COMMUNITY: THE MOVIE: Peacock Orders Film with Original Stars

Peacock has made #sixseasonsandamovie happen—the streamer has ordered a COMMUNITY film.

According to Peacock, “COMMUNITY THE MOVIE: from the TV series that predicted its own movie, comes the least predictable movie of a TV series that referenced a lot of movies and TV.”

“‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from COMMUNITY’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,” said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.”

“COMMUNITY was light years ahead of its time when it premiered on NBC in 2009 and we are thrilled to once again visit the brilliant minds of Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest and this impeccable cast,” added Jason Clodfelter, Co-President, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “We are grateful to Peacock, our partners at UTV and to all the zealous fans who have cherished this iconic show.”

“This franchise is the very definition of community,” said Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television. “We’re excited to bring the band back together and continue the journey of these beloved characters.”

The film will star original series stars Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong. McHale will also serve as an executive producer, with Harmon and Guest penning the script.

The first five season ran on NBC, with the final year streaming on Yahoo. All six previous seasons are also coming to Peacock (non-exclusively).
