Glee Season 3 Reinforcements

The powerhouse team behind Glee is shaking things up a bit for Season 3, according to TVLine, so we’ll soon find out if others have the magic touch.

Co-creators/executive producers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan have written every episode of Glee’s first two seasons, but they’ve finally decided to trust their baby with others… and they might accidentally get a life now that they’ll actually have some free time.

Making themselves comfortable at the writing table will be Chuck and No Ordinary Family’s Allison Adler coming onboard as co-executive producer, with a new co-producer spot being filled by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the guy who might have single-handedly saved the Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark musical with a last-minute re-write.

Meanwhile, Marti Noxon, who had a hand in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, joins Michael Hitchcock as consulting producers. Matt Hodgson and Ross Maxwell don’t get any cool producer titles, but they’re still pretty important as new staff writers.

Production for the third season of Glee begins at the end of August, so it won’t be too long before we learn if all these extra helpers are a good thing or bad thing. What do you think?
