For the last two seasons, Glee has strictly focused on the high school lives of the characters on the show. Darren Criss is one person who would love to see Glee start off its third season during the summer.

In an interview with the AP via Digital Spy, Criss said the following:

I would really love it to start in the summer because I want to see what these kids are up to when they’re not in school. I just want to see a little bit of summer jobs and it kind of opens up a whole lot of things.

It definitely would be a fresh turn on the series to see how everyone handles the summer life. Criss goes on to talk about how summer could show the expanded families of the characters on the show.

I always joke that everyone in Glee is like family-less. No-one has parents, no-one has brothers or sisters… like any time they have a concert or something, the parents never come, I guess. No-one really cares. No-one’s driving them home afterward. I don’t know how they’re getting around. They’re like 15, 16 years old.

Well, we can’t argue that. It does seem like Will Schuester is the father figure to half the kids in Glee Club. It could be interesting for the show to feature some more of the families of characters.

What do you think? Does Glee in the summer sound like a viable option? Do we want to see more families?
