It's a big sneak peek for Fox, who will preview Glee just after the American Idol telecast on Tuesday, May 19th.
The series Glee is set to premiere in the fall and follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to refuel his own passion while reinventing his school's glee club. There will be plenty of angst from a biting and funny perspective drawn from the students, who are a collection of misfits, geeks and jocks.
The glimpse of Glee is geared to generate early buzz for the new show by capitalizing off of those whopping 25 million viewers tuning into Idol each week.
The series will feature a soundtrack of hits from past to present. The musical-comedy series was created by Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck) and stars Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch.
