"I think it would be really fun," Lynch said of putting her signature tracksuit back on.

It's been more than nine years since Jane Lynch played cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on an episode of TV's Glee, and she'd still "absolutely" go back.

"It would be so much fun," the Only Murders in the Building star told People in an interview this week.

Lynch won an Emmy for the role of the tracksuit-clad, caustic cheerleading coach in 2010, and she was nominated twice more.

"It's a great character, and I think that, as she ages, 10 years older than the finale, I think there are other things to be added," Lynch continued. "I think it would be really fun to play Sue Sylvester 10 years later."

She would expect Sylvester to be as cranky as ever and "totally un-woke": "She would knock that s--- down."

Lynch notes that there's still a place for the McKinley High crew, even though they've graduated. Even Sylvester had left, having become vice president of the United States.

"The stuff that came out of my mouth — the crazy stuff — [Donald] Trump said it," Lynch said.

The show "is a big deal," Lynch said. "The character was a big deal. All the characters were a big deal. It kind of hit the psyche of America. And it still lives, which is really nice."

She's not the only person from the show to leave open the possibility of further adventures of the Glee gang.

In January, the show's cocreator Brad Falchuk wouldn't rule out some kind of revival.

"I'm sure everything is always on the table," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "But is there a way to tell that story in a more modern way?"

Falchuk, who also wrote and produced the show, elaborated: "So much of what Glee was about was really this transition from an old way of looking at representation to a new way. I'd never say no, but I wonder what the point would be — except it'd be a moneymaker."

The phenomenally popular Fox show, which followed the adventures of a high school glee club, was a smash in the ratings and on the music charts, where the tunes covered in the musical show regularly appeared.

Ryan Murphy, another cocreator, has endorsed the idea of a revival, too.

"Part of me feels like, well, wouldn't it be great to do another run of that show and do a lot of other songs and pay tribute to things?" he asked foprmer cast members Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz on their podcast about Glee, called And That's What You REALLY Missed. "How fun would that be?”
