David Permut is producing with Rob Aguire and Mia Chang. Colfer and his manager Glenn Rigberg are executive producers with Jason Michael Berman.
Colfer who recently announced he will graduate from Glee next season is a busy guy, having recently written a pilot for Disney Channel, The Little Leftover Witch, based on the children's book and will also publish two (2) books with Little, Brown Books for Young Readers that will be released in summer 2012.
Congratulations are also in order as both Colfer and Hendricks received 2011 Emmy nominations for their amazing work on Glee and Mad Men. Respectfully.
