The “Glee” series Co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed recently that at the end of Glee’s third season, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith will not be on the show, according to US magazine.

Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter, “You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.”

It is expected the three characters will continue to be on the show throughout season 3.
