"Glee" season 5 will be premiering tonight on Fox at 9 p.m. ET.

The season premiere of the hit musical drama will likely be a reminder of the loss of Cory Monteith, whose sudden death this summer shocked fans.

The season will kick off with two episodes based on Beatles, and a tribute will be aired for Cory Monteith in episode 3, titled "The Quarterback."

A sneak peak trailer of the memorial episode released last month shows the grief of the cast. The clip shows Lea Michele (Rachel), dressed in black and grieving. Monteith's character Finn Hudson had to be written out of the show following his death, and the memorial episode will show the loss of his character.

Monteith, 31, tragically died on July 13, 2013, after a toxic combination of heroin and alcohol. Lea Michele was Monteith's on and off screen girlfriend.

After episode 3, the writers of Glee will reportedly take a hiatus to re-focus after the loss of Cory Monteith. The show will return November 7.

The season premiere episode is titled "Love, love, love." It will kick off from where season 4 left off, following the kids of New Directions taking on the Beatles. Kittie and Artie will be singing the Beatles' hit "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away."

Demi Lovato will be featured this season, starring alongside Naya Rivera.

Season 5 will say good bye to series regulars Amber Riley, Mark Sailing and Harry Shum Jr. However, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert will be joining the show.

"Glee" revolves around the William McKinley High School glee club, New Directions.
