As if we had any doubt, TV Guide reports that Glee, Fox’s ratings juggernaut about a high school choir, has been picked up for a second season. We’ve loved Glee ever since it was a pilot script,” said Fox President Kevin Reilly. “So it’s been an incredible thrill to watch the show take root and see audiences embrace these characters in such a huge way.”

Even more exciting than the promise of another season of Glee is that there will be a nationwide casting call starting in February to fill three new roles being added in the second season. For all the “Gleeks” out there who would die for a place on the show, now’s your chance!

Glee returns to your televisions on April 13th.
