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.
