All Season 2 Spoilers (Updated Yet Again)
Now that we’ve had a few press events and gotten different spoilers over time, I’m gonna put them all in once place.
New Characters:
-Kurt gets a boyfriend. An everyday guy. He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. (Does this mean we get a prom?!)
-Sam will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
-Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
-Sunshine will be played by Charice Pempengco and will be a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character will start out very small, but as the season progresses she will get bigger.
-A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
-Wouldn’t call these new characters, but ones we haven’t seen yet. We’re going to get to see Rachel’s gay dads, Artie’s mother, and some of Mercedes’ home life, so maybe her parents, as well. Ryan teases that Brittany has a smart older sister.
-Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste, the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee. (I am very, very, VERY upset about this. I love me some Tanaka.)
-Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
-Carol Burnett will be playing Sue’s mother. 1 episode.
——————————————————————————————
Tribute Episodes:
-A Britney Spears episode, titled “Britney/Brittany” will be the 2nd episode of the new season. Brittany will sing 2 songs. The episode will feature six Britney Spears songs and be done in a “fun, hallucinogenic way.” Mr. Schue will complain the whole episode about not wanting to do Britney Spears songs (based on Matthew Morrison’s “dislike” for the idea of a Britney episode.) Newest information from Ryan Seacrest tells us that Britney Spears WILL in fact be making an appearance.
-A second Madonna episode will happen.
-The post Superbowl episode will be a tribute episode.
-There will be a Rocky Horror Picture Show episode, and it will be the 5th episode of Season 2, we also know that Sue will not be happy with the glee kids doing this.
-There will be a special Christmas episode. (Can we please get Quinn to sing Santa Baby and Finn/Rachel to sing Baby It’s Cold Outside? Thanks.) They’re working on getting Susan Boyle for this episode.
-There will only be 2 artist tribute episodes this season, one Britney Spears and one after the Superbowl.
-Matthew Morrison will shave his head for the Britney episode, to recreate Britney shaving her head. New reports are saying that because everyone found out about it, Matt will no longer be shaving his head.
-Plot for the Britney episode: The kids get drugged at the dentist’s office (John Stamos will be playing the dentist, Carl) and start having fantasies about Britney and how they can be like her. Britney will be appearing in the fantasies and also will playing a receptionist at the the dentist’s office.
-There will be a Britney number with the football team (think Single Ladies)
——————————————————————————
Relationship News:
-Finn and Rachel will stay together for Season 2.
-Puck and Quinn will not be together, but they will have “sweet” moments.
-There will be another Artie/Tina centered episode.
-Tina will “fall out of love” with Artie and start to fall for Mike Chang. Jenna’s always said that Artie and Tina will always be together, so no word on how long this is gonna last.
-More scoop on Artie/Tina: The season will start with Tina dating Mike, “because Artie was a bad boyfriend (LIES! I LOVE ARTIE. “I would get down on one knee if I could.”) and only wanted to watch Coming Home, so Tina’s had it.” Ryan Murphy says “Tina wants a man who pays attention to her needs. And it’s a very, very sweet story about a boy who realizes, ‘Oh, maybe that’s the love of my life and I could have done better.’ And feels sick about it.” So I’m thinking we’re gonna see Mike be an amazing boyfriend, and Artie will be learning alot and fighting to get Tina back. Since the first half of the first episode back is what they did over their summer vacation, I’m thinking we’re going to see a heartwrenching Artie/Tina breakup.
-Emma is dating her dentist Carl (John Stamos) and Will will be pining for her once again.
-Brittany and Santana will kiss. This episode will be early on in the season.
-Although it’s been made clear that Finn and Rachel will be together for Season 2, Ryan says Puck will still be there and wants to know “how Rachel will resist.” So it looks like he hasn’t forgotten about Puckleberry! And we’re getting a duet, too!
————————————————————————————-
Song Spoilers:
-Songs will be cut back to average 5 an episode instead of 8 like the back 9. One episode has 4 songs. Ryan wants to “focus more on the characters” so season 2 is more “intimate.”
-Lea also told us that the boys do something similar to “What It Feels Like For A Girl” from the Madonna episode, but it’s Not “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman”

*Tubthumbing by Chumbawamba, performed by New Directions
*Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt, performed by Puck
*Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen, performed by New Directions

-Ryan wants Artie to sing Guys And Dolls (please be Luck Be A Lady) and revisit the Golden Age of Broadway. (I like this. Alot.)
-At the end of the Britney episode, Lea Michele Finn and Rachel will sing a song by a “newer band” and a song she calls “one of her favorites of all time” and it will be a love song.
-There will be an Original Song episode in the second half of the season where the kids will be asked to write their own songs.
