Glee: The Next Generation has been renewed for a third season and fourth season by JamesonOTP and will start sometime after Season 2 comes to an end. Not a whole lot has been made known, however this article is comprised of all the things we do know.
Season 3 marks the start of Senior year for most of New Directions, so in order to give proper focus to the characters and stories, The Senior Year Arc will be broken up into two parts. The first half will encompass Season 3. The second half will encompass Season 4.
This allows for more solos, more character development, more major storylines, and also gives us plenty of chances to work in episodes for all major holidays. Season 3 will have a Halloween episode and a Christmas episode. Season 4 will have a New Year's Eve and Valentine's episode. But don't expect a New Year's Eve episode like the two in the past. Alcohol will not be a major focus and instead it will deal with New Directions finding other things to do instead.
