It's a good day for "Glee" fans: FOX has released bunch of shiny new photos from the Season 4 premiere, titled "The New Rachel," along with some gallery shots of new cast members Marley (Melissa Benoist), Jake (Jacob Artist), Brody (Dean Geyer) and Cheerio Kitty (Becca Tobin).

You can also see guest stars Kate Hudson and "Glee Project" winner Alex Newell in action in the new premiere photos.

Portraits of the Glee vets also in the gallery set include Will (Matthew Morrison), Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), Rachel (Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Artie (Kevin McHale), Blaine (Darren Criss), Brittany (Heather Morris), Sam (Chord Overstreet), Santana (Naya Rivera), Mercedes (Amber Riley), Mike (Harry Shum Jr.) and Puck (Mark Salling).

But Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Emma (Jayma Mays) are still MIA. Hmmm.
