Chord Overstreet is reportedly in line to return to Glee. The 22-year-old actor — who left the program after the second series — is in negotiations to reprise his role as blonde hunk Sam Evans on the TV show on a recurring basis, which could see him return as early as this season’s eighth episode, which is due to air in December.
“We missed Chord and Chord missed us. It’s a win-win,” a source said.
Chord — who is thought to be in a relationship with Scream 4 actress Emma Roberts — previously turned down the chance to star on the show on a recurring basis after Glee producers decided against keeping him as a series regular for the current third season.
“They offered me the chance to come back for a few episodes, but there was nothing guaranteed so I decided to dive into the music thing,” he said.
“And that’s been my main priority the past two months.”
It is not yet known how Chord’s alter-ego Sam — who previously had relationships with Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) and Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) — will be re-introduced to the show.
