Dear TGP cast haters. Neener neener.
স্বতস্ফূর্ত co-creator and executive producerRyan Murphy told reporters on Thursday that the “part had already been written” before it dawned on him that Lindsay Pearce, one of the four finalists on The স্বতস্ফূর্ত Project, could be a good fit for the part — a leader of another গান গাওয়া group.
“It was a little weird because we were shooting it before the final episode of The স্বতস্ফূর্ত Project aired, so we built that big conference hotel set on the stage and sort of cloaked her under a blanket — not actually, but we were nervous about that getting out,” Murphy says, “So we kept delaying it.” Added Murphy, “Once we thought of that, I made the number bigger.”
But the two winners, Damian McGinty and Sam Larsen, will be featured with major arcs. First up is McGinty and he’ll have a connection with Brittany (Heather Morris); the idea was first brought up দ্বারা Murphy and company on The স্বতস্ফূর্ত Project.
“Damian comes in episode four, which Adam Shankman is directing, which we’re shooting right now,” Murphy says. “He is a foreign exchange student who is shacking up with Brittany and she of course believes he is to be a leprechaun with magical powers.”
Murphy praised McGinty’s অভিনয় and গান গাওয়া ability. “On his first day, he was shoved into a locker 25 times, but without saying what the song is — his first take in his first song, the crew gave him a huge ovation. He did great with the acting,” he says.
The সেকেন্ড winner, Larsen, will likely be introduced in “episode 10 অথবা 11,” Murphy revealed, and he’ll “be a relative, I believe, of Puck (Mark Salling).”
Not to be forgotten, the other শীর্ষ four finalist Alex Newell, “will also be used sort of like Lindsay,” he shared, adding that he “will come in later” in the season.
But has Murphy considered expanding the runner-ups’ arcs from two episodes to possibly more?
“I have,” Murphy says of potentially seeing আরো Pearce, whose character will likely be seen at sectionals for her সেকেন্ড episode. “One of my পছন্দ moments in that episode, I প্রণয় where she gets in Lea [Michele]’s face. I believe people would প্রণয় to see catfights between them onscreen between Lea and Lindsay.”
When asked whether Cameron Mitchell, the competitor who quit The স্বতস্ফূর্ত Project in the seventh episode, could appear some time this season, Murphy ব্যক্ত “not this year” but left the door open for পরবর্তি year.
স্বতস্ফূর্ত premieres Tuesday at 8 p.m. on শিয়াল with “The Purple পিয়ানো Project.”
