Big Glee casting news to pass along today … late yesterday it was reported that actor Chord Overstreet has been ousted as a series regular on the hit Fox series. Altho he hasn’t been fired from the show, he is no longer a series regular character … which means he’ll prolly feature in a few eps for the entire season. In happier news, actors Darren Criss and Harry Shum, Jr. have been bumped up to series regular castmembers on Glee. So when one door closes (in the face of an unsuspecting person, apparently), another door opens (for more fortunate folks). Click below to read all the deets about this Glee casting shake-up.
It’s a case of good news/bad news for Glee fans courtesy of Ryan Murphy. First the good: Darren Criss (Blaine) and Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) have officially been upgraded to full-time series regulars, effective this fall with the start of Season 3. And now for the bad… Chord Overstreet’s series regular option has not been picked up. However, a source close to the show says the actor — who joined the Fox hit last fall in the recurring role of McKinley transfer student Sam Evans — could return as an occasional guest star … The news comes two weeks after series creator Ryan Murphy raised eyebrows when he told Ryan Seacrest that most of the show’s primary characters would graduate by the end of next season. “The show to me is about the way you express yourself as you start to move out into the world as a fresh, young person,” he later clarified to Deadline’s sibling site TVLine. “Do we really want to have an eight-year [high school] senior? The only way somebody could stay on the show is if they flunk, and that is always a possibility. I think Brittany is pulling straight Fs.”
Ugh … poor Chord. I mean, yes technically he’s still on the show … but we won’t see much of him … and he knows that. Yesterday he posted this message to fans on his official Twitter profile:
well its been a good yr too bad its over, time for summer and starting fresh / getting close to the end of the tour, cant wait to start working on my album when i get home!!! im gonna go full on! / i have the coolest fans hands down!!!! i love you all!!
I’m glad that Darren Criss and Harry Shum, Jr. will be more regularly featured on the show (tho, it kinda already feels like they have been heavily featured on the show already) but it’s a bummer that Chord is getting phased out. His poor character Sam … first he becomes homeless … then he finally gets a great girlfriend in Mercedes … now he’s gonna be squeezed out of the glee club :( Ah well. What do y’all think? Are you happy/bummed about this news?
