Glee
A musical comedy-drama which originally focused on the high school glee club ‘New Direction’s competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality and social issues. By season 4 a lot of the show’s familiar faces have graduated, so the show shifted it’s focus to following the graduates, along with the school’s new recruits.
Since Sky took over airing the show from E4, it’s come under some unfair criticism for it’s scheduling. Season 2 aired in January 2011, and people complained about the long wait from the US air date. So for season 3 Sky tried to air close to the US air date, but people complained about it jumping weeks – caused by the gaps in the US scheduling… US scheduling can seem somewhat erratic, as the US networks will bump shows so they don’t get scheduled against things like major sporting events, or over US holiday weekends.
Really stuck at people complaining either way, Sky seem to have decided it’s better to wait and air Glee in a solid block from January, rather than to cause confusion by airing close to the US and having to skip weeks.

James
when Does Glee season 6 Start.
Hope it starts soon.
James Carroll
Sky announced tht it will be back the first week of July! Oxoxoxox
They can’t show it in the UK again yet because there is a small comedy club called “the glee club” that’s sued and its been said glee might not air on British tv again. Fox have said they are fighting but here’s the link to read for your self http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s57/glee/news/a549836/glee-club-wins-glee-trademark-battle-show-could-be-banned-in-uk.html
Sorry guys I’m gutted too.
I love glee and it has been an inspiration on me, i would love for it to be aired soon and i would love for it to carry on but obviously they cant, i want to go and see the studios and would love to meet the cast, i have seen every episode and i know almost everything about it 🙂
I wished glee stayed on E4 as it was better and the viewers were treated better and since it moved to sky one we have been messed about..
Just let E4 have it back and why do we have to wait then
What month roughly do you mean when you say “later this year” ??? 🙂
I don’t, I’m afraid. Sky said later this year, so any refinement would be pure speculation. It could be anywhere from May to December.
My sky planner says it is season 5 episode 9 on Sunday at 8am, is that definitely wrong??
when is season5 of glee starting on Sky 1.
James Carroll
Again, later in the year James. Date undefined
i can confirm it is season 4, so do sky believe they are showing season 5? confirmed season 6 on sky though
Season 5 will be back later in the year. Season 6 hasn’t been made yet
the email Is a false one as the episode that never miss say is the next part of season 5 is in fact season 4 episode 9
Hi, I am DYING to know when this returns to Sky, the latest would be much appreciated
I had an email aswell of sky saying its on sunday 8am
anyone else heard news of this?
I’ve had an email off sky never miss saying glee is starting this week but can’t find it on the TV guide what’s going on
Hmmm, interesting. It may be that it was scheduled for this week at some point and the service wasn’t updated. It really doesn’t look like it is restarting this week though
Any news on glee’s Return.. Better be soon.
James Carroll
Later in the year is the best info right now
Please can you please find out when it is returning in Ireland because I can’t find it anywhere and I don’t think I can wait any longer.. Please!
Never thought I would see the day that I would be rooting for Fox but for purely selfish reasons I am. I want to support a show I love and its creators by watching it legally and having the option to buy stuff associated with it.
IMO this legal battle is stupid especially since the judge thinks the club haven’t been hurt by this. I’d never even heard of this club until I looked this legal battle up, maybe I’m just cleverer than most but I would never think there was a connection between the two myself.
Note to self: never go to The Glee Club ever.
when is glee starting on sky one in march?
James
Please see my answers to George and Michael immediately below. I’ve moved the date to “unknown” for now
Can someone please tell me what date Glee is returning on Sky 1 in Ireland?? It says March but I keep checking and it’s not on? 🙁
I don’t know about Ireland but it is currently undefined in the UK
Im seeing things bout glee all over youtube but when i check sky 1 it aint on so whens it back on like wa date??
When is glee season 5 Part 2 starting on SKY One again in the uk and what date,
It is up in the air at the moment
Do you mean the airdate or whether it will be screened at all?
When is glee season 5 Part 2 starting on SKY One.
And what date,
james
At the moment there is little known if/or when the rest will air. With the who legal battle over with and fox losing it at the moment it stands that Glee could be cancelled on UK Telly, although Fox are fighting the choice since they don’t see it being fair.
When is glee season 5 part 2 coming to uk is it only me that is getting frustrated about this? Could the silence be because of the row with the glee club if so I think that is wrong the glee club is different to glee its 3 words for crying out
omg. i am so confused.
Can we help, Becca?
When does glee start back in the uk and what channel ??
We are expecting it back next month, sky1. See list above.
im confused when is glee returning to uk screens can anybody please tell me
Next month, we expect
Lots of people tweeting to sky1 for an airdate. They are just replying saying it will be this year but dont know when!!
Anyone know when the rest of series 5 will be aired in the UK? Don’t want to wait ages 🙁
I think E4 should take back the airing of glee coz when you get into the series england has to wait until january the next year and it is not fair
I don’t think a broadcaster can just take it back from another. The licences are often subject to bidding and it is extremely unlikely that a broadcaster would lose the licence to another broadcaster simply by not broadcasting content at the same time as it is broadcast in another country.
As it airs annually in January, the wait between series is no longer than for viewers in the programme’s home market of the US.
However, I wonder if viewers in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland also have to wait until January, as the date is likely to apply to the whole country rather than just one part of it.
Just to let everybody know that Sky has said at least the first 3 episodes will air within 7 days of the US showing them for the first time on American TV. This is to make sure that we don’t have to wait for the Cory Monteith episode that many people want to watch.
I hope airdate is changed so we dont have to wait for Cory Mont
eiths tribute episode
Hey
Just to let you know you’ve got glee listed as season 4 when it should be season 5
Thanks. I’ve fixed that now
