Who will join Damian, Samuel, Alex and Lindsay as winners on the next "Glee Project"? FOX


One of the really fun and least hateful reality shows from last summer was the addition of “The Glee Project” to Oxygen’s lineup. Season 2 returns with “Glee” star Lea Michele as a mentor in season premiere episode next summer. The second season of “TGP” started filming last week.

Michele, who plays lead character Rachel Berry on the hit Fox series, is the first guest mentor to be announced.

On “The Glee Project,” 14 contenders, ages 18-22, – two more than last season – will compete with new themes and new music, for a seven-episode guest-starring story arc on the Fox series.

Second season casting recently wrapped up, with thousands auditioning online and in a multi-city casting tour. “Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy will again be joined by casting director Robert Ulrich, choreographer and “Glee” co-producer Zach Woodlee and vocal coach Nikki Anders in the final deliberations of each episode of the show.

First season winner Damien McGinty is already appearing in the Fox series. Runnerup Lindsay Pearce actually filmed episodes before the finale of “The Glee Project” aired and was featured in the 'Glee" season opener last fall. Co-winner Samuel Larsen is expected to make his debut in episode nine and Alex Newell’s episode have not yet been announced.
