The final season of Glee will air on Friday nights beginning January 9, Fox announced Thursday.
Season 6 will mark the first time that Glee has aired on Fridays — traditionally one of the worst days to air a show because of the low number of television viewers at the end of any given work week.
Fox also announced today that the season 6 premiere and finale will be two-hour events. Episodes 1 and 2 air January 9 beginning at 8 p.m. eastern/pacific, and the final two episodes in the series air Friday, March 20.
The entire season will air over 11 consecutive weeks, meaning no inexplicable breaks like previous seasons have had to deal with. Season 6 has a 13 episode order, which is the smallest run for Glee in its six-year history.
Glee season 6’s synopsis is below. What do you think of the show’s move to Fridays?
“Glee takes its final bow with a sixth and final 13-episode season starting with a special two-hour premiere event Friday, Jan. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). New Directions’ original star, Rachel Berry (Golden Globe Award nominee Lea Michele), comes home to Lima, after her humiliating failure as a TV actress, and discovers that Sue Sylvester (Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch) has banished the arts at McKinley. Throughout its closing season, McKinley alumnae will return to say ‘good-bye’ to the award-winning and groundbreaking musical comedy. The series makes its time period premiere Friday, Jan. 16 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), and air all-new episodes for 11 consecutive weeks, culminating in a special two-hour Series Finale on Friday, March 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).”
