Major Glee Shake Up: Who's Not Returning for Season 5?

'Glee' is getting rid of some major players before heading into season 5.


The original cast members Amber Riley (Mercedes Jones), Heather Morris (Brittany S. Pierce), Mark Salling (Noah 'Puck' Puckerman) and Harry Shum Jr. (Mike Chang) won't be returning to the FOX series as series regulars. All characters may return to series with the actors being credited as 'guest stars'. Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray) wasn't a series regular last season but did guest star in a couple of episodes, Agron still has the option to guest star again next season.

We saw this coming for a lot of the stars as they weren't included in many season 4 episodes but I will still be sad to see Mercedes and Brittany leave. Morris recently became pregnant with longtime boyfriend, Taylor Hubbell, so perhaps she will welcome some time off.
