The documentary will cover a wide range of topics, including the series’ influence on television and popular culture as well as never-before-heard interviews that look into the group’s contentious personal lives both on and off-screen, including the deaths of three cast members.

The brand-new, two-and-a-half-and-a-half-minute trailer introduces us to Glee and its stars, who rose to the top of pop culture after the show’s 2009 premiere. While many people associate the hugely popular series with sparkle and glamour, the docuseries’ trailer immediately takes a somber turn when it shifts to chronicling the deaths of three cast members: Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, and Naya Rivera.
After a heroin overdose, Monteith would be discovered dead at the age of 31 in a motel in British Columbia in 2013. After the distressing finding of child pornography in his hands, Salling would commit suicide in 2018 at the age of 35. In 2020, at the age of 33, Rivera drowned tragically. The show examines each of these people as well as the rumors and controversy that surrounding a program that was praised for being welcoming and providing happiness to millions of viewers and followers.
Cast members, their family members, friends, and members of the production team, such as set decorators, hairdressers, stylists, and publicists, as well as entertainment reporters who covered the series, participated in the interviews for the upcoming season. A tribute to Rivera is provided by her father, George Rivera, who provides an intimate and loving look back at Naya’s life as a young actress and how her career took off. These interviews go into detail about Monteith’s journey to superstardom as well as the demons that haunted him and led to his untimely death, the working relationship and fallout the cast faced in the shocking fallout of the Salling revelation, and Rivera’s working relationship and career trajectory.
On January 16, the first of The Price of Glee’s three parts will air before being made accessible for streaming on Discovery+ the following day. Below, you can read the official description of the upcoming docuseries and watch the trailer.
