Ryan Murphy is cooking up another TV project but it's nothing like his dark medical drama creation Nip/Tuck. This time, he'll be turning his focus into comedy as he directs the pilot called Glee. Fox has already ordered the 13-episode one-hour series, hoping to have the program on the air in time for spring.

Glee follows an optimistic high school teacher, played by Matthew Morrison (Music and Lyrics) as he attempts to transform the school's Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of them all. But it won't be an easy task thanks to a “series of scandals” that caused the downfall of the singing group, and the reservations of his wife, portrayed by Jessalyn Gilsig (Heroes, Nip/Tuck), who thinks he's taking on an impossible task.

Subsequently, the second season of Damages is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, January 7 at 10pm.

Earlier this season, the two doctors departed Miami for Los Angeles seeking a fresh start for McNamara/Troy in a new city. The drama came to a temporary close as Sean (Dylan Walsh) feared for his life when Colleen Rose escaped from the psych ward and threatened to kill him, Christian (Julian McMahon) reunited with an old flame, and Matt (John Hensley) tried to come to terms with sleeping with his own sister. Julia (Joely Richardson), on the other hand, was rushed to the hospital following the shooting.

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:00:00 GMT

It seems that Nip/Tuck has earned quite a following, which happens to include other writers and producers who look up to creator Ryan Murphy for his brilliant ideas. The creator of the dark medical series recently announced that he will be working on another project, which sees him working with FOX’s umbrella company to work on new shows for the FOX and FX networks. Recently, we reported that Murphy is currently working on Glee, an hour-long musical comedy which will air on FOX. Nip/Tuck, on the other hand, was also reported to come to a close in 2011. That’s a good three years to keep the man busy.

However, it doesn’t end there. In fact, Murphy will be working on another show, this time for the NBC network, based on the novel Hyper-chondriac: One Man’s Quest to Hurry Up and Calm Down, a 2007 memoir written by Brian Frazer.

'Nip/Tuck' Star Thrives in Playing Off the Wall Characters

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:30:00 GMT

John Hensley is a familiar face to television viewers as Matt, the somewhat dysfunctional and constantly conflicted son of Nip/Tuck's two plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). As his character on the popular medical drama, Hensley has found himself in storylines that are often both tragically disturbed, yet inevitably laced with a fair amount of humor.

In his soon-to-be-released movie, Teeth, the Nip/Tuck co-star once again takes on a quirky and hysterical storyline, not far from some of the circumstances he's found himself in as his Nip/Tuck character.
