Darren Criss & Harry Shum Jr. Promoted to Series Regulars, Chord Overstreet Not
TVLine‘s Michael Ausiello brings us some news that has Darren Criss and Harry Shum Jr. fans breathing a sigh of relief, but has upset the fans of season two addition Chord Overstreet. Check out what Ausiello has to say below:
It’s a case of good news/bad news for Glee fans.
First the good: Darren Criss (Blaine) and Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) have officially been upgraded to full-time series regulars, effective this fall with the start of Season 3.
And now for the not so good news…
Chord Overstreet‘s series regular option has not been picked up. However, a source close to the show says the actor — who joined the Fox hit last fall in the recurring role of McKinley transfer student Sam Evans — could return as an occasional guest star.

It appears that we may have seen the last Sam Evans on Glee. What do you think?
Update: In a recent Ask Ausiello, Michael says, “And to all those inquiring about the status of Ashley Fink, her rep assures me that she will be back on a recurring basis next season.” Phew! I don’t think we could afford to lose another member of the New Directions! We’re glad to hear we’ll be seeing more of Lauren Zizes come fall.
Chord Overstreet is one of the main reasons i watch glee and the same with all my friends so he should be on glee ALL THE TIME
It’s a big mistake not to have Chord Overstreet returning as a regular cast member, he’s a very talented singer, actor & performer; this a real shame!! Please reconsider.
you’ve got ample light to do the job while other motorists can clearly see
I am so glad that Darren and Harry are being promoted but very sad for Chord Overstreet. He is a legend at my high school and in glee, he is a great actor and brought his skills to Glee. I wish they would not let him go after only one series.
