"I hope I'm back for Glee's final season as well," Leakes said in June. "We've been talking back and forth, I'm hoping to be back. I've done it for three seasons. I'm happy to go there, I love the cast, I love Ryan Murphy, I'm happy to go back."
Coach Roz was last seen in the Season 5 episode City of Angels having returned from coaching the Cheerios to a first place victory at Nationals. She gloated to Principal Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) about her win and was last seen leaving for Saint-Tropez to celebrate her big win.
Leakes is one of many cast members who are returning for the final season of Glee. In addition to main characters like Rachel (Lea Michele), Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss), many of the former glee club characters will be back, including Quinn (Dianna Agron), Mercedes (Amber Riley), Puck (Mark Salling), Brittany (Heather Morris) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz).
Glee is expected to return for its final season in early 2015 on Fox, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
