Sorry, Gleeks, it looks like we won’t be following Brittany S. Pierce as she begins university life at MIT on Glee next season.
TV Line is reporting that the FOX series is set to bid adieu to original cast members Heather Morris, Mark Salling, Amber Riley and Harry Shum, Jr. — the talents behind Brittany, Puck, Mercedes and Mike, respectively — this summer, as Season 5 approaches.
Dianna Agron, who’s played the lovable Quinn since the show’s beginning, is slated to return only as a “guest.” The four actors mentioned above may also return to the show in guest form, according to TV Line.
As Gleeks around the world deal with this news, here’s a Season 2 flashback, involving Brittany, a Britney Spears classic, John Stamos and a dose of anesthesia.
Glee Season 5 premieres on FOX Sept. 19.
