'Glee' Co-Creator Brad Falchuk: Season 3 'Will Be the Best Season'

Entertainment Weekly sat down to talk to "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk about the season two finale, which aired Tuesday night, but couldn't resist asking him what the next season has in store.

The biggest news to come out of this is that they're actually hiring a writing staff for the third season. Unlike nearly every other television show, "Glee" has been written almost exclusively by its creators, Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and Falchuk (the one exception was "The Rocky Horror Glee Show," which has a story credit to Tim Wollaston). "We'll have an actual television writing staff like other places do," Falchuk said. "We're trying to get a lot of quirky people and interesting people and people that are not what you'd expect. I think it's gonna help us to get some fresh voices. Don't get me wrong, it's still our show."

He dodged questions about specifics, as they won't start really breaking the story until the end of June, but promised that "we have some big plans for next year...We have some really great, big ideas. I am under the opinion it will be the best season."

Adding to that challenge is "The Glee Project," a reality/competition show in which contestants compete for a role on the third season of "Glee." That show premieres June 12th, and unless it's rigged, the new "Glee" writing staff will have some serious last-minute writing to do.

The big question hanging over the third season is how they'll handle graduation, an unavoidable obstacle in any show set in the ever-changing world of high school. Kurt and Rachel drew the line in the sand during the season two finale, stating unequivocally that they would end up in New York. It seems like a stretch to bring along the entire "Glee" gang, so will they completely gut the cast and replace it? We shall see next year.

In the meantime, check out the entire interview with Falchuk, in which he discusses the finale more in-depth. In particular, he notes that the club just wasn't ready for nationals, and that it would have been "disingenuous" to have them even make the top ten when they approached it with so little focus and investment. If you ask me, they're using the same cycle they did with regionals - defeat one year, victory the next. And what better way to go out with a graduation/nationals victory twofer? Pure speculation on my part, so again...we shall see.
