Jane Lynch, the actor behind the tracksuit-clad cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on Glee, is down for a return to McKinley High.

In a recent interview with People, Lynch expressed her enthusiasm for stepping back into Sue's shoes, noting it would be “so much fun” to play the character ten years later.

Lynch, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of the sharp-tongued coach, envisions an “un-woke” Sue, ever-present and cranky. 

This sentiment echoes comments she made previously, comparing Sue's humor to that of former US President Donald Trump.

While the possibility of a revival remains unconfirmed, Lynch isn't the only Glee alum open to revisiting the show. Both co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have expressed interest in a potential return, with Falchuk pondering how the story could be modernized.

The original Glee, a massive ratings hit, followed the trials and tribulations of a high school glee club. The show not only captivated audiences but also dominated music charts with its covers.
