Glee and Sons Of Anarchy are more similar than people might think, as the creative team behind the two are intertwined. Paris Barclay is a director on both shows, and Katey Sagal, star of Sons has also appear on Glee, where she played Artie's mom.
Details on Lea's character have also emerged. A rep for the network told E! News that Michel will play Gertie, "an empathetic truck shop waitress and single mother, who connects with Gemma during a difficult time."
It looks like this season is shaping up to be the season of the guest star as Sutter teased before Sons of Anarchy's Comic-Con panel, a few names of the actors looking to jump on their bikes and head to the series.
Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, and Walton Goggins, will all be joining Michele during the seventh season of the series. Love is gearing up to play Ms. Harrison a preschool teacher, while Manson will play Ron Tully, who is a white supremacist that meets Jax (Charlie Hunnam's) character in jail.
The final season of the biker drama will premiere on September 9 at 10 pm on FX.
