Updates From Ryan Murphy

Glee creator, Ryan Murphy, has spoken with several news outlets on what we have to look forward to when Glee returns to our televisions in April. The first thing we will get is more songs per episode! Ryan told TheWrap.com that "We've been averaging five or six songs per episode in the first 15. In the back nine we do an average of eight to 10. The back nine is about the regionals competition."

And have you ever wondered about the strange way Glee was premiered in May, then we had to wait four months for another episode, we got 9 more episodes, and now we have to wait another four months for another 9 episodes? It was Fox's idea! However, Murphy did consult on it, and thinks "it definitely paid off. I think it worked because the show is about thinking outside the box, and doing things that are unusual. They picked it up because they didn't want just another network show. They wanted to do something unusual and strange. And so that philosophy has gone into the marketing of it."

Wondering what the upcoming episodes have in store for us? According to an interview with Greg In Hollywood,  Sue Sylvester will continue in her evil ways: "Sue will never take a backseat on the show ever because Jane is so fantastic and we write so heavily toward her… people love her. If you thought she was bad in the first 13, she’s doubly wicked and funny in the [rest]." and the Madonna episode will include ten of her songs. (If you have any thoughts about which ones, leave them in the comments!) Kristen Chenoweth (and more) will also be guest starring: “I’m really excited about Kristen Chenoweth coming back, she’s such a doll and I love writing for her and I love pitching songs that she’s never sung. And we have a couple of really big top-secret guest stars who I can’t say. Childhood idols of mine. … They love the show and wanted to do it." Could that mean Madonna herself will show up in the Madonna episode? Let's hope so!
