Scoop: Fox renews 'Glee' for second season

Feel free to break into song after you read this next sentence: Fox has given Glee an early season 2 pickup.

Well, what are you waiting for — start singing, dammit!

Okay, stop singing, ’cause there’s more.

Fox is launching a nationwide casting search this February to fill three new season 2 roles. Per the network’s press release, “Auditions will be open to amateur individuals as well as professionals between the ages of 16-26, and all hopefuls will be able to submit auditions online. Additional details will be announced soon [via] fox.com/glee.”

The audition process will be turned into a multi-part reality special to air at the end of the summer. “We’re going to pull back the curtain on the process,” says Fox president Kevin Reilly. “And the winners will be revealed in the first episode of the season.”

Okay, you can resume singing now.
