The third season of Glee, the smash-hit, award-winning musical comedy returns to our screens exclusively to Sky 1 HD from Thursday 22 September, airing just days after its US broadcast.

This season, Will sets about on a recruitment drive - charging the kids with helping to bolster the club's dwindling enrollment, but soon discovers he may need to break his own rules in order to achieve his objective.

Hampering his musical ambitions at every turn is nemesis, Sue Sylvester, who this season takes her anti-Glee campaign to a whole new level, as she runs for Congress on a 'no arts' platform - to put a stop to glee clubs nationwide.

The aspiring stars of New Directions returning for a new term include Rachel and Kurt who, inspired by their Broadway experience, set their sights on colleges, only to discover they aren't as uniquely talented as they had always assumed.

Finn is still finding himself the target of Slushee facials compliments of the school's hockey team and Quinn quits the Glee Club and falls in with a considerably darker crowd.

Diva Mercedes, will start the new term with a new love interest in the shape of Marcus, a McKinley Titans' linebacker. Brittany and Santana return to the Cheerios, with Santana discovering she has a new and surprising adversary in the form of Becky Johnson.

Keep an eye out for some new recruits this season too, fresh from Sky's The Glee Project.
