"Glee" premiered on Fox in May 2009 and helped launch the careers of the show's young stars, like Lea Michele (who portrayed Rachel Berry).
The show lasted for six seasons before ending in 2015.
Since then, the cast members have gone on to get married, write books, and release solo music.

"Glee" lasted for six seasons on Fox and focused on the misfit students at McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, who found a common interest in a glee club led by Will Schuester (portrayed by Matthew Morrison).

From its start in May 2009 to its conclusion in 2015, the award-winning show featured tons of musical numbers and teenage drama, in addition to the rivalry between Mr. Schuester and Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch). At the height of the show's popularity, Lea Michele (Rachel Berry), Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson), Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel), and the other young cast members became breakout stars.

Here's what the stars of "Glee" have been up to.
