Community fans just got the best news ever. Joel McHale confirmed on Sept. 30 that a Community movie is happening, seven years after the beloved sitcom went off the air after six seasons. The show’s official Twitter wrote, “six seasons…,” and then Joel tweeted, “AND A MOVIE,” which is a reference to the full “six seasons and a movie” line that’s said in the show’s early seasons. Variety confirmed that the Community movie will stream on Peacock.

Joel is returning for the film alongside former co-stars Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong, according to Variety. It’s unclear if Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover are also returning, though Joel did tag both of them in his tweet when he announced the big news. Creator Dan Harmon is executive producing and writing the movie with Andrew Guest. Joel is also an executive producer alongside Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster.
Peacock and Sony Pictures TV secured the rights to the Community movie after “heavily competitive” negotiations, per Variety. Peacock has also secured non-exclusive rights to the full six seasons of Community, which are currently available on both Hulu and Netflix.
