When Fox released the first preview of the final season of Glee, many fans were emotional. Show creator Ryan Murphy has promised viewers that this season would be a memorable one. While Murphy has confirmed the return of most of the original cast, there will also be new 'gleeks' to add to the roster. Will Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) get along with any of them?
According to TVLine, the hit TV show will be returning on January 9. There will be a brand new cast who would prove to bring a showcase of talent to good old McKinley High.
One of the new cast members is Noah Guthrie, who will be playing the role of Roderick. Hollywood Life describes the character as "chubby and shy with a voice like Otis Redding. His looks don't match with his talent." He is set to be the show's new underdog. Guthrie rose to fame as a YouTube star and recently went to star in 'Dancing with the stars.'
Another new cast member will be played by Marshall Williams. He is set to play Spencer, who is the new football player. Ryan Murphy expressed his intentions for casting the character. According to a source's interview with PopWrapped, Murphy wanted "to show the world the current changing attitude in High Schools, from gay being perceived as a bad thing, to something more positive, and accepted. Spencer's a mans man, and doesn't take shit from anybody."
Billy Lewis Jr. will be cast as Mason, who will play the "weird kid". He will have a twin sister, Madison who will be played by Laura Dreyfuss. Madison will be one of the new Cheerios.
Lastly, Samantha Ware will be playing another Cheerio named Jane. TVLine said that the character originally wanted to be a Warbler but couldn't since she was a girl.
It seems like McKinley High will be in for a showstorm of talents. This is indeed shaping up to be an iconic season, indeed!
