"Glee" is dipping back into the Spring Awakening talent pool, and it appears Chord Overstreet’s Sam will be the primary beneficiary.

TVLine has confirmed that Phoebe Strole, who starred alongside Lea Michele and ex-"Glee" guest star Jonathan Groff during Awakening‘s original Broadway run, is joining the Fox dramedy’s Season 5 cast in a recurring role.

Per our sister site Deadline, Strole will Penny Owen, a sophomore in college who wants to get into nursing school and who becomes Sam’s new love interest.



Lea Michele broke the news of Strole’s casting Thursday on Twitter:

"Such amazing news that two of my very best friends are going to be on #Glee this year! @ddlovato & @PhoebeStrole! Thank you @MrRPMurphy! ❤"
