Will “Community” fans finally get their “six seasons and a movie”?
Director Joe Russo and former “Community” star Joel McHale have both suggested in recent weeks that a movie — long-awaited by the show’s fans — could finally happen.
The Russo brothers worked together on “Community” before moving on to Marvel and “Avengers: Endgame.” Joe Russo suggested in an interview with Collider that he would be open to returning to the cult hit for a movie.
“We’d certainly be willing to do it,” Russo told Collider. “We love our ‘Community’ family. That cast, we’re all still very close to all of them.”
“Community” recently began streaming on Netflix, which might open new possibilities for the show, Russo said.
“It’d certainly be schedule-depending for us,” Russo told Collider. “But I believe there will be a ‘Community’ movie, especially now that it’s doing so well on streaming. Someone like Netflix could step up and make that movie.”
“Community” aired on NBC from 2009 to 2014, then moved to Yahoo Screen in 2016 for its sixth and final season, according to Vox.
“Six seasons and a movie” became a mantra for many of the show’s fans.
The show starred, among others, McHale, Alison Brie and Donald Glover just before he became a major star, according to Vox.
McHale, who recently who recently hosted “The Tiger King and I” special for Netflix, told Variety last week that “there’s a better chance than there’s ever been” for a “Community” movie.
“For a long time I was like, ‘never gonna happen,’” McHale told Variety. “And now I think with the renewed interest, and I know the cast is interested, that it could happen.”
