Glee Season 5 Premieres September 26; Tackles Cory Monteith's Death in Third Episode (Teaser)

Phenomenal musical TV series Glee will return on its fifth season starting September 26. The first teaser for the upcoming season was released Friday, just over a month after the passing of Cory Monteith who plays Finn Hudson.

According to reports, Glee will deal with Finn Hudson's death in the new season's third episode (scheduled October 10 before the show's hiatus for the baseball postseason) and will also pay tribute to the actor who played Finn, Cory Monteith, who died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol last month.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy said in a recent interview that it was very difficult to work straight for the 5th season after Cory's tragic death, especially that they will have to tape for the first two episodes—tribute to legendary band The Beatles—which should be fun and optimistic as planned.

So how will the show tackle Finn Hudson's death?

He told Deadline: "There were a lot of things that we had to decide—how are we going to deal with his death? At one point, we were going to have his character die after an accidental drug overdose—that was something we had considered."

"But we have decided that we’re not going to have him pass from that. Basically, what we’re doing in the episode is we are not telling you yet, or maybe not at all, how that character died. The idea being, how somebody died is interesting and maybe morbid, but we say very early on in the episode, 'This episode is about a celebration of that character’s life.'" 

"We loved Cory and we loved Finn and it feels like a huge loss and a huge heartache not to have either of them around. We’re trying to craft an episode that’s not just about us grieving but about a lot of the young fans grieving," Murphy added.

"Once again with feeling, drama, passion... Are you ready to go once again," said the first teaser of Glee season 5 (watch below).

Charice is currently in Hollywood to honor some commitments. While in Los Angeles, she told her US management team that she would like to audition for Hollywood movies and TV shows.

"Yun 'yung unang-unang sinabi ko sa kanila na gusto kong gawin. Kasi parang nahihilig din ako sa acting. But this time I want to play weird na roles. Seryoso, lagi nila akong pinagtatawanan na gusto kong maging serial killer, ganyan," she explained.

Charice will return to the Philippines after finishing her engagements in the US to start promoting her "Chapter 10" album. The said album talks about the new chapter in her life. 

One of the songs in the album, Unexpected Love, which Charice co-wrote with The Voice US semi-finalist Cheesa Laureta, is dedicated to her girlfriend Alyssa Quijano.
