That whoop of joy you hear this morning followed by ebullient singing comes from Gleeks everywhere.

Fox has announced that it has renewed musical dramedy Glee for a second season.

What’s more, the show is launching a casting search in February to fill three new roles for the sophomore year.

The auditions will be open to amateurs and pros aged between 16 and 26 years old. If you want in on the action, you’ll have to submit your audition online.

Fox says it will release more details on the casting call soon.

The last new episode of Glee aired Dec. 9, and a brutal four-month wait means fans will only be able to see new episodes come April 13.

Glee will air Tuesdays, 9 p.m. ET, on Global/Fox.
