Ben Platt is not exactly jumping at the opportunity to star in a Glee reboot with his longtime bestie Beanie Feldstein.

The Broadway star stopped by the Bravo Clubhouse for Monday night’s (April 15) taping of Watch What Happens Live, where a virtual fan asked him if he thought show creator Ryan Murphy was being serious when he said he would love to do a Glee “do-over” with Platt and Feldstein — and whether there have been any conversations about the potential project.

“He has the most ideas of any person I’ve ever met, so it’s hard to tell which ones are serious,” Platt said.

He continued, “I think that we should leave Glee be because it was so incredible and it’s having its own resurgence as basically a new show again. But anything else he wants to do — with Beanie too — I’m game.”

Murphy previously sparked rumors of a Glee reboot starring the dynamic duo in a 2020 Instagram post explaining his idea for a “new pilot” episode.

“Lea [Michele] and Ben are frenemies who fight for the heart and soul of Glee Club. Ben is also on the football team, and pretty much sleeps with the entire school and is the heartthrob of McKinley,” he wrote, per People. “Beanie is their mutual best friend, and torn. Suddenly, Beanie joins forces with Sue Sylvester, joins Glee Club and becomes the main soloist and the ruthless star of the club. Lea and Ben have to then join forces to dethrone her.”

He added, “I WANT TO SHOOT THIS DO OVER PILOT. Maybe I will?”

While the remake of Glee might not be happening any time soon, Platt and Feldstein do have another project in the works — a film adaptation of Merrily We Roll Along. However, we’re going to be waiting a long time before the movie comes out as they are filming it over the course of the next 18 years.

“The story takes place over 18 years and happens in reverse and you watch kind of a friendship deteriorate. You meet them at their most jaded when they don’t speak anymore and then you go backward in time and see their naive beginnings,” Platt explained on WWHL. “So, the idea is to shoot it in real-time and watch us de-age, which will be incredibly triggering if we make it there.”

Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
