Brad Falchuk wouldn't hesitate to approve a "Glee" remake. So if there is enough push, fans would probably be treated to one!

If there is a "Glee" remake though, it would be deviating so much in style from the original series.

Along with Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the 52-year-old writer co-created the popular TV series, and Brad is still open to the idea of bringing it back, although in a "more modern way."

Brad Pitt, the actor married to Gwyneth Paltrow, the recipient of an Oscar, said to The Hollywood Reporter, "I know everything is always up for discussion, but is there a way to tell that story in a more contemporary way?"

"So much of what Glee was about was really this transition from an old way of looking at representation to a new way. I'd never say no, but I wonder what the point would be - except it'd be a moneymaker."

The glee club at a made-up Ohio high school served as the focal point of Glee. The show aired from 2009 until 2015 and was a big hit with viewers despite being marred by tragedy and scandal.

"None of us were prepared for that level of success," Brad revealed. "I was younger, it was a little overwhelming, and a lot of us got caught up in our egos. There was a feeling of scarcity. We were writing about high school, so it's very hard not to regress a little. It was a crucible," he shared. "At the same time, we had so much fun and everyone got along so well. Things went to hell, and then everyone got along again. It was chaotic. I'd never want to go back there, and then I'll think, 'Gosh, I'd love to go back there.''

Brad gained some valuable insights from the achievement as well. Before it ceased broadcasting in 2015, the cherished sitcom starred Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch, the late Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, the late Naya Rivera, Jenna Ushkowitz, and more. Over the course of its many years on air, the show won a number of awards, including several Primetime Emmys and Golden Globes.

When the show started a concert tour in 2010, fans had the opportunity to see their favorite cast members perform live. Glee Live! In Concert, 2010-2011! went the road with a number of the cast members giving performances.
