In the wake of all six seasons of “Community” recently hitting Netflix, there has been a surge in interest in the comedy series and that talk has resurrected discussions over a potential movie.
Series creator Dan Harmon has famously been tight-lipped about such a possibility, but with all the fresh love for “Community” he may be more open to the idea.
Speaking with The Wrap, he says “conversations are happening” that tie directly into this, and suggests something very exciting is on the way soon:
“I can tell people for sure that the enthusiasm for Community both for all of this time and the resurgence of it [on Netflix], there’s always an aspect of that affects the marketplace. And when the marketplace gets affected, conversations happen. And when conversations happen, things happen.
I mean, when you’re part of the Community family, you learn never to raise expectations, keep ‘em nice and low and then be pleasantly surprised. So I can say that there are conversations happening that people would want to be happening and that I’m very, very excited about the coming months.”
The series ran from 2009-2015 and amassed critical acclaim along with a dedicated audience. It also kicked off the career of Donald Glover and boosted that of Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash among others. The cast will reunite for a highly anticipated virtual table read shortly.
