A 'Community' Movie Is Coming To Peacock (Vanity Fair)

Class is back in session for Dan Harmon's beloved NBC comedy, whose #sixseasonsandamovie campaign finally seems to have borne fruit.

[near the end](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2014/05/community-canceled) of the beloved comedy's run on NBC, with the hashtag #sixseasonsandamovie. [Chevy Chase](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/11/home-alone-anniversary-chevy-chase), who played Pierce and left during the fourth season and was killed off during the fifth season, will return for the film. In 2020, the full [Community cast reunited](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/05/community-show-reunion) for a virtual table read to raise money for coronavirus relief efforts. While Glover and Brown were not mentioned in the film's official release, McHale tagged them both in [a tweet](https://twitter.com/joelmchale/status/1575852929415671808) announcing the project. As of now, it's unclear whether longtime series regulars Donald Glover, who played Troy and left during the series' fifth season, Yvette-Nicole Brown, who played Shirley and left at the end of the fifth season, or Sony Pictures Television and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, will serve as the studio.

'Community' Movie Announced With Peacock (Forbes)

McHale's tweet also tagged Allison Brie, Ken Jeong, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Donald Glover, Gillian Anderson, Peacock, Sony TV, and the show's Twitter.

“This franchise is the very definition of community,” added Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television. We are grateful to Peacock, our partners at UTV and to all the zealous fans who have cherished this iconic show,” said Jason Clodfelter, Co-President, Sony Pictures Television Studios “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.” A Community movie has been a topic of conversation by fans of the cult hit for years. McHale is set to come back for the movie as well as exec produce. Gillian Jacobs was a part of the original cast.

Community Movie: Which Cast Members Will Return? (Den of Geek)

Streets ahead! The Community movie is now confirmed but will Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, or "The Chevy That Shall Not Be Named" return for it?

If Troy, Shirley, and other other tertiary Community characters are indeed involved in the film, we likely won’t find out officially until closer to the movie’s release date (which is still TBD). In announcing the news of the film, Peacock also confirmed that a significant chunk of the cast will be returning. While raising one’s hand during a Zoom call is not a legally-binding contract, it is a good sign that Harmon would wait until everyone was actually ready to commit before pulling the trigger on a film. Certainly, a Community movie will make every effort to incorporate as many characters as possible (also likely including background faces like Star-Burns, Magnitude, and Vicki). [As recently as 2020](https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/community-movie-peacock-dan-harmon-joel-mchale-1235389233/), Harmon revealed that he was actively working on an outline for the script. This is something that fans have been waiting for ever since Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) uttered the now-prophetic line in season 2’s “Paradigms of Human Memory.”

'Community' Finally Fulfills the Six Seasons and a Movie Prophecy (GQ Magazine)

Sure, the show managed the six-seasons part of Abed's prophecy (originally meant for the NBC superhero drama The Cape, which managed one season and zero movies) ...

This last award is an apt action-packed legacy for a show whose list of directors includes the Avengers’s Russo Brothers and Fast and the Furious’ Justin Lin. (Though it has a very different look and a darker comedic sensibility, it’s worth noting that the Yahoo season—led once again by Harmon, who was gone for season four—is very much worth watching if you skipped it, as many fans did.) [worked hard to save the show](https://www.insider.com/fans-saved-tv-show-2018-6#community-found-a-new-home-thanks-to-yahoo-after-nbc-canceled-the-series-14) after it was first canceled in 2014. When the season six finale aired, Community had neither been renewed nor canceled, and what ended up being the series finale played with that sense of uncertainty. The phrase “Six seasons and a movie” has long been a bittersweet one for fans of the cult sitcom Community. There’s no clear sense of what the plot will be, although, during May’s charity table read, [Glover floated the idea](https://screenrant.com/community-movie-story-details-prediction/) of a story around what happened to his character Troy–he leaves Greendale to sail around the world with actor LeVar Burton–that was enthusiastically received by Harmon.

Here's everything we know about the just-announced 'Community' movie coming to Peacock.

So yes, a Community movie is confirmed, but it looks like you’ll have to watch it on Peacock. That’s particularly surprising for Brown and Glover, who both left the show before it officially ended to pursue other opportunities. But like so many aspects of the beloved sitcom created by [Dan Harmon](https://www.inverse.com/article/36696-rick-and-morty-season-3-female-writers-harassment-dan-harmon), “Six seasons and a movie” went on to become much more. In response, the streaming platform shared this: You may have noticed that among the accounts McHale tagged with his tweet is the official one for Peacock. Ken Jeong (who plays Ben Chang) also tweeted the same image.

Six seasons and a movie! Sony and Universal TV strike a deal with Peacock for the new 'Community" movie, which comes from Dan Harmon and most of the show's ...

By the end of Season 6 (and after a total of 110 episodes), “Community” had wrapped for good — as had Yahoo! Of course, since the show ended its run, “Community” cast members have all moved on to other critically acclaimed projects. That line was first uttered by Abed (Pudi) in the Season 2 episode “Paradigms of Human Memory.” It was good for “Community” — but not so much for Yahoo!, which realized its investment far exceeded any revenue coming out of the show. Added Universal TV president Erin Underhill: “This franchise is the very definition of community. (“Community” ran on NBC for five of the show’s six seasons, and Universal TV served as one of the show’s production companies, with studio lead Sony .) After Season 3, NBC and Sony, worried that “Community” hadn’t drawn enough of a mainstream audience, fired Harmon and brought in new executive producers. But that wasn’t the end of the line. Still, after years of dancing around cancellation, NBC finally pulled the plug on “Community” at the end of its fifth season. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.” Also unanswered is whether other key “Community” cast members, including Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover, might still make an appearance — or at least a cameo. Sony Pictures TV and Universal Studio Group’s Universal Television shingle are the studios on the show.

The search for Troy would make him a major part of the Community movie without Glover having to commit to a packed filming schedule. Donald Glover has certainly appeared open to a return, stating his interest in a Community movie during an online table read to raise money for COVID-19 relief. Having previously spoken about what a Community movie may entail, both Dan Harmon and Donald Glover have spoken of a search for Troy, who was last seen setting sail with Star Trek actor LeVar Burton in season 5, episode 5, "Geothermal Escapism".
