Chris Colfer Returning to the Glee Reboot? Kurt Actor Reacts to Revival News
Colfer has no decision yet
In an interview with Out, Chris Colfer said people had recently begun reaching out about the revival. He said he had not yet had a chance to speak with anyone.
Colfer said a return would depend on the specifics, the material and the timing. He added that he still knows nothing about the project and has no answer, while calling the interest a compliment that also made him feel old.
A reunion brought Glee back
Colfer played Kurt Hummel on Glee, which ran from 2009 to 2015. His portrayal of a gay teenager helped advance LGBTQ+ representation on mainstream television, and the role earned him a Golden Globe. The reboot news followed a surprise reunion with Darren Criss, Colfer’s on-screen love interest. Colfer appeared during Criss’s show at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where they performed their season two duet, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
The duet’s unexpected response
Colfer told Out he did not expect the duet’s reaction or for it to go viral. He said they had planned the performance for months and described the timing as a complete coincidence.
Colfer called the performance a healing moment. He also joked that he might send the video to people who had doubted he would receive that kind of response.
