Facing a long, hot summer will be hard on all the Gleeks, with the first season coming to an end and no new “Glee” episodes to watch.

However, rabid fans of the show are in luck. Here’s an inside scoop on what we can expect to see next year.

Co-creator Ryan Murphy said, we are plotting the show’s first 11 episodes. The first six we know already. They will be moving and big fun episodes. We go back always to the idea of how our society feels and treats funding the arts. The answer is always not too good.

Here are a few other things that Murphy says we can expect to see in the second season of “Glee”:

* More musical tributes- Our Madonna episode was incredibly popular. I think we will be doing two tribute episodes- one in fall and then one in spring. We are still figuring out which artists they will be.

* New characters- Murphy already slipped up and said Susan Boyle may be making an appearance. However the producers also are looking to add new members onto the Glee club, including getting Kurt a boyfriend.

Murphy said, I just want the character to be the average every day guy. I want him to be having struggles with his sexuality. Then Kurt helps him cope and during the process they end up falling for each other.

Another thing to look for is Mercedes getting a love interest as well as a Carrie Underwood-like Christian country singer as a rival of Rachel’s.

When people hear about us doing that they think we will be making fun of Carrie, Murphy said. We aren’t. Our show is inclusive and gives lots of people voices.

* Major season finale- Season two will end with in New York at Nationals. We don’t know if they are going to make it. That hasn’t been figure out yet.
