The original Glee kids may be back in Lima, OH for the show’s sixth and final season (kicking off Jan. 9, at 8/7c on Fox), but Rachel, Kurt, Blaine and Sam aged out of the high-school show-choir demographic.
With the musical comedy going back to its roots for its final 13 episodes, however, the show’s writers are introducing a quintet of new kids to pick up the New Directions banner
While Fox has yet to officially confirm the names of the actors who’ve signed on for the , the news has leaked thanks to the magic of Facebook, Twitter and local news media interviews.
The New Kids
- Noah Guthrie will play Roderick – Chubby and shy with a voice like Otis Redding, his looks don’t match with his talent. Described as, “a true goober.”
- Marshall Williams will play Spencer – He’s the new resident “football stud” who just so happens to possess an incredible voice. He’s also gay.
- Samantha Ware will play Jane – Righteous, ambitious and unconventionally pretty, she’s funny because she doesn’t have much of a sense of humor. She wanted to be a Warbler but tradition kept her from joining so she jumps ship to the New Directions.
- Billy Lewis Jr. will play Mason – The male part of Male of twin Cheerios. They’re super-positive and extremely weird.
- Laura Dreyfuss will play Madison – The female Cheerio twin.
