Having aired its two-part Beatles tribute, 'Glee' season 5 will next tackle the difficult subject of addressing Cory Monteith's tragic death in next week's "Farewell to Finn" tribute, "The Quarterback." The first footage of the somber new episode has emerged, along with new comments from series creator Ryan Murphy on filming of the difficult episode.

'Glee' star Cory Monteith died in July at the age of 31, due to a drug overdose. The final coroner's report has been released, revealing that the star, who had checked into rehab in the spring to deal with his issues, was shooting heroin and drinking champagne in a Canadian hotel room on the night of his death. It turned out to be a fatal cocktail.

After weeks of skirting promos and press releases, 'Glee' season 5 has opened up for a full trailer of its forthcoming September 26 premiere "Love, Love, Love," chock full of Beatles tribute numbers, and little else. The gang is all smiles and songs in the first real run of footage from season 5, but how long until the bottom drops out?

Lea Michele was understandably devastated by the death of 'Glee' costar and boyfriend Cory Monteith. Out of both respect for her and the late actor, all decisions about a tribute episode for Monteith were approved by Michele. Within the tribute episode, Michele and her character, Rachel Berry, paid their own tribute to Monteith -- by wearing a 'Finn' necklace. Quick, grab your Kleenex!

More information has emerged on how 'Glee' will be saying goodbye to the late Cory Monteith and his beloved character on the show, Finn Hudson.

The Teen Choice Awards ceremony isn't typically known for its poignant moments, but on Sunday night, Aug. 11, Lea Michele brought the house (and a lot of viewers) to tears when she dedicated her surfboard to the late Cory Monteith.

Glee won't be the same this year, and we all know it. Without Cory Monteith and his character, Finn Hudson, things simply won't be the same. Here's just a quick look back at some of my favorite moments with Finn from Glee.

The 'Glee' writers have a tough job ahead deciding on how to cover the death of breakout star Cory Monteith, especially since Monteith died suddenly and tragically from a drug overdose. However, his on and offscreen love, Lea Michele, is helping the staff to portray the loss both honestly and sensitively.

'Glee' has officially resumed production on its fifth and potentially penultimate season, though only three episodes will shoot before a brief hiatus to retool following series star Cory Monteith's death. The first look at the new season has arrived from Lea Michele herself, while Adam Lambert's upcoming arc has finally been revealed as well.

'Glee' won't be the same without Cory Monteith -- not for the fans, not for the crew and certainly not for the cast. The cast braced themselves for a possibly painful return to the Fox hit's set following Monteith's untimely passing. Though there's still a lot of sadness, the group are tight knit and getting back to work.
