Glee's Ryan Murphy Mends Fences with OG Stars for Reboot

Ryan Murphy is reportedly making efforts to reconnect with the original cast of "Glee" as he explores the possibility of a reboot. Sources indicate that Murphy has been reaching out to former cast members, which some interpret as attempts to resolve years of strained relationships stemming from the show's initial production.

Despite these outreach attempts, some actors have not responded, citing unresolved issues. These concerns reportedly include grueling work schedules, with allegations of relentless demands from Murphy, including weekend rehearsals on top of long weekday shoots. Cast members allegedly felt their compensation was minimal given the demanding nature of their work and the significant profits generated by the franchise for Murphy and Fox.

Further complicating potential collaborations is the alleged favoritism shown towards Lea Michele during the show's original run. Some original cast members are reportedly apprehensive about her potentially being a central figure in any new "Glee" endeavor. While Murphy has expressed optimism about securing enthusiasm from about ten original cast members for a new script, sources suggest that underlying sentiment among some actors remains less than enthusiastic.
