The ULTIMATE Season 2 Spoiler Round-Up!
I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!
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. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
- 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.
- Sam Elliot 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?)
- Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
- Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
- Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
- John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
- Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
- Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?
*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.
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.”
- A second Madonna episode will happen.
- 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. They’re working on getting Susan Boyle for this episode. I want to see some Hanukkah thrown in there!
- There will only be 2 artist tribute episodes this season, but they are not holding back in terms of budget.
- The Superbowl episode will definitely be a tribute episode. Kristin Dos Santos rumors it to be a tribute to Bruce Springsteen.
- There is speculation that the Adam Shankman-directed episode will be a tribute to Michael Jackson.
Relationship News:
- Finn and Rachel will stay together for Season 2. However, they won’t be doing the deed anytime soon. “Jumping in bed with the quarterback isn’t true to her.”
- The truth about Finn and Santana will surface and create turbulence for Finn and Rachel’s relationship.
- 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.
- The season will start with Tina dating Mike, “because Artie was a bad boyfriend 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. This was confirmed at the Television Critic’s Association awards. “We’re filming that episode on Monday,” he told AfterEllen.com. He said there will definitely be a kiss. “Maybe more.”
- Ryan says Puck will still be on Rachel’s case during her relationship with Finn, and he wants to know “how Rachel will resist.” So it looks like he hasn’t forgotten about Puckleberry! There will also be a duet between them.
Song Spoilers:
- “Losing My Religion” by REM and “Papa Can You Hear Me” will be covered in an upcoming episode about religion. “Papa Can You Hear Me” will be covered by Lea Michele, and Amber will be doing a “great gospel number.”
- 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.”
- Ryan wants Artie to sing Guys And Dolls (Luck Be A Lady?) and revisit the Golden Age of Broadway.
- 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.
The Britney Episode
- “Stronger” will be covered by Heather Morris.
- Heather says “Slave 4 U” is her favorite video. And since this ep will be done in a hallucinogenic way, maybe we’ll see it!
- Lea Michele will be tackling “a classic Britney song,” as well as recreating a Britney video.
- A picture of Lea Michele wearing an outfit very similar to one in the “Hit Me Baby One More Time” music video has surfaced. It basically confirms she’ll be recreating the music video. Click here for the picture.
- 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.”
- 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.)
- Will will shave his head, to recreate Britney shaving her head. There will be a character double for Matthew Morrison, so he doesn’t have to actually shave his head. This is confirmed on an extras website, where the casting call reads “Cauc male, late 20′s to early 30′s. MUST HAVE the curly/wavy hair. You will be getting your head shaved on camera.”
- At the end of the Britney episode, 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.
Rumored song list for Season 2, Episode 1 “Audition”
- 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
- Open Your Eyes To Love by LMNT, performed by Rachel and Finn
- Come Back To Me by David Cook, performed by Will
Recurring Characters:
- We will see more from Mike Chang, Tina, Brittany, and Santana.
- Mike O’Malley (Kurt’s dad) is now a series regular, so we’ll see more of him.
- We get to see Puck deal with some issues, which Santana helps him with.
- Artie and Puck will have to reaudition for Glee, but only 1 will make it.
- They will revisit the Kurt/Finn thing and address their living situation. There will be a whole episode centered around Kurt’s dad learning more about his son’s feelings for Finn. From the TCAs: “I think that Mike O’Malley’s character needs to sort of really learn more about the Finn-Kurt relationship and learn about Kurt’s feelings and have an opinion on that. And that’s something that we’re going to do a whole episode about, that Kurt sort of has to deal with the idea of young romantic love. But I think it’s very difficult for that character in his high school environment. I don’t think he knows anybody else like him.” (source)
- We get to see Mercedes’ home life, and she brings Kurt to church with her.
- The Quinn/Mercedes friendship will last.
- Quinn will be back to her bitchy roots when the season starts, “she misses her ponytail and cheerleading uniform” but Mercedes keeps her in check.
- Santana’s role in season 2 is “heavy” and “mean.”
- Santana and Quinn will both remain very mean for Season 2, almost “competing” for the head bitch. Ah, just like old times.
- Sue will not be soft like many were thinking, she’ll be back to her mean roots.
- The Finn/Santana/Rachel/Jesse sex lies will be addressed in an episode.
- April Rhodes, Shelby Corcoran, and Jesse St. James will return. “He has to come back and give Rachel a pep talk,” so things will be reconciled between Jesse and Rachel.
- The producers are hoping to get Neil Patrick Harris back for Season 2. Ryan teased a Bryan/Terri hookup where he said “We had Jessalyn earmarked for someone else, but…” So it looks like Terri is gonna get some action!
- 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.
- Paul McCartney sent Murphy a mixtape of Beatles tracks he’d hoped Murphy would consider, but there is no news of whether or not he will make an appearance.
- Justin Timberlake will NOT guest star. But if he ever does, he’ll play Will’s younger brother.
General Show Info:
- Sue Sylvester will write her memoir (no news on whether or not it will be called “I’m a Winner and You’re Fat,” but I hope to GOD it is!), and Jane Lynch will go on Borders book signing as her character.
- Three new writers will be added to the team by January.
- Joss Whedon will come back to direct another episode.
- Hairspray director and So You Think You Can Dance judge Adam Shankman will also be directing an episode.
- The Season 2 premiere episode, titled “Auditions,” will air on September 21st. On the episode title: “The idea is that even if you’re not in high school, everything in your daily life is an audition,” says Ryan Murphy.
- Episode three (2×03) will be titled “Faith.”
- The season finale will be Nationals in New York, so we know if they show Sectionals or Regionals that they win.
- The first half of the Season 2 premiere will be looking at what the kids did over their summer vacation.
- They will start the season bigger losers than they ever were, coming off their loss at Regionals.
I totally agree with the Sam Elloit=Kurt’s boyfriend thing. They did the exact same thing before with Rachel’s mom! It would be so interesting if Finn’s rival turns out to be Kurt’s future boyfriend…. I’d love to see Finn’s reaction to that.
And SCORE for the Brittany/Santana kiss and Mike Chang’s long-overdue character development! I wonder if Matt will get some more lines… And WHY do Puck and Artie have to reaudition?? And only one of them make it?? Oh no! D:
But wow, thank you guys so much for putting together all the spoilers!! I thought I was up to date, but I hadn’t even heard of alot of these.
Best! Post! Ever! I haven’t been able to keep up with all the spoilers and this is fantastic to see them all laid out in one place. Thank you! And TUBTHUMPING! WOO!
thank you so much! I have been so confused with all the spoilers this really helps! This excites me so much, I cant wait! And Im so excited for Sue’s book! :)
*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.
^I hope to the Glee gods that this is true! I love Chord Overstreet for Kurt’s boyfriend. It would be perfect. And hello! Kum Helliot!
And I’m so pumped for the Brittana kiss. :)
I am BEYOND PISSED that Sam will have a special realationship with Quinn. I want Puck and Quinn!
I can’t wait to see Puck deal with those “issues”
Love Puck<3
Also, I am pissed Artie and Puck have to reaudtion but I think it will be Puck that makes it because Artie is in the wheelchair and cant dance… also, what about Matt? Is he even gonna be in it this season?
You know, I really loved Glee for a while. It was an awesome and wholesome show… But honestly… In my opinion, based of these spoilers.. I might stop watching. There’s to much change… It’s just turning into a sex, scandalous, show with values buried deep within. I hate that glee has gone sour for me. Ok we understand that RyJ Murphy is gay and his potrayal of Kurt but with the whole thing with finn and him getting a boyfriend and Santana-Brittany thing it’s just getting crazy. I have nothing against gay people but it’s just like… Yes we understand that Kurtz gay but why does this show need to force it down peoples throats? I’m really sad to say I might stop watching. :( I REALLY liked Glee ALOT… :(
PLUS puck and Artie have to erudition and only one makes it. AND there’s gonna be way to many characters to keep up with. haha
Zeke:
How are they “forcing” the fact that Kurt’s gay and Santana and Brittany are bi down people’s throats? They’re in relationships (or going to be.) Big deal. Every other straight character in the show is in one. Why not say they’re “forcing heterosexual-ness” on you, too? That seems a bit hypocritical of you.
(sorry for commenting again… I just had a crazy thought!)
We learned in Wheels that Mercede’s dad is a dentist, and now Emma is dating a dentist. Could it be possible that Mercedes was adopted and John Stamos’s character is her father? It seems a bit of a stretch, but since we’re probably going to see Mercedes’s parents, it would be strange if Glee had two dentist characters. Just a thought… ^^
OK Im commenting again to apoligize to those who may have tooken offense to my previous comment. I was JUST stating my opinion and if it bothers anyone i wont comment again.
Yes!! im so happy there doing more with mike cheng!! :DD
Zeke – If you like Glee “alot” then you would understand that the show is about acceptance and being an underdog. You not accepting the characters for who they are is the exact problem they are addressing. If it really offends you that much, you should have stopped watching a while ago when Kurt hit on Finn and when Brittany hinted that she and Santana had sex. If you *truly* had no problem with gay people you would have had a problem with Puck womanizing, getting Quinn pregnant, Santana sleeping around, Rachel trying to seduce Finn, Will seducing Sue, Will seducing Emma…need I go on?
—Different Note—
Also, I am pretty sure everyone will have to re-audition, it’s just one of those two who get cut. For the dramaz.
I will be watching GLEE now because of Charice.
Im so excited for charice’s coming appearance on the show!love her so much!
No doubt, an amazing post. It has so much great information! And btw Zeke…were you ever in high school, especially drama or show choir? I couldn’t tell you how many of my friends went though the phase of trying to find out if they were gay, striaght, or bi. Not to mention high school in general changes every day, and…it’s a tv show.
Sooooo excited for them to cover ” Don’t Stop Me Now”!!!
I’m definitely going to watch Glee now that Charice is one of the characters! I can’t wait! I guess I need some catching up to do…haven’t watched Glee ever but now I’m going to…I can’t wait im so excited to see Charice!
can’t wait for the 2nd season because of charice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charice’s character is called Sunshine? Uh-oh. Looks like we got a mary sue here!!!
IM DEFINITLY watching glee this season mostly because kurt gets a boyfriend! OMG! sad that idina menzel is gonna be off but it still sounds like a really good season!
Allll right! Javier Bardem, heavy metal, Bruce Springsteen, more Joss Whedon, Queen and the Beatles. If all this turn out to be true I’m gonna hafta find a job to pay for shipping the dvds across the ocean. Plus Kurt’s boyfriend and Brittana~ Show, I love you :D
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.”
NOOOOOO!!! That’s the best part, the music!
There should definitely be a Queen tribute episode.
This post just made my day. Hearing about Jesse returning, who happens to be the hottest and sweetest person ever, just made me want to scream. I love the idea of Sue’s book.
I have a feeling Artie might be out, as a twist, even though he’s one of my favourite characters. I don’t want any of them to leave, but I think whoever goes out won’t be gone for long. Can’t wait to hear Brittany sing, too.
Just for the record: GLEE IS THE GREATEST, MOST ANGEL-KISSED SHOW EVER. ANYONE WHO DOESN’T WATCH IT IS GOING TO HELL. GLEE-LOVERS, SEE YOU UP THERE.
I can’t wait to see Finn again!! Glee is the best show ever made. I would kill anyone who disagrees! Glee is an amazing show. Everyone should watch it. I think that Brittany actually has a good voice, I find the book “I’m a winner and your fat” kinda odd because it reminds me of the “Burn Book” from Mean Girls. Bye for now.
Finn Obssesser
this will be pure awesomeness… only thing i could wish for is if they had not only gay guys, but maybe a lesbian here and there, lol. being a lesbian myself and all… but still, gonna be awesome to see kurt finally get him a boyfriend. but still, a girl can wish to see others like herself, right?? haha… w00t for this season, seems like if every said above is true, i am gunna be glued to my tv, and prob buying the dvd’s at my wal-mart, oh yeah!!!
Please don’t short us the music, I love glee because of the music, i dont need another 90210 or OC I want talent! Please take note! I watch GLEE only because of the music!
I love gLee but now that Charice would be a part of it, I think I need to miss a few episodes. Especially the ones wherein she’ll show up. Just my own opinion.
Puck and Quinn will not be together, but they will have “sweet” moments.
^^ WHAT? I want FINN and QUINN!!
OMG PUCK STILL LIKE’S RACHEL???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? XD OMG BUT IM A FINN+RACHEL FAN
FINCHEL!!!!!!!
I REALLY WANTED QUINN AND PUCK TO GET TOGETHER SO BAD AGAIN!!!!! I am also really excited to see kurt and mercedes get some action this coming season!
OMG I WANT PUCKLEBERRY BACK! I love Puckleberry! I was so excited when Finn and Racheal broke up… Sorry for those Finchel fans, but I was grinning so friken much at that moment. Puckleberry is just too much fun to not bring back. I’m even excited for Jesse St. James to come back. For a back stabbing jerk he was good on the show… And I loved him. :D jk he’s just pure awesomeness. haha!
i do NOT want sam and kurt to date i like sam and quinn together. so glad finn and racheal broke up. hope they NEVER get back together.racheal and jesse st. jame are good together. puck+racheal=GRR, HATE IT
i want tina to date artie not mike i mean i like them together and all but i want them back together. kurt and blaine (aka kurts bf) should stay together.
