Chace Crawford has a simple answer for Glee fans hoping for a reboot: he doesn't know what to expect either.

The Boys star, who appeared in the 100th episode of the Fox musical series, told Collider at FanX in Salt Lake City that he has no specific vision for Ryan Murphy's planned return to the show.

"I don't know, actually," Crawford said when asked what he would like to see from the reboot.

He explained that his appearance on the original series came from a personal connection. "I was friends with Ryan and he asked me to come in and do the 100th episode," Crawford said. "I just remember they did a bunch of journey stuff that I loved."

Crawford suggested the reboot could include pop songs like "Happy" by Pharrell Williams or current hits from Sabrina Carpenter.

"They could probably do that song 'Happy.' I could see them doing that. I have no idea, though," he said. "They'd probably be doing Sabrina Carpenter songs, right? I'm not too steeped into all that, but that's good."

Murphy announced a few weeks ago that he had finished writing the script for a Glee reboot and had spoken to some original cast members about returning, but nothing concrete is in development yet beyond the script, Collider reported.

The original series aired on Fox for six seasons across seven years, with 121 episodes total. Only five stars appeared in every episode: Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel, Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester, Kevin McHale as Arti Abrams, Lea Michele as Rachel Berry, and Matthew Morrison as Will Schuester. Other actors who appeared in over 100 episodes include Naya Rivera as Santana Lopez, Jenna Ushkowitz as Tina Cohen-Chang, and Amber Riley as Mercedes Jones.
