    Glee docuseries at Discovery+ will explore the many controversies of the hit show. 

    The three-part documentary will feature interviews with key cast and crew members who will share their experiences of working on the musical teen dramedy. The highs, lows, and everything in between will be revealed as people close to those involved also share their never-before-heard stories. 

    Glee, which ran from 2009 to 2015, has had its legacy tainted by a number of scandals; from the disturbing case of Mark Salling, who was convicted of child pornography and killed himself while awaiting sentencing and the death of Cory Monteith from an accidental heroin overdose to the alleged on-set bullying from Lea Michele and post-show death of Naya Rivera, the docuseries has a lot to unpack. 

    Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, Glee also starred Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris, Darren Criss, and Melissa Benoist.

    A release date for the docuseries has not been announced yet.
