Following the news of a “Community” movie currently in the works at Peacock and Sony Pictures TV, the lack of both original cast members Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown from the cast list was met with understandable concern.
Then at New York Comic Con, creator Dan Harmon hinted that they could be back and suggested it was mostly just an issue of the deals not being set by the time of the announcement.
More recently, Harmon gave a keynote conversation at Variety’s Business Managers Breakfast and reportedly seemed pretty firm that at least Glover seems to be onboard now:
“For lack of a better word, there was a ball fumbled… [Glover] is down to clown. Man, I would not want to think about making [the movie] without Donald.”
Glover left the show partway through its fifth season to pursue creative endeavours. He reunited with the cast for a virtual charity table read of a fifth season at the beginning of the pandemic.
The talk comes as the final episode of the Glover-led FX TV series “Atlanta” airs this coming week.
