Fox says there will be no ‘Glee’ spin-off

테스트

Fox television network said on Sunday there were no plans for a spin-off of its television musical comedy “Glee” and there will be changes to Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor” after the show’s first season on U.S. television.

But “Glee” fans will likely be pleased that Lea Michele, one of the show’s leads, will still be part of the show’s upcoming season in which the characters graduate, said Kevin Reilly, president of entertainment at Fox at the Television Critics Association panels held in Los Angeles.

“There will not be a ‘Glee’ spin-off, but those characters will graduate, and it’s led to a really interesting idea that I think is going to give us something really cool to dig into next season,” he said, referring to the fates of the lead characters after they graduate high school.

While the popularity of shows including “Glee” and “New Girl” helped the network tie with CBS in the top spot for the 18-49 demographic, ratings have dropped compared to last season. Reilly said they were yet to make key decisions on the long-running “House,” as well as “Terra Nova” and “Fringe.”

Fox said it reached the top spot for the No. 1 reality series overall with “The X Factor,” despite the new singing competition’s rocky start not quite living up to creator Simon Cowell’s predictions with a show that underwhelmed critics.

Reilly said he was “thrilled” with the show’s standing in the crowded singing competition market alongside such shows as “American Idol” with popular host Ryan Seacrest and “The Voice,” but did reveal that there were going to be some changes.
