The hard work also comes with a bonus. “Of course, there’s pressure on the new season,” Monteith says. “But the show requires so much of us that it becomes a wonderful place to hide. It limits our exposure to the hype. I think this whole experience would be a lot more difficult if I had more free time.”

Stoltz, who also directed an episode of Murphy’s previous series, Nip/Tuck, has another theory about that. “Remember the Viking ships that would chain the slaves at the bottom to row the galleys? These kids have been chained together for a couple of years and I think they’ve got Stockholm syndrome. They’re in love with their captors.”

On the other hand, he also understands them. “We were shooting a mash-up of ‘Get Happy’ and ‘Happy Days Are Here Again,’ and I got chills, which is rare for me because I’ve been around a long time,” he says. “But when it does happen, I mean, it’s what we live for.” — TVGuide.com
