Discovery+ has ordered a three-part docuseries that will explore the slew of tragedies and controversies that reportedly occurred on the set of Glee.

The yet-to-be-named docuseries is being made by Ample Entertainment, and will feature interviews with cast members and crew to uncover much of its behind-the-scenes drama. While it will talk about the highs and lows of making the FOX show, one of the topics that will be brought up is Lea Michele's alleged on-set bullying.

The documentary will also touch on the passing of Cory Monteith, who died of an accidental heroin overdose in 2013. Since the show's finale, cast members Naya Rivera and Mark Salling have also passed away — the latter of whom died by suicide after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

It's unclear if any post-production timelines will be covered, so there's no telling whether or not Michele's Funny Girl drama (or the wild accusations that she can't read) will make the cut. Let's just hope Darren Criss and Steve Aoki's cursed Dave Matthews Band cover is kept out of this whole mess. 

And that's what you missed on Glee.
