It’s formally over for Lea Michele, Corey Monteith and Chris Colfer. After the upcoming 3rd season of Glee, the singing/dancing trio will no longer be seen on the Fox hit show, creator Shawn Murphy has confirmed.
Murphy told the Hollywood Reporter that their run is over simply because the actors’ characters Finn Hudson, Rachel Berry and Kurt Hummel will be graduating from McKinley High School. While now-dated series like Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill have Tried to craft persuasive post-high school story lines, Murphy would instead keep his show in real moment.
He said about the mutual decision for the actors’ departures: “I think they felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top. It will be very sad for me to see them leave. But it’s good because we’re writing to something so powerful, which is those two beloved characters going off and hopefully getting their dream.”
Monteith is about to turn 30 and Michele is 25, so there’s a short rack lifestyle for how long they can pull off looking like teenagers.
