Glee's fourth season was teased at Comic-Con as executive producers Brad Falchuk, Ian Brennan and Dante Di Loreto were joined by stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Naya Rivera, Darren Criss, Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz to take questions from fans.

Falchuk spoke during a Glee pre panel press junke. "High school is all about firsts and we want them to have new firsts now: your first love out of high school, your first big breakup, your big breakup and reconciliation, there's a lot to it."

Of note, Glee Project Season 1 co-winner Damian McGinty is not returning, Falchuk told reporters. "Damian is not back this year."

Kurt is still in Ohio and will help Will (Matthew Morrison) cast for New Directions, Falchuk noted Kurt's ability to handle bullying and issues with diversity will be highlighted.

Kate Hudson will portray Rachel's teacher at NYADA.

Finn's future on the show is to be determined.

Glee's fourth season premieres Thursday, Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
