Just hours before the casts’ contracts expired, Yahoo! made the announcement that they would be the ones helping Community on its way to gaining #SixSeasonsAndAMovie, resurrecting the show for its sixth season. They’ve ordered a 13-episode run to be aired this autumn on Yahoo! Screen.
Just hours before the casts’ contracts expired, Yahoo! made the announcement that they would be the ones helping Community on its way to gaining #SixSeasonsAndAMovie, resurrecting the show for its sixth season. They’ve ordered a 13-episode run to be aired this autumn on Yahoo! Screen.
The main cast will be returning for season six, although it’s as of yet unknown whether that will include Donald Glover. Glover only appeared in half of season five, instead choosing to focus on his music career as Childish Bambino. Executive producers Chris McKenna, Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster will also be back, along with series creator and showrunner Dan Harmon.
Harmon, infamously removed from the show for season four and reinstated for the fifth season, had this to say: "I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo. I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!"
Following NBC’s cancellation of Community in May, Sony attempted to come to an agreement with streaming service Hulu. Talks stalled, and that seemed to be it for the Greendale crew until Yahoo!’s announcement. The acquisition of Community sees a continuation of Yahoo!’s move into original programming, following on from comedy Burning Love.
