It’s time to celebrate, Gleeks!
Your prayers have been heard ’cause The CW has confirmed that Fox’s “Glee” alums Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin will be teaming up for a musical crossover in the coming season of “Supergirl” and “The Flash”.
During the Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour,Β The CW announced that a special 2-episode musical crossover between the 2 DC-based seriesΒ willΒ occur around episode 13 of each TV showβs respective new season.
βYes, there will be a musical crossover. Thereβs going to be a musical pair of episodes in the back half of the year between ‘Supergirl’ and ‘TheΒ Flash’,β saidΒ executive producer Greg Berlanti on Thursday (11th August).
He then added that they will be using “mostly pre-existing songs”, which is somewhat similar to the structure of “Glee”.
It’s no secret that the cast of both dramas are musically talented. Aside from Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, who playsΒ Detective Joe West in “The Flash”, and Jeremy Jordan, who playsΒ Winslow “Winn” Schott Jr. in “Supergirl”, are Broadway singers themselves.
“So many times itβs a musical episode off the set, and I think on all the shows, we love to use all of the character talents as much as possible,” said Berlanti.
But in case you didn’t know,Β this crossover has nothing to do withΒ the 4-way crossover between “The Flash”, “Arrow”, “Supergirl”, and “Legends of Tomorrow”, which isΒ slated for December.
In “Glee”, Grant Gustin played SebastianΒ Smythe, a member of the Warblers, and Melissa Benoist played Marley Rose, a Glee club member at McKinley High School. Though the 2 didn’t have much interaction in the musical series, Gleeks are hoping to see them sing together after seeing their first superhero crossover in March, which was very well-received by both fans and critics.
“The Flash” season 3 will premiere onΒ 4th October while “Supergirl” season 2 will air on 10th October.
