Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States, and on Global in Canada. Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, the show focuses on the high school glee club New Directions competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality, and social issues.

For the second season, formerly recurring cast members Mike O'Malley, Heather Morris, and Naya Rivera were promoted to the main cast.
