E4 is to broadcast a sneak peek of Glee next month, DS can reveal.
The tactic mirrors that used by Fox to launch the series in the US earlier this year. The network premiered the pilot episode in May off the back of the American Idol finale, ahead of the launch proper in September.
The show - from Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy - follows a group of kids participating in their high school glee club.
"Glee has become a TV phenomenon in the US," an E4 spokesperson told DS. "A unique and ambitious show, it is generating a huge amount of buzz and already British viewers are clamouring to find out what all the fuss is about. So as an early Christmas present to all the British 'Gleeks' and as a sneak preview for all the uninitiated, E4 will broadcast the first episode in December ahead of the series launch in January."
The first episode of Glee will air mid December on E4.
