Chris Colfer Says He Has Had a "Nice Conversation" About a Glee Reboot

Chris Colfer says he has had a "nice conversation with someone" about a Glee reboot, and more talks are coming soon.

He spoke about a possible return as Kurt Hummel on The Daily Beast's podcast "Obsessed: The Podcast," and Variety reported his comments on 12 November 2026. The reboot is in development at Disney+ and Hulu. In development means the show is still in its planning stage. No return has been announced.

Colfer played Kurt on all six seasons of Glee, which ran on Fox from 2009 to 2015. He won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a television series for the role, and he earned two supporting actor Emmy nominations. Lea Michele is set to return as Rachel Berry.

Colfer said what he has heard about the reboot sounds "very funny" and like a good idea. He also said he wants Kurt to be "in a place of power" if the character comes back.

He floated a few ideas. He would like to see Kurt as a Miranda Priestly-type, the demanding magazine boss from The Devil Wears Prada, running his own fashion blog or magazine. He could also picture Kurt on tour, styling the singer Chappell Roan.

Family life came up too. In the series finale, Kurt was married to Blaine Anderson, played by Darren Criss, and Rachel acted as surrogate for their child. Colfer joked that Blaine would be the gentle parent, while Kurt would punish their children with scathing looks.

Glee has also lost two of its stars. Cory Monteith, who played Finn Hudson, died after Season 4 from an accidental overdose of heroin and alcohol. Naya Rivera, who played Santana Lopez, died in 2020 at the age of 33 after drowning while saving her four-year-old son.

For now, the reboot has a development deal, two returning cast members, and one actor who says more talks are on the way. Colfer's next conversations will decide whether his Kurt becomes part of it.
