In hindsight, Glee creator Ryan Murphy now believes that the Fox musical comedy “most likely” shouldn’t have continued past star Cory Monteith’s loss of life in 2013.
Murphy appeared on the most recent episode of And That’s What You REALLY Missed, a rewatch podcast hosted by Glee grads Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz, throughout which the trio had a candid dialog concerning the first of a number of tragedies that might ultimately befall the present’s forged.
Monteith died in July 2013 from a “combined drug toxicity” of heroin and alcohol. Three months later, Glee aired “The Quarterback,” an unforgettable hour of tv (learn our recap!) that paid tribute to Monteith’s character Finn, who died off display of causes unknown.
“If I needed to do it once more, we’d’ve stopped for a really very long time and doubtless not come again,” Murphy says, including that if the identical factor occurred at this time, “I’d be like, ‘that’s the top.’ As a result of you may’t actually get well from one thing like that. … It wasn’t, like, a traditional loss of life the place somebody is sick, and you’ll see them. It occurred so rapidly with no warning.”
The present would go on to air 30 extra episodes throughout its closing two seasons, ultimately paying one final tribute to Monteith by renaming the McKinley Excessive College auditorium after Finn within the sequence finale.
