Production

The season will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ryan Murphy Television, and will air on Fox in the U.S. The executive producers are series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, and Dante Di Loreto, with creator Ian Brennan acting as co-executive producer.[19] While season one was written exclusively by Murphy, Falchuk and Brennan, they plan on taking on five or six new writers from January 2010 to ensure the longevity of the show.[20] Adam Shankman guest-directed the fifth episode.

The season began airing on September 21, 2010, in the 8/7c timeslot on Tuesdays.[21] A special episode is scheduled to air after Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011.[22] The series producers are still in talks with Fox to extend the length of the season to 25 episodes, rather than the customary 22.[23] The season finale is planned to end with the national show choir competition taking place in New York City.[24]

The second episode of the season, "Britney/Brittany" was a Britney Spears tribute episode featuring five of Spears' songs.[25][26] The third episode had a religious theme, and the fifth served as a homage to The Rocky Horror Show.[27] Other special episodes under consideration for the season include a sequel to the Madonna tribute "The Power of Madonna",[28] an episode featuring original songs,[29] and a Valentine's Day-related episode.[30] Artists being considered to be covered on Glee include Courtney Love, Billy Joel, and Led Zeppelin.[31] In addition, Coldplay has allowed the show to cover any of their songs.[32] Music by Paul McCartney and The Beach Boys have been confirmed to be covered on the show.[33][34] The writers plan on reducing the number of musical performances to average five per episode, in order to increase focus on the characters.[25][35]

The extended play (EP) Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Glee Show was released mid-October 2010 to accompany the fifth episode.[36] Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, featuring winter holiday-themed songs, was released in mid-November 2010, and Glee: The Music, Volume 4, featuring recordings from the first half of the season, was released at the end of the same month.[37] An additional EP tied to the Super Bowl tribute episode is planned, as well as another soundtrack album for the first quarter of 2011.[38][39]

Cast

The twelve main cast members from season one returned for season two: Matthew Morrison as glee club director Will Schuester, Jane Lynch as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, Jayma Mays as guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury, Jessalyn Gilsig as Will's now ex-wife Terri Schuester and Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz as glee club members Quinn Fabray, Kurt Hummel, Artie Abrams, Rachel Berry, Finn Hudson, Mercedes Jones, Noah "Puck" Puckerman and Tina Cohen-Chang, respectively.[19] Heather Morris and Naya Rivera, who portray the formerly recurring roles of Brittany Pierce and Santana Lopez respectively, were promoted to series regulars.[40] Mike O'Malley, who plays Burt Hummel also became a series regular in season two.[41] Supporting cast member Harry Shum, Jr. has an increased role as glee club member Mike Chang.[42] Dijon Talton did not return as New Directions member Matt Rutherford, who was written out as having transferred.[43]

Charice appears as Sunshine Corazon, a foreign exchange student from the Philippines and a rival to Rachel.[44] John Stamos, who was derided by Emma in the season one episode "Acafellas" as having "more certainty than talent", appears as Carl Howell, her love interest.[45] Dot-Marie Jones appears as football coach Shannon Beiste, replacing Patrick Gallagher as Ken Tanaka.[46][47] Chord Overstreet plays Sam Evans, a transferring student athlete who befriends Finn, but ends up becoming his rival.[48][49] Cheyenne Jackson plays Dustin Goolsby, the coach of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline, replacing the role previously played by Idina Menzel in season one.[50] Darren Criss plays a charismatic gay student named Blaine from a rival glee club who befriends Kurt.[51]

Meat Loaf and Barry Bostwick, who both starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, appeared in Glee's Halloween Rocky Horror tribute episode,[52] playing right-wing television station managers and colleagues of Sue.[53] Gwyneth Paltrow guest starred as a substitute teacher who takes over for an ailing Will in "The Substitute", and will reappear as a sex education teacher in episodes 15 and 16, specifically to have a relationship with Will.[54][55] Adam Kolkin portrayed an eight-year old Kurt in the third episode of the season,[56][57] and in the seventh episode, kindergarten-aged actors portraying child versions of New Directions were featured.[58] Sue Sylvester's mother Doris Sylvester was also introduced this season, played by Carol Burnett.[59] Guest stars Jonathan Groff, Kristin Chenoweth and Menzel will return as Jesse St. James, April Rhodes and Shelby Corcoran respectively,[60][61][62] and Murphy is hopeful that Neil Patrick Harris will return as Will's high school rival Bryan Ryan.[60] Kurt will get his first boyfriend and they will become a school power-couple,[63] Javier Bardem will guest-star during the second half of the season as an ex-love interest of Sue.[64] The Super Bowl episode will introduce two new football-playing characters: Scott Cooper and Strando, who may have an increased role in the series. Additionally, producers are seeking fire breathers, jugglers, and bicycle motocross stunt performers for the episode.[13] Journalist Katie Couric will make a guest appearance as herself.[65] Actress Anne Hathaway has been confirmed to play Kurt's lesbian aunt, a role she created herself.[66]

In January 2010, it was announced that open auditions would be held for three new roles to be introduced in Glee's second season. They were open to amateurs and professionals aged 16 to 26, and were intended to be the subject of a multi-part television special, set to air in the lead-in to the second season premiere in fall 2010, with the new cast members revealed in the first episode.[67] Murphy commented: "Anybody and everybody now has a chance to be on a show about talented underdogs. We want to be the first interactive musical comedy on television."[68] On June 22, 2010, Josef Adalian of New York magazine revealed that the reality show would not go ahead, due to Murphy's desire to concentrate on the main series, and fear that the distraction of the reality show may damage Glee. Adalian reported that the production team would still choose several winners from the entrants and invite them to appear on Glee for at least one episode.[69] In November 2010, Oxygen announced that they, in association with Glee's casting director, would continue with the reality show, now entitled The Glee Project, which is set to air in June of 2011. The winner will receive a multi-episode guest-starring role in the third season of Glee.[70]

Reception

Music

Glee's second season saw a shift toward covering more Top 40 songs than the first, in an effort to appeal more to the 18–49 demographic. Having used 2010 songs such as Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You", music supervisor PJ Bloom commented, "We're using songs on the show the same time they're charting as new hits." He described the process behind selecting songs, clearing rights, recording, and filming numbers as taking as little as a few weeks to complete. Producer Adam Anders revealed that production and planning even occurs before rights for songs are cleared, as Glee's creators are offered listens of upcoming songs in advance by publishers and record labels.[71]

Second season musical releases attained some chart success. Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Glee Show peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 with 48,000 copies sold. It marked the lowest debut and sales for the cast in the United States,[72] but the highest position ever reached for a Rocky Horror album.[73] Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album and Glee: The Music, Volume 4 both peaked at number three, in Canada and Australia respectively.[74][75] The cast's cover of "O Holy Night" debuted at number one on the Holiday Digital Songs chart.[76] The highest charting single was the cast's cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.[77] The single sold 55,000 copies in its first day of release, and went on to beat the first-week sales record of 177,000 previously held by debut single "Don't Stop Believin'", with 214,000 in the US.[78][79] "Empire State of Mind" marked the highest first-day sales of any Glee song at the time with 106,000 downloads in the US over the week following its release.[80][81]

The record for most appearances by a group on the Billboard Hot 100, previously set by The Beatles, was broken when six songs from Glee: The Music, Volume 4 debuted on the chart the week of October 16, 2010. This feat also placed the cast third overall among all artists, behind James Brown and Elvis Presley.[82] Four songs debuted on November 18, 2010, which pushed the number of appearances to ninety-three, surpassing Brown's accomplishment to land at second.[83]

Accolades

During its second season, Glee was nominated in five categories at the 2010 Satellite Awards, with acting nominations for Michele, Morrison, Lynch and Colfer.[84] Morrison and Lynch also received acting nominations at the 37th People's Choice Awards, as did guest star Spears, with the show nominated "Favorite TV Comedy".[85] Glee garnered nine nominations at the AfterEllen.com and AfterElton.com Visibility Awards, with acting nominations for Lynch, Colfer and Rivera, and "Favorite Couple" nominations for Santana and Brittany and Kurt and Blaine. Additionally, the Glee performance of "Teenage Dream" was nominated in both the "Favorite Music Video" and "Best Gay Moment of the Year" categories.[86][87]

Glee: Season 2, Volume 1 is planned for DVD release in region 1 on January 25, 2011, and will include the first ten episodes of the season.[88]
