LOS ANGELES, CA – “Community” fans have been eagerly awaiting the movie adaptation of the beloved TV show, and creator Dan Harmon is finally making progress towards fulfilling that promise. The film, which is set to stream on NBCU’s Peacock platform, is inching closer to completion as Harmon and co-writer Andrew Guest work on the script.
Following Donald Glover’s recent statement that the script is already finished, Harmon clarified that while it’s not quite done, it’s “almost done.” The movie, set on the campus of Greendale Community College, will bring back original cast members including Glover, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Joel McHale, Ken Jeong, Danny Pudi, and Jim Rash, fulfilling the show’s infamous “Six Seasons and a Movie” prophecy.
Harmon admitted that the writing process has been emotionally taxing, causing what he described as “good” nervous breakdowns that made him “cry” when thinking about the show and its characters. This level of emotional investment indicates the care and detail being put into the creation of the much-anticipated film.
Peacock and Sony Pictures TV have described the negotiations to secure the movie as “heavily competitive,” and as part of the deal, Peacock has acquired non-exclusive rights to the full six-season “Community” library. With the film’s production underway, fans can finally look forward to seeing the beloved characters back on screen.
The movie’s announcement has ignited a passionate fan movement, emphasizing the impact the show had on its audience. It’s not just about closing the chapter on the show, but also about celebrating the legacy and impact “Community” has had on its dedicated fanbase over the years.
With the original cast members returning and a dedicated creative team behind the production, the “Community” movie is poised to capture the essence of the beloved series and provide fans with a fitting end to the show’s legacy.
