THE GLEE PROJECT Will Return for a Second Season This Summer

Oxygen has just announced that THE GLEE PROJECT will return to the network for a second season this summer. Each week wannabe stars are tested on their singing, acting and dancing abilities in the hopes of winning the competition and landing a seven episode arc on GLEE.

GLEE creator Ryan Murphy will make the final call on who stays and who goes. The contestants and mentored each week by casting director Robert Ulrich, choreographer and GLEE co-Executive Producer Zach Woodlee and vocal coach Nikki Anders.

Last season the top four finalists were all awarded with GLEE appearances. Damian McGinty joined the show earlier this season as Rory Flannigan. Co-winner Samuel Larsen has yet to appear on the show, but is rumored to be on set starting this week.  Third place finisher Lindsay Pearce made quite an impact on fans and critics during her two appearances as Harmony (aka The Gerber Baby). I wouldn’t surprised to see her back next season. Fourth place finisher Alex Newelli s set to make his mark later this season.

With the recent news that most of the current GLEE seniors will return next season and the rumor that Grant Gustin (Sebastia) will be made a series regular, I personally don’t think that the show really needs new characters. They often struggle to properly service the current cast. But, I did really enjoy THE GLEE PROJECT last summer so the news isn’t all bad.

Now, what’s the chance of Cameron Mitchell throwing his hat in the ring again this season?
