Naya Rivera’s Dad Speaks on Her Death in The Price of Glee Documentary
Watch the trailer here.
Time to find out what we really missed. A new documentary about the behind-the-scenes drama on smash hit show Glee is on its way.
Premiering on Discovery+, The Price of Glee will show the rise of the series and the deaths of its stars Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, and Mark Salling.
"In May 2009, 10 young actors made their TV debut on Glee," the text in the trailer reads. "By 2020, all of them would be famous. And three of them would be dead."
None of the stars from the show will appear in the three-part docuseries, but it does include some of their friends and family, including Rivera's father George. "I knew that was the top of the mountain for Naya," he says in the trailer. "For your kid, it was just surreal."
But the docuseries alleges, "The bigger the show went, the smaller their worlds become."
Rivera died by accidental drowning in 2020. Monteith died of an accidental heroin overdose in 2013, and Salling died by suicide in 2018.
Kevin Mchale, who played Artie on the show, confirmed they the cast had no involvement with the show. "You don't necessarily want to give something more attention than it maybe deserves or needs," he told In Touch WeeklyIn Touch Weekly. "But we'll see. Us and all of our friends have nothing to do with it, so we'll see what happens."
The final episode of Glee aired on March 20, 2015.
It didn't! Season 6 wrapped up the series in 13 chaotic, bow-tied episodes.
Six! The show aired between 2009 - 2015.
