Renewal
Due to popularity, the series Asylum was officially renewed for a 24-episode season on April 19th, 2014. Characters were slowly written in, including the introduction of new character Tina Cohen-Chang, who was greatly requested during the writing of the first Part. Character Rachel Berry was granted an elevated role after being in the background during Part One, as were Mercedes Jones and Finn Hudson. Quinn Fabray, Santana Lopez and Brittany Pierce, who exited the series after being released from the Asylum, return for a minimal amount of episodes, some detailing their lives after they get out.

Cancellation
The series was not renewed despite receiving higher ratings and popularity than previous seasons. It was attributed mostly to the fact that the original show runner was rumoured to have started on a new series, which has since been confirmed to be true.
