Murphy’s remarks provoked reactions from the fans and from the stars of the popular series. Michele tried to assure the fans of Glee by commenting, It’s all part of the plan,” while Colfer revealed that he heard about the casting news via Twitter.

However, Falchuk put an end on the speculations of change in starcast as he said that they’re graduating from William McKinley High School, but not from the show. “If you have Lea Michele under contract, you don’t say, ‘We’re gonna let you go,’ ” he said.

Yet, Chord Overstreet is set to leave Glee as he was offered a deal to return for 10 episodes with a possibility of promoting him as a regular cast. However, Overstreet turned down the proposal as he was interested in pursuing other opportunities.
