It's time for a Kiki. Lock the doors, tight!

On October 21, 2026, Disney+ and Hulu gave Ryan Murphy’s Glee reboot a series order, more than eleven years after New Directions took their final bow on Fox. Gen Z Gleeks are thrilled, millennials are feeling it in their lower back, and many, are understandably nervous. Where would Glee fit into 2026?

The reboot: what we actually know (spoiler: not much)

It’s real. Disney+ and Hulu greenlit it on October 21. 20th Television, which made the original, is producing. The official account announced it with the famous “L” hand gesture, because of course it did.

The original band is back. Murphy is writing with co-creators Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, the three who gave us seasons one and two. In September he told Entertainment Tonight he’d finished the script “an hour ago.” Very Rachel Berry of him.

Why now?…
