“So yeah, I love that show and I loved what it became and what it meant to so many people.”
Murphy also said the cast and crew of the show were always really close and called it “the best time in my life and the worst time in my life”.
He said: “There was a lot of infighting. There was a lot of people sleeping together and breaking up. It was good training for being a parent, I’ll tell you that much. But I also made a mistake: we all got too personal.
“We loved it so much that we would all go out to dinner and we’d hang out and we were always together, so there was no delineation between who was the boss and who was the employee.
“And we were all so close that finally when something would happen, it would be so personal to me that I would literally hit the roof.”
It’s not the first time the idea of a Glee reboot has been floated by those in charge.
Co-creator Brad Falchuk told the Hollywood Reporter in 2024: “Is there a way to tell that story in a more modern way?
“So much of what Glee was about was really this transition from an old way of looking at representation to a new way. I’d never say no, but I wonder what the point would be – except it’d be a money-maker.”
