LOS ANGELES — It looks like “Glee” will take its final bow next year.
The Fox drama/musical will end its run after six seasons, Ryan Murphy, the series’ co-creator, said at a Paley Center for Media event honoring FX Networks on Wednesday night, according to TV Line.
Murphy, who also runs FX’s “American Horror Story,” said “Glee” star Cory Monteith’s drug-overdose death earlier this year forced him to rethink how to close out the show.
“The final year of the show, which will be next year, was designed around Rachel and Cory/Finn’s story,” Murphy said, as quoted by TV Line.
“I always knew that, I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was — he was in it,” Murphy said. “I knew what the last line was — she said it to him. So when a tragedy like that happens, you sort of have to pause and figure out what you want to do, so we’re figuring that out now.”
