FOX entertainment president Kevin Reilly told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday that Parker has signed on for a six-episode arc on the musical series, while Hudson will also be appearing in a number of episodes.
Details on the stars' characters are not yet available.
Last summer, Glee creator Ryan Murphy stirred up controversy when he announced that McKinley High School's graduating seniors - Lea Michele's Rachel Berry, Chris Colfer's Kurt Hummel and Cory Monteith's Finn Hudson - would not be returning to the series.
But apparently, that idea has been amended. Reilly explains that the fourth season of the show will assume a "show within a show" format with the seniors heading to a performing arts school in New York City.
Meanwhile, the show will still follow the New Directions glee club at McKinley High, with several new characters filling in the thinned-out ranks.
"Glee is really positioned for a strong year," Reilly said.
In its first three seasons, Glee has gained a reputation for casting high-profile guest stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, John Stamos, Idina Menzel and Ricky Martin. Most recently, Lindsay Lohan appeared in the season finale.
