The Fox drama is set to wrap up its six-year run with a 13-episode final season, which will kick off at midseason, and will once again find Rachel (Lea Michele) as an underdog after failing to make it as an actress in New York. So long, Big Apple; hello, Lima!

Fox has just revealed some pretty major details about

\'s swan song, including why Rachel is back in Ohio, who\'s a series regular (and who\'s not!) and who we might see return for one final goodbye.

Here\'s everything you need to know about the final seasn of

1. Here\'s the main cast for the final season, per Fox: Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Dot-Marie Jones, Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale Matthew Morrison, Chord Overstreet and Amber Riley. Yes, it looks like Mercedes is back with us on a full-time basis! Missing from the list is original cast member Jenna Ushkowitz.

3. Rachel is the new Mr. Schuester (Morrison) as she returns to Lima after failing as a TV actress. Struggling  with her next move, Rachel decides to reinstate and lead the glee club at McKinley after discovering that Sue has banished the arts at the school. (Classic Sue!)

gay." Rounding out the glee club will be the 

unconventionally pretty and drily funny Jane, who joins New Directions after she\'s turned away by the Warblers, and the shy and chubby Roderic, the show\'s new underdog who has a voice like Otis Redding.
