Without sharing specifics, Peacock and Sony Pictures TV, which jointly announced the greenlight on Friday, described the negotiations for Peacock to secure the movie as “heavily competitive.” As part of the deal, Peacock has also acquired non-exclusive rights to the full six-season “Community” library, which can also be found on Netflix and Hulu.
Further details — including a director and an estimated premiere date — have not yet been shared. 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. 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 after Season 4 alienated fans, Harmon — thanks to heavy lobbying by McHale and the rest of the cast – was reinstated.
But that deal ultimately made the first half of the show’s tongue-in-cheek “six seasons and a movie” prophecy come true. That line was first uttered by Abed in “‘Community’ was light years ahead of its time when it premiered on NBC in 2009 and we are thrilled to once again visit the brilliant minds of Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest and this impeccable cast,” said Jason Clodfelter, co-president, Sony Pictures Television Studios .
Talk of a movie has swirled for years — since even before “Community” wrapped. In 2014, before the show’s sixth season even aired on Yahoo! Screen, then-Sony Pictures Television programming president Zack Van Amburg said that a ‘Community’ movie, perhaps directed by either Justin Lin or Anthony Russo and Joe Russo was likely. “I personally have had those conversations,” he said at the time.
Why
Bear down for midterms!
aaaAaaaaaa
so... Halfway through Donald Glover and levarburton come back from their boat trip, right? right?
Thatssonano
Glover seems like an incredibly fickle person so I'm not sure he'll return. It would suck if he didn't. I want the whole cast back or there's no point. That includes Yvette, Chevy and Jim
If there’s no Troy in “Troy and Abed in the Morning” is there a point to living?
I'm about to finish the show so this better not be a joke...
I had to shake my head at the line “light years ahead”
Well. Its time to get peacock.
cool
I want Jeff/Annie to be a 'reality' not a dark timeline or fantasy.
brokensaint YESSSSSS!!!!
Whaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!
OMG!
Really need Shirley and Troy in this.
I'll only believe it when they comment on Troy and Abed in the Morning.
“‘Community’ was light years ahead of its time when it premiered on NBC STREETS AHEAD STREETS AHEAD!!!!

CharlesChikukwa yoooooooooooo!

Finally. And I understand Chase not coming back but if he was game for it, it’s not like it would be hard to write Pierce Hawthorn back into it. His character was eccentric enough it would work.
ugh, is britta in this?
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I need the entire movie to be a paintball episode … this time in the future/space fantasy-sci-fi genre.
Can we have Chevy Chase’s dead, rotting corpse ran over by a bus in the movie?
🇸🇪🇯🇵🇲🇽❤️ 9/30
Please give them at least 3 extras and 2 chairs so it's not as creepy and empty looking as season 6.
Is Chevy Chase going to be in it? TV show movies always end up being bad but I will watch if Chase is going to be in it.
About damn time!
AliNRehmani bro!!!
if Dan Harmon is writing the script (and it should be him so we don't have a 'gas leak' film) I hope it doesn't take 10 years to finish.
cool, cool cool cool.
nomeacuerdo helloJoyce_ SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!
