Six seasons and a movie. “Society” returns after a 7-year hiatus

The fans’ call for “six seasons and a movie” has finally been put into practice. Streaming service Peacock has won the rights to make the film a sequel to the comedy series “Community”. The premiere is scheduled for next year.

Who will return in “Society”?

Most of the stars in the original will return to the screen: Joel McHale (Jeff Winger), Danny Body (Abed Nader), Alison Brie (Annie Edison), Gillian Jacobs (Brita Perry), Jim Rush (Craig Pelton) and Ken Jeong (Ben Chang). Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Chevy Chase likely won’t be brought to the set. Remember, the latter left the series after four seasons due to a conflict with the show’s creator, Dan Harmon.

Harmon wrote the screenplay for “Community: The Movie” in partnership with Andrew Guest. He will also serve as executive producer on the film with McHale, Ross Krasnov, and Gary Foster.

The slogan “Six Seasons and a Film” started his artistic career as a discontinuous script from the first seasons of the series “The Society”. However, it soon led to a fan movement for this hilarious comedy — Susan Rovner, Head of Entertainment Content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming admitted in an official statement — We are very grateful to be able to deliver the promised film to the masses after 13 years. We look forward to working with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our UTV partners to continue this great comedy for the Peacock audience.
