Jun 16, 2020 • Bianca Katipunan
You’re probably curious about where the stars of the hit television series Glee are now (otherwise, naglolokohan lang tayo, bat ka nandito?). The former students of McKinley High went their separate ways five years ago, and while some of the cast are still active in show business, others have chosen to stay outside of the limelight. Since the show is trending once more, let’s see what the kids of McKinley High are up to these days.
Chord Overstreet
After playing Sam Evens on Glee, Chord is now focusing on his music career. Chord is now signed with Safe House Records which was founded by Demi Lavato, Nick Jonas, and Phil McIntyre. In 2017, he released his first EP titled Tree House Tapes and he performed on NBC’s Today Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Dianna Agron
The actress who played popular cheerleader Quinn Fabray hasn’t been part of any new television show since Glee. She has, however, appeared in some films, including Ralph Breaks The Internet. In 2016, she married Mumford & Sons musician Winston Marshall.
Chris Colfer
Chris Colfer won a Golden Globe award for playing Kurt Hummel. These days, Colfer enjoys writing children’s books; the actor has published a total of 15 books. Since the show ended, Colfer hasn’t starred in any television programs.

This handsome warbler went on to become an Emmy-winning actor. Darren Criss, who played Blaine Anderson in the show, is probably one of the most successful Glee alumni. The actor went on to star in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and the Netflix series Hollywood. Criss also tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend last year.
