moment," a source claimed.
"The cast members are very excited about the prospect of working with him - especially Lea Michele, so it has everybody's seal of approval. They just need to work it all out now. The idea is that he will be a substitute teacher and join the glee club for a week," the insider added.

Leona Lewis has reportedly landed a guest spot in Glee.
According to The Mirror, the singer will appear in the next season of the show.
Lewis allegedly celebrated the news with Glee star Matthew Morrison, who plays Will Schuester, in London club Mahiki last night.
Matt Lucas and Susan Boyle are also expected to have appearances on future episodes of the programme.

Oh god, this doesn't sound good for next season - so many guest stars, and theme episodes - I'm worried the plot is just going to disappear

paddyismaddy

i prefer if they stop with the guest stars and work on the current characters and supporting characters more

Richard Dower

I don't mind the odd guest apperance, but not in every damn ep. - it's like they are using Glee for their owns ends - publicity!

And enough with the tribute episodes!, while i enjoyed the Madonna episode it's a direction that could see Glee go to hell in a handbasket!

Hopefully this story from DS is good news, and looking forward to the Brittany episode already. She has to sing Hit Me Baby!

The creator of Glee has promised that the show's second season will focus on the original cast members.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Ryan Murphy explained that guest stars such as Charice and John Stamos will develop the current cast's plots.

"They're really there to support the main characters' stories," he said. "Like John Stamos is always going to be a part of Will's story. The emphasis in the second season is on our original characters even though we're adding a few smaller parts. You're gonna get more backstory on all of these kids."

However, Murphy explained that he is planning to expand Heather Morris's character Brittany because of the positive reaction from fans.

He revealed that Brittany will have her own episode, adding: "I feel an obligation to write more for people we already have that are great."

^ great news for Brittany/Heather!

Javier Bardem will guest-star — and rock out — on Glee next season, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The Oscar winner will play a rock star who befriends Artie he tells the magazine.
"We're going to rock the house," he says. "We're going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst."
The 41-year-old actor's guest spot was his own idea: Bardem, who watched the entire first season in a week, pitched the idea to his Eat, Pray, Love director and Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy.

Javier Bardem's far too talented for 'Glee'..

Here's one Glee fans should have seen coming: That upcoming Britney Spears-themed episode? It will revolve around New Directions' own Brittany (Heather Morris).
Of course!
Series creator Ryan Murphy tells TVGuide.com exclusively that McKinley High's deliciously ditzy Cheerio Brittany will be at the center of Season 2's tribute to Spears.
And it gets better. Brittany will be belting out not one, but two of the pop star's tunes. "Heather's actually got a terrific voice," Murphy says.
No word yet on which numbers they'll be, but just imagine the possibilities: Brittany could sing "Boys" (because she's hooked up with everyone, even Kurt) or "Toxic" (which could be her ode to Kurt!)
Would "Oops!...I Did It Again" be too obvious? Hmm...
Morris already seems sold on the idea. "I heard there's a Britney Spears episode coming up and fingers crossed that I get to sing, because I play Brittany and I'm like, 'Oh my god, it's insane,'" Morris told E! Online last month.
Glee fans won't have to wait long to find out how Morris sounds. Murphy said the Spears-powered hour will be the second episode to air next season.

Season 2 will begin in the US on Tuesday, Sept. 21 2010.

John Barrowman claims to be on the verge of securing a part in the new season of Glee after a recent meeting with show bosses.
The Desperate Housewives star, who recently announced his dream of playing one of Rachel Berry's gay dads, revealed that he is currently in talks to take on an unspecified role.
"I met with their casting people and I said I'd love to be in it," Barrowman told Now. "The ball's in their court, though."
Barrowman claimed to be discussing a possible role in the show back in March, but this was swiftly denied by executive producer Ian Brennan

The creator of Glee has revealed that there will be some changes to the characters' romances in the second season.

Speaking at Comic-Con, Ryan Murphy explained that Artie (Kevin McHale) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) will not stay together.

"We're writing an episode that I really like, where we find out that Tina has fallen out of love with Artie and in love with Mike," he said.

Murphy added that he is excited about Kurt (Chris Colfer) having a boyfriend, saying: "We definitely are going to do that. I always thought it was important for Kurt to have a high school experience that I didn't have. I want Kurt to be at a place where he's incredibly comfortable and proud about it. I want Kurt to have a boyfriend and make the Prom King and King. We're definitely going to do that in the second season."

Meanwhile, Naya Rivera and Heather Morris admitted that they are pleased fans are campaigning for their characters Santana and Brittany to begin a relationship and Murphy revealed that he is writing an episode "where we're debating whether they should kiss".

Murphy also explained that he wants to explore the characters' home lives more in the future.

"At some point we'll see Mercedes' home life, we'll see Artie's mother," he said. "I really wanna see who Rache's two gay dads are. I have a feeling Brittany has a really smart older sister."

Richard Dower

^ Murphy is talking to the press too much, giving tooo much away...he's constantly yappin to this and that media outlet....have some mystery dude!

I also read Murphy is "listening to the fans", that's fine in principle...but what about YOU having clear direction for the stories and scripts, if you get all your ideas from fans it'll get very messy.

They seem to be throwing everything into the mix in S2....i keep getting an OC debacle here, like it'll all go downhill from here.

Fox announced today that Chord Overstreet (iCarly) will join Glee as Sam, Finn’s protégé who quickly becomes the New Directions singer’s competition. Overstreet’s role will be recurring.

Cheyenne Jackson has joined the season two cast of Glee, reports claim.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the 30 Rock cast member will play rival singing coach Shelby Corcoran, succeeding Wicked actress Idina Menzel.

However, despite being seemingly replaced at Vocal Adrenaline, Menzel's character will apparently continue to make occasional appearances due to being Rachel's biological parent.

Jackson recently landed a recurring guest stint in HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Richard Dower

Too many guests, why not concentrate on the core Glee group?...plenty of characters.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Jonathan Groff will return to the show in the future.

Groff appeared in several episodes of the first season as Jesse St. James, a love interest for Rachel (Lea Michele).

"Jonathan is doing a play in London until January," Murphy told E! Online. "But yeah, as it moves towards the big competition, I think he has to come back and give Rachel a pep talk, don't you? So yes, he will be back."

Murphy confirmed that Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth will return and admitted that he would love Neil Patrick Harris to reprise his role as Bryan Ryan.

"We have a little problem that he's a regular on another show [How I Met Your Mother]," he said. "But he's in the Fox family and they help us out a great deal with that. I think we've just begun to see the tip of the villainry for Bryan Ryan."

Murphy added that he will soon be writing a guest role for Javier Bardem, who requested an appearance on the show.

"I hadn't met him, so I went up to him and I said, 'Buddy, congratulations on your Best Actor nomination at Cannes'," Murphy explained. "And he said, 'I do not want to talk about that. I want to talk about Glee'.

"He rented the whole first season and watched them and said it was like crack to him. And he loved what it was about and he asked if I would write him a role. He said, 'I want to be a Spanish rock and roll star'. And so I'm going to see him this week and we'll see how he's going to fit in. It will definitely be in the second half of the season."

Adam Shankman is joining the Glee team. The feature director (Hairspray) and So You Think You Can Dance judge is a friend of Murphy's, and he's coming aboard to direct an episode that will air near the beginning of the season.
There will be a Christmas episode. Murphy's hoping that Susan Boyle will sign on to spread holiday cheer.
Rachel, Finn and the gang will write their own music. Music producer Adam Anders has already contacted several songwriters to pen new tunes that will debut on an all-originals episode.

Hold it, Idina is Shelby, surely Jackson will come in as a new coach rather than as Shelby???

I agree, too many stars looking to get on the Glee train to boost their profile, and too many of these theme shows that derail the show. I'd prefer it with a proper storyline through the series rather than random episodes!

Scarinae

The problem with listening to fan suggestions is that they've ended up throwing in random storylines and not exploring them properly. Apparently it was fans who suggested that Shelby should be Rachel's biological mother, so they wrote it in, and look how badly that was handled!
- I'm her mom, I want a real relationship with her but boohoo I can't contact her so I'll contrive an elaborate ruse involving a student to get a tape to her, oh look she's figured out I'm her mother and I'm freaked out because I somehow wasn't expecting this (??), I'll sing one song with her and then effectively disappear until the end of the series, and then on a whim I will adopt someone else's baby

The shows producers announced that Idina Menzel would be playing Shelby, and then the fans saw the physical resemblance between Lee and Menzel, and wanted Menzel to be her mother. It was not a surprise to anyone that she did turn up to be her mother, but I totally agree the producers handled it very poorly. The random storylines are starting to impact badly on the show - they need some continuity!

George Michael is to be the subject of a Glee tribute episode.

Glee character Kurt's wait for a boyfriend will soon be over, according to Jane Lynch.

The actress, who plays sadistic sports teacher Sue Sylvester in the hit US TV show, told E! Online that actor Chord Overstreet had been cast in the show.

Chord will play Chris Colfer's on-screen boyfriend.

"They've cast him already," Jane said.

"He becomes the new star quarterback and he's going to be Kurt's boyfriend."

Jane described Chord as "a good looking kid", saying: "He's tall, boyish with straight blonde hair and big fat, pouty lips."

Dot Jones has signed with Glee and will make her debut on season two of the show.

The former champion weight lifter and female athlete of the year has previously starred in in Cougar Town, Nip Tuck and has reportedly been a favourite with Glee creator Ryan Murphy ever since she appeared in his unaired 2008 pilot Pretty/Handsome alongside future Glee players Mike O’Malley (Kurt’s dad, Burt) and Jonathan Groff (Jesse).
In her next role, Dot will grace the William McKinley practice field and sources report that the 46 year old actress will star as the school’s new football coach in season two.
Our first thought was that the burly star may be Glee’s first recurring lesbian character? But Chris Colfer (Kurt) insisted:
“No, no. There’s only room on the show for one gay character.”

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Glee-Premiere-Fox-1022702.aspx

Lots has happened to McKinley High's ragtag glee club over the summer. One original member of New Directions transferred to a new school. Quinn lost her baby weight. Finn and Rachel are still together, but Artie got dumped. So did Terri. And Coach Tanaka.

The first day back at school brings even more surprises. In Glee's second season premiere, which Fox screened for a lucky crowd on Tuesday, Rachel will meet her new competition, Finn will bust a move for Coach Sue, Mr. Schu will make an unlikely ally, the football team will get to know its new coach, and two potential glee club recruits will meet the gang. TVGuide.com spoke to the writers and cast at the afterparty, and present these 10 semi-spoilery highlights:
Shaft is out. New Directions will start the season one man down. Matt (Dijon Talton), aka Shaft, according to Coach Sue (Jane Lynch), has left McKinley. His smooth moves were sort of overshadowed by fellow football player-turned-glee clubber Mike Chang (Harry Shum). Did Matt even speak? We honestly don't recall. But he was one of the starting 12, and because of that we will miss him. Then again, that means there are openings...
The new kids can sing. Pint-sized dynamo Sunshine Corazon (guest star Charice) will not only engage in a mini-sing-off with super-jealous Rachel (Lea Michele), she'll take the stage solo for a diva-licious number from Dreamgirls. (Hint: It's the one they added to the movie so Beyonce wouldn't play second banana to Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You.") Meanwhile, reluctant, pouty-mouthed glee clubber Sam (Chord Overstreet) will jam with the boys to Travie McCoy's aspirational-if-obnoxious acoustic tune "Billionaire." As sung by Overstreet, however, it's simple and lovely.
Someone got a boob job. But we can't say who. Let's just say her new pair will put her at the bottom of the pyramid.
Cory Monteith is slimming down for the Rocky Horror episode. Why? You may have heard Lea Michele give it away at the Emmys: Finn is going to be donning the infamous mankini. (Matthew Morrison too? Maybe.) Monteith, who plays Finn, says he's been running laps and eating lots of chicken breast to prepare. "I just think if I'm going to be taking the shirt off and wearing the mankini, I owe it to our viewers. Really," the actor says. But a strict regimen is not what he prefers. "If no one cared, I would not work out."
Elsewhere in the episode, Emma(Jayma Mays) will be singing the risqué "Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me," says co-executive producer Ian Brennan. Does this mean Mr. Schu (Matthew Morrison) will get lucky? Or her new dentist beau Dr. Carl Howell (John Stamos)? Both will appear in the episode, set to air on Halloween. Fun fact: Mays actually sang the song for her Glee audition — so she knows it pretty well.
Tina likes abs. Hold the "Poor Artie." It turns out that Artie (Kevin McHale) wasn't the best boyfriend over the summer. Something about a Halo marathon taking up his time? Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) couldn't help but stray to the well-defined, six-pack abs of Mike while the two attended Asian Camp together. Yeah, it's like band camp, only for Asians.
Terri will get a new man. Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) isn't in the first episode — and neither is Emma, in case you're wondering — but Gilsig says Mr. Schu's ex is waiting in the wings. And she's not alone. "I'm going to start a relationship with somebody, and it's going to, by its nature, put me around Will," she says. Before you start flashing back to the weirdness between Finn and Terri last season, the actress assures us that Terri won't be dating a student. A teacher perhaps? Someone of "authority," she says.
Did we mention the premiere's catfight?Slapping, smack-talking, slamming into lockers — it's the real deal. Not everyone is happy that Quinn is back on top of the Cheerios.
Finn will have a crisis of faith. At least, that's what we're assuming. Monteith says Finn will have lots to do in Glee's third episode, which is all about religion. We've already heard that Mercedes (Amber Riley) will be bringing Kurt (Chris Colfer) to church with her, and now we also know that Finn will be singing REM's "Losing My Religion." Monteith adds only that Finn has plenty on his mind at that moment.
Rachel gets another aggressive suitor. For a spotlight—hogging choir girl, Rachel sure does attract a lot of boys. Last year she made out with Puck (Mark Salling), dated Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff), and still wound up with Finn. Who's next? Josh Sussman, who plays McKinley's roving gossip blogger Jacob, says he'll be getting a shot — sort of. "My character is hornier than ever," Sussman says. "[I'm going] after Rachel Berry. In Season 1, I wanted to see her bra, then I got Rachel Berry panties. Now I want more, and I go for it."
Brittany will have a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. Heather Morris, who plays the ditsy Cheerio, wouldn't say either way. "I have a relationship with another glee club member. Whether it's a boy or girl, I don't know... I don't kiss and tell." Ah, but there is that kiss she'll share with Santana (Naya Rivera), right? Maybe it will be more than a fleeting girl-on-girl moment?

Does anyone know when Glee's officially starting on tv3? I'm hoping on the 22nd since they were the day after for the last half of the 1st series!
