Last week, Ridley Jones' fifth and final season premiered, although not given any credit, according to show's creator Chris Nee. Some viewers blasted Fred's non-binary identity on Twitter, claiming that his non-binary identity was lost in the show's story. 'Do your kids watch Ridley Jones?' One viewer asked. It features a female bison who identifies as neither female nor male, and it wants to be identified with 'they/them' pronouns.' I slipped in there quietly. Drip drip drip drip... What a message to teenage girls in particular.' The show is also available on Netflix, and all 15 episodes of the new season are included.

A new curriculum will be back in William McKinley High School's halls soon, although it may be a little different this time around. A recent Discovery+ and Ample Entertainment docuseries will explore the numerous tragedies and scandals that have dogged Ryan Murphy's smash hit "Glee," which have aired from 2009 to 2015, as well as in the years since. The "Glee" cast has suffered with misfortune over the years. Cory Monteith — who played lovable jock Finn Hudson and was also Lea Michele's on- and off-screen boyfriend — died of an accidental heroin overdose in 2013. Noah "Puck" Puckerman was arrested in 2015 for holding photos of child pornography and died of apparent suicide three years later.

In "Funny Girl," Chris Colfer will not see his old "Glee" costar Lea Michele. Colfer, a hit performer, appeared on "The Michelle Collins Show" on Sirius XM's Radio Andy on October 11, where she begged Collins if she was seeing "Funny Girl" after she announced she would be attending a Broadway performance. Collins chuckled and said she was. "Oh, my day just got so full," Colfer said. Collins said she wanted to see Michele because she had seen Beanie Feldstein in the film already. Colfer countered, "I saw 'Six' last night, and it was amazing."

Lea Michele did not want to be dissed by her ex Glee costar Chris Colfer rain on her parade, nor did she want to miss her matinee appearance of Funny Girl in New York City. The 32-year-old actress smirkked when she asked if Michele would be checking out her musical, the Scream Queens actress, 36, seemed in good spirits as she smiled and waved to onlookers on Tuesday. In a black jacket, matching knee-high boots, and an olive green miniskirt, the mother-of-one, who welcomed her son Ever with husband Zandy Reich in 2020, looked incredibly chic.

Although Lea Michele's appearance on Funny Girl has received rave reviews, don't expect Chris Colfer, her longtime co-star, to be among those flocking to the show. When asked if he'd be checking out the musical while in New York City, the actor, who performed opposite Lea from 2009 to 2015, smacked Lea. Chris joked that his day'got full' after Michelle Collins suggested that he check out Funny Girl, more than two years after Lea came under fire for suspected bullying behavior on the set of Glee.
