‘Glee’ set to lose three major cast members

Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith will leave at end of Season Three

The hit TV show Glee is set to lose three of its biggest names in Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith.

The actors who play Rachel, Kurt and Finn will see their characters graduate at the end of the next series.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, justified the decision.

He said: “You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic. Or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.”

Murphy went on to explain that “more characters are leaving than are staying”.
