Specifically, Chris Colfer—who, like Michele, starred in all six seasons of the original Fox series—has said he’s had at least one “nice conversation” about bringing his character Kurt back for the revival. This is per Deadline, reporting on a conversation Colfer had on the Obsessed podcast, where he was actually pretty coy about the whole thing. “I haven’t had a chance to talk to anybody about it,” he initially asserted, saying he’s been busy promoting his new movie The Restoration At Grayson Manor. “But I recently had a nice conversation with someone, and I’m gonna have more conversations soon.”
And while nice conversations are, of course, nice, Colfer was apparently careful not to say who said pleasant chat was with—only stating that, “from what I’ve heard, [the revival] sounded very funny, and it sounded like a good idea.” All of which mostly serves as a reminder of what a weird idea a Glee revival is in the first place, and to flag that it’s hard to know what fans of the series would even want to see from it. Do people want to check in on what Kurt is up to these days? (In the show’s universe, he’s apparently a Broadway star by 2020, along with Darren Criss’ Blaine; Colfer’s own career has been a tad less star-studded.) Or do they want to be back at William McKinley High, focused on a new crop of kids? Colfer himself joked that he’s more interested in seeing what the show’s old adult characters are up to, saying that the thing that might actually bring him back would be a performance of “WAP” by former castmates Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch—neither of whom, we note mostly in passing, are currently attached to the revival.
