Don't stop believin', because Glee will be returning to the halls of McKinley High.

The smash-hit Fox comedy, which follows the adventures of a high school glee club in Lima, Ohio, was co-created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan. The show featured an ensemble cast of colorful characters dealing with ripped-from-the-headlines teen issues while performing multiple musical numbers an episode. During Glee's six seasons, which ran between 2009 and 2015, 207 songs from the show appeared on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking Elvis Presley's record for the most songs on the chart.

The official Glee X account has announced that Glee is returning via a post with the caption "currently gleeking out." The official announcement image, which can be seen below, features the iconic logo with a hand forming an L, bearing the slogan "it's official... Glee is returning."

TVLine reports that the show has officially gotten a series order at Hulu and Disney+, though there is no premiere date or casting information available at the time of writing.

This news comes in the wake of multiple comments from co-creator Ryan Murphy about being interested in mounting a revival. Most recently, in late September, he told Entertainment Tonight that he had "just finished" a script for the reboot. He added that "Brad, Ian, and I, who wrote all the first two seasons, have written something. I’ve been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members. It’s very sweet, and they all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea.”
