Glee will introduce two new characters in the upcoming third season.

The two female parts will be recurring roles, TV Line reports.

The first character is described as "Adele meets Susan Boyle". She is expected to have a great voice and be of high school age, although the actress playing her must be at least 18.

Rebecca, the second role, will be a beautiful and versatile singer.

The two new characters will join the winner of The Glee Project, the new reality show which premieres on Oxygen on June 12. The victor will be given a seven-episode arc on Glee.

Glee star Matthew Morrison recently admitted that he expects the show to change over the next few seasons and confessed that the scripts are often written at the last minute.

The series will return for its third season on Fox this fall.

I love Glee, but I really think this show need to work on the characters they have now, and develop their storylines more, rather than bringing in more people. Also (a bit off topic) STOP THE TRIBUTE EPISODES! The Britney Spears one was AWFUL!

Glee's writing staff is tripling in size just in time for Season 3, Deadline reports.
The six writers joining the team are Allison Adler, Marti Noxon, Michael Hitchcock, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Matt Hodgson and Ross Maxwell. They, along with Glee executive producers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, will begin crafting the show's third season on Monday.
Glee had originally intended to gradually bring new writers into the mix throughout Season 2. However, Murphy, Falchuk and Brennan ended up writing all 22 episodes.
The new additions behind the scenes arrive just as Glee is looking to add new faces on-screen as well. The show recently posted casting calls for two new female roles, including one described as a cross between Susan Boyle and Adele.
Adler (Chuck, No Ordinary Family) will be a co-executive producer. Comic book writer Aguirre-Sacasa (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, Big Love) will serve as a co-producer. Noxon, whose credits include Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Grey's Anatomy, will serve as a consulting producer. Hitchcock, who has acted on two episodes of Glee as well as several Christopher Guest films, is a former a MADtv writer and will also be a consulting producer.
Another Glee alum, script coordinator Hodgson, has been promoted to staff writer. Actor Ross Maxwell will also be a staff writer.
Glee will begin principal photography on Season 3 in August.

Ryan Murphy is making some cast changes on Fox’s Glee: Chord Overstreet will not be a series regular next season, sources confirm to EW. But Darren Criss and Harry Shum Jr. are getting promoted to full-time cast members. There’s a chance Overstreet could still occasionally appear on the show during next fall’s third season. Overstreet hinted at the news on Twitter earlier today: “well its been a good yr too bad its over, time for summer and starting fresh.”

Oh no! I like his character why is there so much changes happening?

Idina Menzel has reportedly agreed to return to Glee this year.

The Broadway star is said to be in "final negotiations" to reprise her role as Shelby Corcoran in the Fox comedy's upcoming third season, according to TV Line.

Menzel's deal will allegedly land her a "major arc" in Glee, which could span as many as ten to 12 episodes.

Menzel appeared in five episodes of Glee's first season, when her character coached New Direction's rivals Vocal Adrenaline.

Corcoran was later revealed to be the birth mother of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and adopted Quinn Fabray's (Dianna Agron) newborn baby Beth during her last appearance in the season finale.

It was confirmed this week that Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer will leave Glee at the end of the third season, which is due to premiere in the US on Tuesday, September 20 on Fox.

The glee club is fast turning into the drama club. Earlier this month, Glee creator Ryan Murphy revealed that Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, and Cory Monteith would be leaving Glee after season 3 — only to have fellow exec producer Brad Falchuk state at Comic-Con that those actors were not leaving the show after all. The latest development: Murphy revealed late Thursday that he and his fellow Glee producers were exploring a spin-off featuring the three actors, but have put that project on hold, possibly permanently.
Murphy also notes in an interview with Deadline that Colfer, Michele and Monteith — whose characters are set to graduate in May — were not fired from the hit Fox dramedy; moreover, they were brought into preliminary discussions about the spin-off, but were asked not to talk about it while the viability of the project was explored. (An insider told EW that while Murphy’s idea had been discussed at the highest levels at 20th Century Fox TV, which produces Glee for Fox, no script deal had been made.)
The spin-off would have taken place in New York, and Murphy reached out to The Juilliard School about using the institution as a backdrop. While the actors expressed initial interest in a spin-off, some supposedly had reservations about relocating to New York, among other issues, prompting Murphy to put the brakes on the project.

Glee will add two new "mean girls" to its cast for the upcoming third season, it has been revealed.

The Fox musical series will welcome the controversial characters - named Sugar and Sheila - to McKinley High's already established cast this fall, reports TV Line.

Sheila has been described as "affluent, self-confident and a godawful singer", while Sugar will represent a "modern-day Joan Jett" and will have a bad-girl edge to her with a lot of tattoos and her own clique of friends.

Glee execs are also said to be looking to cast the role of Bubba, a linebacker who begins dating Mercedes (Amber Riley) during the summer break.

Arts-hating geometry teacher Nancy Bletheim will also join the cast, with actresses aged over 60 currently being considered for the part.

Glee is adding another new cast member to its roster for Season 3.
American Dreams vet Vanessa Lengies will recur on the Fox musical as Sugar, a spoiled new student described as a cross between a New Jersey housewife and former Glee guest star Molly Shannon, TVLine reports.
Although Sugar can't carry a tune, at least we know Lengies can move thanks to her three seasons on American Dreams dancing on American Bandstand alongside star Brittany Snow.
Lengies, 26, also plays Nurse Kelly Epson on TNT's HawthoRNe and guest-starred on Castle earlier this year. Her casting follows that of Friday Night Lights alum LaMarcus Tinker, who will play Mercedes' new boyfriend this coming season.

Glee star Lea Michele has teased some new details about the show's upcoming third season.

The musical series returns on Fox next month, and Michele revealed that she will share a lot of screen time with fellow Glee stars Chris Colfer and Darren Criss.

"I know that she's going to be in the school musical," she told The Hollywood Reporter, regarding her character Rachel Berry. "I have some awesome storylines with Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, and I'll be singing a lot of Broadway as always."

Michele added that the new season will continue to focus on the core group of students, in particular those characters that are in their senior year.

The actress also claimed that the show will continue to reinvent forgotten pop songs for a modern audience.

"In season one we did a lot of classic rock songs, or not even so much classic rock but songs you haven't seen in the Top 10 in a while," Michele explained. "I definitely think they're going to do more of that this year, taking songs that used to be incredibly popular and reinventing them."

Michele has previously admitted that she is not focusing on her character's potentially reduced role next season, but has said that she is excited about the possibility of a spinoff series focusing on Rachel and Kurt.

Glee will make its season three premiere on September 20.

Chord Overstreet is to return to Glee, it has been reported.

The 22-year-old will reprise his role as Sam on the Fox series on a recurring basis starting with the third season's eighth episode, TV Line reports.

"We missed Chord and Chord missed us," a source told the website. "It's a win-win."

Overstreet was previously offered a recurring role on the series, but turned it down in order to pursue a career in music.

"They offered me the chance to come back for a few episodes, but there was nothing guaranteed so I decided to dive into the music thing," Overstreet said at the time.

To all fellow Glee fans two pieces I wanted to share with you:

1)As we all know Glee is currently on a 3 week break. The last episode that was aired was "Asian F." When Glee comes back there will be 3 new episodes:

Season 3,Episode 4:

Pot O' Gold

Season 3,Episode 5:

The First Time

Season 3,Episode 6:

Mash Off

After these three episodes air, there will be another break- due to The U.S X Factor. I'm so angry about this! After this break

Season 3, Episode 7

Lady Music Week/I Kissed A Girl

will air. Although it's only a weeks break I can't help but feel angry. First baseball now X-Factor? I mean, in the X-Factors case could they not have just put Glee on an hour earlier? Thoughts anyone?

2)On another related notice I was reading Lea Michele's twitter and she tweeted:

msleamicheleLea Michele



Wish I could tell you guys whats going on over here! Big shocker coming up! I almost dropped the script when I read it!! #Glee #rachelberry

We'll keep it spoiler free, but what do you think this "shocker" is?! I personally have a theory- and

the clue is in the title of episode 5

( if you know what I mean!) although this shocker is not set to be released until episode 7.

Glee will not be given a spinoff and Lea Michele will continue with the show next season, Fox has confirmed.

Reports that Michele's character Rachel Berry could be teamed up with Chris Colfer's Kurt Hummel emerged after rumours that the pair would 'graduate' from the show with Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) at the end of season three.

Speaking at the TCA press tour today (January 8), Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly revealed that Michele would still be a big part of Glee's future.

"We are graduating the characters that are [due] to graduate, and what's come out of it is [series creator] Ryan Murphy and the guys have come up with a really cool idea," he commented.

"There will not be a Glee spinoff, but those characters will graduate and it's led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season."

It has not yet been confirmed if Colfer and Monteith will feature in Glee's fourth season.

Murphy previously claimed that plans for a Glee spinoff were dropped following the controversy over cast changes.

Glee star Chris Colfer has revealed that he will sing 'Ben' in the show's upcoming Michael Jackson tribute episode.

The actor explained that his character Kurt will perform the track for his boyfriend Blaine (Darren Criss).

"I have no idea [why it was chosen], but I know it was voted the worst song in history by some group," Colfer told TV Line.

"[The song] was about a rat, but we're singing it about Kurt's boyfriend. I'm not sure what the connection is!"

Colfer also revealed that Kurt's former bully Karofsky (Max Adler) will return before the end of the season, saying: "I love that character. I love that he's kind of like a good guy now."

Meanwhile, Grant Gustin - who joined the show as Sebastian last year and could become a series regular next season - revealed that his character will no longer have a crush on Blaine.

"It's actually going less in a flirtatious direction [between Blaine and Sebastian] and more of [Sebastian] just being a d**k," he joked. "I'm not necessarily trying to split up [Kurt and Blaine]."

Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith have all confirmed that they will be returning for Glee's fourth season, despite the fact that their characters are graduating.

Ryan Murphy has said that Glee will have an episode dedicated to Saturday Night Fever.

The creator revealed that he has wanted to do an episode featuring disco music for a while, adding that he has always loved The Bee Gees.

"We've never done disco on the show, but I'm interested in the genius of The Bee Gees," Murphy told TV Guide.

He went on to say that he would invite Saturday Night Fever star John Travolta to appear in the episode in question.

"I would ask him," Murphy said. "Travolta and Cory Monteith [Finn] became close friends at a party when Cory told him he'd seen Broken Arrow 20 times. Travolta sent him an autographed copy of the DVD. So maybe we'll have them dance in a Finn dream sequence."
