Glee fans, rejoice! FOX’s new critically-acclaimed musical comedy became the first show this fall to get a full 13-episode season order.

“It’s fantastic to be the first show picked up, and that this underdog series, like its characters, will get the chance to keep singing. There are so many more stories to tell,” series creator Ryan Murphy said in a statement Monday.

The response to Glee has been “remarkable,” FOX President of Entertainment Kevin Reilly added. “I’ve seen all 13 episodes and … they’ve knocked our socks off.”

The uplifting series follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to reinvent the high school’s glee club and challenging the group of outcasts to realize their star potential.

The freshman comedy — marked by biting humor — premiered to Fox’s highest numbers for a new scripted show in three years. A total 7.3 million viewers watched the first episode earlier this month, which won its Wednesday time slot in the adults 18-49 demographic.
