The hit TV show Glee is coming back.
An all-new season of the hit series from Ryan Murphy is coming to Disney+ and Hulu, Disney announced Wednesday.
No details about the cast or an official release date have been shared.
The studio behind the reboot is 20th Television, which also produced the original series.
Glee first aired on Fox for six seasons, from 2009 to 2015.
It followed a high school glee club and starred Lea Michele, the late Cory Monteith, the late Naya Rivera, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch and more.
Murphy told ABC News last month that a script for a Glee reboot had been written, and that he is in touch with cast members about returning.
“I’ve been quietly having conversations with people on that show … about, ‘What do you think? Should we?,'” Murphy said. “Maybe I shouldn’t, I don’t know. It’s fun just to try.”
Glee won six Primetime Emmys and several Golden Globes. It also won the GLAAD Media Award for outstanding comedy series in 2010 and 2011.
All 121 original episodes of Glee are currently streaming on Hulu.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News, Disney+ and Hulu.

Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against Nick Reiner, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said on Tuesday.
If Nick Reiner is convicted of the murders of his parents, renowned director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, the maximum sentence he would face is life without the possibility of parole, Hochman said.
Hochman said while deciding whether or not to seek the death penalty, the DA’s office examined the aggravating and mitigating factors and spoke to the victims’ family, prosecutors and law enforcement.
Nick Reiner’s siblings, Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner, made their views about the death penalty “very clear,” Hochman said, adding that the DA’s office took “their views into consideration in ultimately deciding not to seek the death penalty.”
Nick Reiner, who turned 33 on Monday, is accused of fatally stabbing his parents in the family’s home in December. The night before the killings, Nick Reiner — who was living on his parents’ property and had previously struggled with addiction — got into an argument with his father at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News at the time.
Nick Reiner is due in court on Tuesday for a hearing concerning the unsealing of the grand jury transcripts, Hochman said.
Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner expressed a “strong desire for these transcripts to remain sealed,” Hochman said.
The siblings “basically have said the disclosure to the public and media of the details and evidence of the killing of their parents will cause them additional trauma and harm,” the DA explained.
Hochman said prosecutors “have made it clear to the court that under the standards of whether or not unsealing the transcripts would prejudice the government’s investigation, or prejudice the right to a defendant’s fair and impartial trial, that we do not believe that unsealing the transcripts will cause such prejudice.”
“However, we have deferred to the court the decision on this ruling of whether or not the transcript should be unsealed,” he continued.
The indictment unsealed in August charged Nick Reiner with two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait, according to prosecutors. He also faces a special allegation that he used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife. He pleaded not guilty.
Nick Reiner is held on no bond.
No trial date has been set. Hochman said on Tuesday that he believes a trial will not occur before 2027, adding, “when the defense is ready to proceed, the government will be ready to proceed.”
If Hochman had decided to pursue the death penalty, it would have been mostly a symbolic move. While California does have inmates on death row, there has not been an execution in the state in 20 years and Gov. Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on executions in 2019.

Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker are ruining the friendship in the new Hulu comedy series Alice and Steve. The two star as the titular best friends whose relationship is tested when Steve starts dating Alice’s adult daughter, Izzy.
It’s being described as a “wrong com” instead of a rom-com, but Walker tells ABC Audio that while her character, Alice, might call it that, she believes it’s more nuanced.
“I think it’s hugely problematic and going to, you know, [be] a grenade that blows up everybody’s lives. But I don’t think it’s wrong,” she says of the relationship between Steve and the 26-year-old Izzy.
“No one is right and nobody is wrong completely, but everyone behaves appallingly at times,” she adds. “And yet you understand them and sympathize with them, I think.”
Clement says there’s “a lot of gray area” in terms of the characters’ behavior, and while he doesn’t necessarily relate to Steve, he at least feels for him.
“He is extremely lonely when we begin, and he’s just lost a good friend, a mutual friend of his and Alice’s,” Clement says. “And so he’s thinking about his entire life at that moment.”
All six episodes of Alice and Steve are now streaming on Hulu.
