Get ready for some Gleatlemania! The Glee cast introduces The Beatles’ legacy to a new generation with the album release of Glee Sings The Beatles on Monday, September 30 (physical release 7th Oct). Glee Sings The Beatles includes 14 songs from the first two episodes of Glee’s fifth season, which will premiere on Friday, October 4 (8:00-9:00 PM) on SKY1.

On the all-new “Love, Love, Love” premiere episode airing Friday, October 4, the New Directions are back in action and take on their biggest assignment yet: The Beatles! As Will enlists the kids to pay homage to the classic song catalog from the Fab Four, Blaine and Kurt attempt to answer questions about their future together. Meanwhile, Rachel’s New York ambitions take an unexpected turn.
Beatlemania continues at McKinley with the “Tina in the Sky with Diamonds” episode airing Friday, October 11 (8:00-9:00 PM).
