The glee club’s fearless leader is Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), a talented young teacher with hip-hop skills and a heart of gold. New Directions’ aspiring stars include Rachel (Lea Michele), a pitch-perfect singer with an unfaltering determination to be popular; Finn (Cory Monteith), the heartbreakingly cool quarterback who struggles with his personal life; Kurt (Chris Colfer), the baby-faced soprano with a fierce eye for fashion; Mercedes (Amber Riley), a powerhouse vocalist whose diva attitude rivals the greats; Artie (Kevin McHale), a physically disabled performer with killer vocals and a dream to dance; and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), a goth chick with a soft side. There’s also arrogant and cocky crooner Puck (Mark Salling); ice-cold queen-bee-turned-teen-mom Quinn (Dianna Agron); and the dynamic dimwitted cheerleading duo of Brittany (Heather Morris) and Santana (Naya Rivera).
With his heart in the right place, Will is determined to help the kids take Nationals, but at every turn he must battle with his nemesis, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), the conniving cheerleading coach; and his evil ex-wife, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig). Mr Schuester’s only allies at McKinley are OCD-afflicted guidance counsellor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) and supportive parents like Kurt’s dad, Burt Hummel (Mike O’Malley).
The second season of Glee includes guest appearances by Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, heartthrob John Stamos, international pop star Charice and newcomer Chord Overstreet. Season 2 includes all 22 episodes.
