Actor Chord Overstreet is set to make a triumphant return to hit TV show Glee, just months after quitting the series.

Overstreet, who got his big break playing hunky high school student Sam Evans on the popular program, left the series earlier this year (11) to pursue a career in music.

However the actor is now set to reprise his role and appear in a multi-episode run during Glee's third season, which is currently on hiatus until 1 November (11).

Overstreet's storyline has not yet been determined but a production source tells TVLine.com, "We missed Chord and Chord missed us. It's a win-win."
