At a Paley Center event Wednesday night, Ryan Murphy confirmed that Season 6 will be the final one for “Glee.” He also revealed that Cory Monteith’s death has forced him to come up with a completely different ending for the show.
“The final year of the show, which will be next year, was designed around Rachel and Cory/Finn’s story,” he told reporters. “I always knew that. I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was. He was in it. I knew what the last line was, she said to him.
“So when a tragedy like that happens, you have to sort of pause and figureout what you want to do. So we’re figuring that out now.” Murphy said he does have a general idea of how he would now like the show to end.
“I’m going to tell the studio and the network (in a week) how, after Cory’s unfortunate passing, we can end the show that I think it very satisfactory and kind of in his honor, which I love.”
