A new Christmas single, a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" that won't appear on the show, will also be released. A cast tour is reportedly in the works for summer 2010.

And, the mag reported, solo albums for the series' stars could be in the works as well.

"Lea [Michele] has tried different songs and already thought, 'Maybe I like doing rock,'" "Glee" showrunner Ryan Murphy told the mag. "Her album is not going to be Broadway stuff. She'll sit with producers and come up with her own concept."

And Lea herself said she's not sure if her co-stars have plans for their own solo discs, but there's one she can't wait to hear.

"I have no idea, but all I know is that as soon as Amber Riley [who plays Mercedes] makes her album, I'm going to be the first one buying it," Lea said.
