Chris Colfer Says He’s in Talks for ‘Glee’-boot, Shares What He Thinks Kurt Is Doing Now (Hint: It Involves Chappell Roan)
The performer thinks his character would definitely be dancing at the "Pink Pony Club."
Chris Colfer, the Emmy-nominated actor known for his breakout role as Kurt Hummel on the popular musical series Glee, has revealed he is in talks for the much-anticipated reboot of the show. The 39-year-old actor, who has expressed his curiosity about his character's future in the reboot, believes Kurt Hummel could be working in a high-ranking role at a fashion brand or even on tour with pop star Chappell Roan.
Glee, which originally aired on Fox from 2009 to 2015, saw Kurt and his love interest Blaine Anderson become Broadway stars with a baby on the way. Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michele, served as their surrogate. The show has continued to resonate with audiences, as it remains popular among viewers who stream it, and the cast holds the fourth most entries on the Billboard Hot 100, just behind Drake, Taylor Swift, and Future.
In a recent interview with The Daily Beast's Obsessed, Colfer discussed the possibility of his character's future in the Glee reboot. He expressed his interest in the project and revealed he had recently had "a nice conversation with someone" about the intentions of the reboot. Colfer added that he plans to have more conversations with those involved in the series to learn more.
The Glee reboot is set to premiere on Disney+ and Hulu soon, as the show has secured a series order from the platforms. Ryan Murphy, the creator of the show, had teased earlier that he had finished a script for the reboot, which has generated a lot of excitement among fans. Colfer joined around 10 other original cast members in discussions about the project, and they expressed enthusiasm about the idea.
