Chris Colfer has had an initial conversation about returning as Kurt Hummel in the Glee revival and expects another, TheWrap reports. Colfer shared the update in an interview with Kevin Fallon on The Daily Beast’s Obsessed: The Podcast. He hasn’t committed to the project. Source
In an Oct. 6 Bustle interview quoted by TheWrap, Colfer said, “I know nothing and have heard absolutely nothing” about a possible return. Source
Colfer also spoke about how difficult returning could be after the deaths of castmates Cory Monteith and Naya Rivera. “It was really hard going back to the show after Cory passed, and I’m sure it’d be really difficult, especially now that Naya’s gone too,” he said, as quoted by TheWrap. “But I guess you have to think, are you going to let the loss of two people you love very much prevent you from being around a dozen other people you love as well? There’s a lot to think about with it.” Source
TheWrap reports that the revival was announced in October, with the new season set to stream on Disney+ and Hulu. Source
“I would love to see him like a Miranda Priestly-type, running his own fashion blog or a magazine,” Colfer said, according to TheWrap. A modest career goal: become the person nobody wants to disappoint. Source
“I could also see him on tour with Chappell Roan, styling her,” he said. “There’s a lot of fun avenues they could explore.” These are Colfer’s ideas, not announced storylines or confirmation of Roan’s involvement. Source
TheWrap notes that the original series ended with Kurt married to Blaine Anderson and preparing to welcome a child, with Rachel Berry as their surrogate. Colfer has a guess about which dad would be stricter: “I think Blaine would be a gentle parent, and Kurt would not,” he said. “I think Kurt would punish his children with scathing looks.” Source
