The series will continue airing Friday nights, culminating in a special two-hour series finale March 20 at 8 PM ET.
The final season of the long-running program is described as such: "New Directions’ original star, Rachel Berry (Golden Globe Award nominee Lea Michele), comes home to Lima, after her humiliating failure as a TV actress, and discovers that Sue Sylvester (Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch) has banished the arts at McKinley."
Throughout its closing season, McKinley alumnae will return to say goodbye to the award-winning musical comedy.
