Fox Renews Glee for Season 5, Then Renews It Again for Season 6

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img src="http://static.tvtome.com/images/genie_images/news_hub/uploaded/TimSpotnews136639814769/glee.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">One of the higher-profile television shows whose future has surprisingly remained up in the air—until today, anyway—is Fox's <i>Glee</i>. Despite being one of the network's most talked-about programs and making it rain with its side business of selling songs on iTunes (Fox says it's sold more than 53 million <i>Glee</i> songs online and another 13 million <i>Glee</i> albums), <i>Glee</i> entered mid-April without any official word of a renewal. Even the bumbling crime caper <i>The Following</i> <a href="http://www.tv.com/news/fox-renews-four-the-following-new-girl-the-mindy-project-and-raising-hope-136242732350/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">got renewed</a>. </div><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Well, the question of <i>Glee</i>'s future was answered in spectacular Ryan Murphy-esque fashion when Fox ordered a fifth season of the musical comedy. AND a sixth season. That's right, after pussyfooting about the decision for months, Fox suddenly decided the show was worth another 44 episodes. </div><div style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">In all likelihood, the decision to renew was already made by Fox, and the delay in the announcement had more to do with the <i>Glee</i> team negotiating for a bigger pickup. And given the way the general public thinks <i>Glee</i> is tumbling down in quality, it's a risky move on Fox's part. But hey, ITUNES DOWNLOADS.</div></div>
