'Glee' : No Spin-Off for You!

The "Glee" spin-off that had been planned for Rachel (played by Lea Michele), Finn (played by Cory Monteith) and Kurt (played by the Emmy-winning Chris Colfer) is not happening, Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly said at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, according to a tweet from TV Guide.

"We are graduating the characters that are arcing to graduation," he revealed, adding, "There will not be a spin-off." Reilly did say that "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy has a "really cool idea" to potentially bring those characters back, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Cory Monteith told The Hollywood Reporter: "Yes, I'll be back ... I'm very excited." Monteith confirmed that for Season 4, "people are going to graduate," but they'll be "keeping the William McKinley paradigm intact."

Echoing Chris Colfer's sentiments, Monteith added: "Ryan [Murphy] has come up with a brilliant, ground-breaking idea for how to include us graduating high school seniors into next season." His on-screen girlfriend, Lea Michele told THR: "When we heard Ryan's plan, it really made us even more thrilled."(THR & EW)
