TV musical Glee has proved to be such a huge hit worldwide, network bosses have already commissioned a third season of the show - just weeks after the cast and crew wrapped filming on the first series.
The program, which follows an all-singing, all-dancing choir at a fictional Ohio high school, debuted last year and has become a global phenomenon. The series has won a slew of awards and has a big celebrity following, with fans including Jennifer Lopez and Madonna, who was the focus of a special tribute episode last month.
Producers at Fox commissioned a second season earlier this year and they are so keen to secure the comedy/drama for another year, they've extended its contract once more - even though the stars have yet to begin shooting the second season. Fox chairman Peter Rice says, "In just one year, Glee has transcended the television landscape and emerged as a global pop-culture phenomenon."
Fox president Kevin Reilly adds, "Glee has one of the most active, devoted fan bases I've ever seen, and we couldn't be more thrilled to give Gleeks a third season of their favorite show."
The first series of Glee, which stars Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith and Jane Lynch, wraps on June 8th. The show attracts an average of 13.3 million viewers in America each week.
