'Glee' will likely end after six seasons

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- U.S. musical dramedy series "Glee" will likely end after six seasons, Fox Entertainment Chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters Thursday.

"I would not anticipate it goes beyond two more seasons," Reilly said. "Never say never, but there's two very clear [story] arcs to get to that end and conclude. Listen, if we discover a new crop of kids and there's some breakout, who knows? But right now we're thinking about two seasons."

Reilly also said the death of Cory Monteith's beloved character, Finn, is to be addressed in the third episode of the upcoming fifth season.

Although that installment will feature public service announcements about substance abuse during commercial breaks, Reilly said the writers are still working on how to write Finn's death into the show.

Monteith died July 13 of an accidental heroin and alcohol overdose. He was found dead in a Vancouver, British Columbia, hotel room at the age of 31.
