Today was FOX's turn at the TCA rodeo in Beverly Hills and while details were given about new shows Sleepy Hollow and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, it was news about Glee that got the most attention. With the death of Cory Montieth several weeks ago, production was delayed for a week and a tribute episode is being prepared to air as the third episode of the upcoming fifth season. Additionally, cast members are taping public service announcements that will air after that special episode. While the third episode will mark Finn Hudson's exit from the show, no details were given on exactly how the character will be written out.
The show's fifth season is slated to premiere September 26, pushed back one week following Montieth's death. Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly expressed the network's plan for Glee, particularly its ending. Reilly believes the show will not go past a sixth season thus making 2015 the targeted ending of the popular musical comedy-drama. Several original cast members have already been dropped to recurring status for this newl season, and actress Jayma Mays will depart the show at the season's end in Spring.
