"This is going to be my last season," Mays revealed.

Mays also appeared reluctant to comment on the departures of Mark Salling, Harry Shum Jr, Amber Riley and Heather Morris from Glee's main cast.

"I'm finishing up this season, so I'm not sure what direction and who's coming on and who's not," she said.

The star added that she would "love to" return to Glee for guest appearances after her departure.

Mays will be starring with Will Arnett, Margo Martindale and Beau Bridges in The Millers, a comedy about a family coping with divorce.

Glee is facing a significant transition in the coming season, with Blake Jenner, Alex Newell, Becca Tobin and Jacob Artist being added as series regulars.

Former American Idol star Adam Lambert is also joining the Fox series this fall.

Glee star Cory Monteith was recently found dead in Vancouver, drawing tributes from co-stars Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Naya Rivera and Dianna Agron.

Glee returns on September 26 on Fox in the US, and airs on Sky1 in the UK.
