Chris Colfer Says He’s in Talks for ‘Glee’-boot, Shares What He Thinks Kurt Is Doing Now (Hint: It Involves Chappell Roan)

Chris Colfer says he has had an initial conversation about the planned Glee reboot and expects further discussions, but has not confirmed that he will return as Kurt Hummel. He said the idea sounded funny and promising, and offered a playful guess that Kurt might now be a senior fashion executive or style Chappell Roan on tour.

The original Fox series ran from 2009 to 2015, ending with Kurt and Blaine as Broadway stars and expecting a child. Disney+ and Hulu ordered the reboot in October after creator Ryan Murphy completed a script; Murphy has said he has been in touch with about 10 original cast members, who were enthusiastic. Glee’s cast has the fourth-most entries on the Billboard Hot 100, behind Drake, Taylor Swift and Future.
