Chris Colfer In “Conversation” About ‘Glee’ Reboot, Jokes He’ll Return If Mr. Schue & Sue Perform “WAP”

Chris Colfer says he has had an initial “nice conversation” about returning as Kurt Hummel for the ordered Glee reboot, with further discussions expected soon. He has little information so far, but says the idea sounds funny and promising; his possible involvement matters given Kurt’s central place in the original series and the losses that could make a return emotionally difficult.

Colfer said revisiting the show may bring back painful memories of Cory Monteith, who died in 2013, and Naya Rivera, who died in 2020, but he is weighing that against reuniting with other castmates he loves. He imagines Kurt might run a fashion magazine or style Chappell Roan, and jokes he would return if Matthew Morrison’s Mr Schue and Jane Lynch’s Sue performed “WAP”. The original series ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015; Ryan Murphy has written a reboot script, and Lea Michele, Heather Morris and Chord Overstreet are in talks to return.
