The announcement comes after the series was initially left off of studio 20th Television's initial lineup and after the series made headlines last year when showrunners dispelled a THR report that stars Michele, Monteith and Chris Colfer would not be departing the series -- only to see co-creator Ryan Murphy confirm initial story days after the fan convention.

Glee's 2012 Comic-Con panel will also see the series move from last year's home on Sunday morning in Hall H to Saturday, July 14 from 6-7 p.m. in the much-smaller Indigo Room at the nearby Hilton, which seats about 1,700.

"The fans at Comic-Con were among the first to really get behind our show, and we’ve had such a great time returning there every summer," said Glee co-creator/executive producer Brad Falchuk. "This was the first year our cast has not gone out on tour, so Ryan and I thought we’d let them have some well-deserved time off. But everyone wanted to be there, and we couldn’t be happier to report that Glee is returning to the convention where we feel it all started."
