Grant Gustin, who played Warbler Sebastian Smythe on the Fox musical dramedy Glee, says he would love to participate in a potential reboot.
Former Glee star Grant Gustin said that he would love to return to the series in a potential reboot. The actor, who went on to star in The CW's The Flash, originally appeared in seven episodes of the musical dramedy series. He played the largely villainous Sebastian Smythe, the lead singer of the polished rival glee club known as The Warblers.
E! News recently sat down with Gustin to discuss the final season of The Flash. During the conversation they asked if he would be interested in appearing in a potential reboot of Glee. He enthusiastically said "that was some of the most fun I've ever had. So, I would obviously... love it."
While a reboot of any popular series is never entirely out of the question, the Glee ensemble cast has had a particularly rocky road. This includes the deaths of several major cast members, including star Cory Monteith (Finn) while the show was still on the air. Mark Salling (Puck) and Naya Rivera (Santana) have also died at very young ages under troubling circumstances
Another likely reason behind the surviving cast's hesitance to return is the reported on-set behavior of Lea Michele (Rachel). Several cast members have spoken out against the star, saying she exhibited racist and bullying behavior while filming the series. As much as Gustin had a good time on the series, many of the people who were around longer had more sour experiences, as revealed by several cast members including Amber Riley (Mercedes).
Another factor that would prevent a potential Glee reboot from getting off the ground is scheduling. Jane Lynch (Coach Sue) especially became a huge star off the back of the series and is currently busy on the reboot season of Party Down (though at least this shows she is not opposed to returning to old roles) among other projects. Darren Criss (Blaine) has also become more of a hot commodity after his starring role in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace; Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) could be swept away by the Crazy Rich Asians spinoff at any moment; and Chris Colfer (Kurt) is now a successful children's book author, so it would be quite a challenge to get the remaining cast in the same room.
