Gleeful reunion! Lea Michele is gearing up for the 100th episode of Glee, and to celebrate the actress shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the upcoming show — with returning costar Dianna Agron!
“Early 80’s glam at #Glee today with @DiannaAgron,” Michele tweeted on Thursday, Jan. 30. With the caption, she posted a photo of the ladies, both 27, posing in American Hustle-esque gowns in the middle of a McKinley High hallway. The “Battlefield” singer wore a seductive, revealing black crop top and metallic skirt, while Agron wore a red gown.
“Channeling my inner American Hustle,” Michele added. “Such a fun day at #Glee with @DarrenCriss @DiannaAgron @chriscolfer @MarkSalling @iharryshum @Matt_Morrison & @MrRPMurphy!”
Michele also posted a picture of the group grabbing a bite to eat with creator Ryan Murphy. “So thankful for my amazing glee family. I love them so much,” she gushed.
Murphy confirmed last month that he invited the entire original cast back to be a part of the show’s 100th episode. On Jan. 15, Michele also shared a picture of Heather Morris‘ return, which marked the first time she surfaced since giving birth to a baby boy last September.
Many old timers may be returning, but one face will be noticeably absent from the milestone episode — the late Cory Monteith. Though the reunion will surely be bittersweet, the show’s director has reassured that the episode will address his death once again. (The cast first acknowledged his absence in the October 2013 episode, “The Quarterback.” Agron was surprisingly left out from the tribute.)
“I don’t think it could go much farther without continuing to talk about how that hurts,” director Paris Barclay told Us Weekly exclusively at the the 66th Annual Directors Guild Awards on Jan. 25. “There is so much feeling there and it affected the Glee family in such a profound way, and you can expect it to be dealt with in the 100th episode. It definitely comes back and is dealt with in a significant way.”?
Glee’s 100th episode is set to air on March 18 at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
