Melissa Benoist, Becca Tobin, Others Upped to Regulars on “Glee”

Bad news for some “Glee” cast members was matched today by good news for others. Sources confirm that five actors billed as recurring guest stars during season four will perform as regulars in season five.

Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Alex Newell, Becca Tobin and Blake Jenner represent the five new regulars. Though great news for them and their fans, the upgrade is something of a formality given how prominently all had been featured throughout season four.

News of the cast promotion comes via The Hollywood Reporter and a day after TVLine broke that Heather Morris, Harry Shum, Jr, Mark Salling, Amber Riley and Dianna Agron, all of whom had been appearing on “Glee” since season one, would not be back as regulars in season five.
