Los Angeles, CA, United States (Celebrity News Service) – Among the songs we’re sure to hear during the third season of “Glee” is “Pomp & Circumstance.” The “Glee” kids are going to graduate from McKinley High and the show in 2012.
The show’s creator Ryan Murphy confirmed in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that Rachel, Finn, Quinn and the other characters in their junior year last season will enter the new season as seniors, and as such, will stay true to the high school experience and graduate at the end of the year.
There will then be new characters introduced, with Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch staying on the show as, what he says, are “the male and female lynchpins of the series.”
“I don’t think of it in terms of eliminating or replacing. Because I think the thing about this cast is people love them and they are incredibly talented. They’ve left sort of an indelible mark,” he said.
“The thing that I wanted to do and the cast wanted to do, we didn’t want to have a show where they were in high school for eight years,” Murphy continued. “We really wanted it to be true to that experience. We thought it would be really cool if we were true to the timeline.”
And “Glee” is already getting to get things moving Menudo-style. Casting calls are arleady out for some of the new roles and the winner of “The Glee Project,” the new competition show on Oxygen, will feature on seven episodes in the fall.
Some of the stars have already lined up post-”Glee” projects. Naya Rivera scored a record deal, while Cory Monteith is starring opposite Selena Gomez in this summer’s “Monte Carlo” and Lea Michele scored roles in the ensemble romance “New Year’s Eve” and the animated “Dorothy of Oz.”
