![]() ![]() In the third episode, he goes further into detail about his relationship with his daughter her relationship with Salling, whom she dated early on in Glee’s run. Rivera’s father, George, makes an appearance at the end of the first and second episodes. Other interview subjects include heads of the hair department for different seasons, gaffers, the assistant to the executive producer, a cinematographer, former publicists, and friends of the stars. The closest viewers get to actual cast members are stand-ins for some of the actors like Chris Colfer and Naya Rivera (stand-ins mostly help camera crew, lighting, and directing keep the actor’s place if they step off set) and one of the actors who plays a member of the central glee club’s rival team, Vocal Adrenaline. No primary or secondary cast members from the show are interviewed. What can Glee fans expect from the three-part docuseries?Ī lot of nothing. Reps for McHale, Michele, Riley, Shum, and Benoist all declined to comment. TIME reached out to McHale, Ushkowitz, Overstreet, and Tobin-in addition to over a dozen other members of the cast.

Many have criticized the idea of a “curse,” which they say dramatizes and cheapens these tragic deaths. The main stand-in for Matthew Morrison, Mark Watson, died in a car crash. In addition to Salling, there were two more deaths by suicide: Nancy Motes, a production assistant, and an unnamed rigger. Two members died of a heart attack: Jim Fuller, an assistant director, and a man named Paul, who was in charge of props. Outside of the tragic deaths of three major cast members, there were deaths among the crew as well. Rivera died by accidental drowning after saving her son while swimming in a lake near their home in California in 2020. He died by suicide in January 2018, just two months before his sentencing. ![]() In 2015, Salling was arrested for possession of child pornography and two years later, he pleaded guilty. Monteith died of an accidental heroin overdose in between the filming of Glee’s fourth and fifth seasons. It’s as simple as it sounds: because eight people involved with the show have died (three cast members and five crew members), some have pushed the narrative that there was a “curse” on Glee. What is the alleged Glee “curse” and why are people upset about the idea? The idea that the docuseries would focus on a curse gave it an impression of salaciousness and exploitation, prompting fans and cast members alike to begin to speak out against it. It’s not the first time the idea of a curse was mentioned in reference to the series the idea had floated around on social media, to the displeasure of fans. In the trailer, one of the interview subjects (who is revealed to be a cinematographer, Christopher Baffa) mentions that there might be a “curse” on the show. But when the trailer was released, that excitement was largely extinguished. There was excitement when Investigation Discovery announced back in December that they would be releasing a three-part docuseries about the television series, The Price of Glee, that re-examined the deaths of the show’s major stars-in addition to Monteith, Mark Salling in 2018 and Naya Rivera in 2020. To this day, a fervent fan base continues to support the Glee cast, and still clamors for details about what happened on set. ![]()
