Graduation Date: Several Big Stars to Leave GLEE
Producer Ryan Murphy confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Chris Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are leaving the show after season three.

Murphy tells THR: "You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.”

Chris Colfer: It's not my choice to leave GLEE, but it's the right thing to do
I think the overall breaking news of it surprised me," Colfer said this morning, as he reacted to his 2nd Emmy nomination. "I definitely wasn't expecting that. It's definitely not my choice to leave the show, but I understand it’s the right choice. The show is very real. To have the character grow up and leave and graduate, it’s the right thing to do. I think it’s more of a big deal because not too many shows have ever done it before. We see the characters until they’re in their early 30s."
