As "Glee" season 5 gears up for its epic return, some interesting spoilers and casting news have surfaced.

First, it appears as "Glee" winds down its series run with season 5 and the final season 6, one actor who desperately wants to return one last time is Jonathan Groff.

As fans remember, the "Looking" star played opposite close friend Lea Michele as Jesse St. James, the rival glee club member from Vocal Adrenaline.

"The clock is ticking," says Groff to E! Online. "I hope so. I have no idea, [but] I would love to go back. I would love to."

Given that he's just begun his own series on HBO, perhaps "Glee" season 6 would be a better time for him to return.

Will Jesse St. James capture Rachel's heart now that Finn is dead?

Meanwhile, spoilers confirm that as "Glee" season 5 prepares to move to New York fulltime, a lot of casting is underway—stereotypical ones that is.

Reportedly, "Glee" season 5 will soon pay homage to your most stereotypical New Yorkers, like the obese subway rider, the shady man on crutches, and young hot models.

Are these parts simply extras? Are they a part of a musical number? Stay tuned to find out!

And while this is not exactly spoilers for "Glee" season 5, the cast has been raising awareness for the Family Equality Council and should be commended for their efforts.

Over the weekend, cast members from shows like "Glee," "The Fosters," and Scandal" joined the Family Equality Council for the annual Los Angeles Awards Dinner.

There, "Glee" cast members like Darren Criss, Amber Riley, and Adam Lambert sang songs as they do best for the event.
