Community series creator Dan Harmon has revealed that conversations are “happening that people would want to be happening” about a reunion movie for the NBC sitcom, which famously developed the “six seasons and a movie” mantra.
In an interview with The Wrap, Harmon, who also co-created the acclaimed Adult Swim series Rick & Morty, suggested that the long-awaited Community movie could finally be happening, as he admitted a renewed interest in the sitcom had opened up discussions.

“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,” he said. “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,” he continued. “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.”

All six seasons of the quick-witted, meta-riffic comedy — including the one season without Harmon and the final season that aired on the now-defunct Yahoo Screen — became available on Netflix in April, causing many fans to shout from the virtual rooftops about an update for the follow-up movie, which has been etched on the chalkboard for years.
In the meantime, there is a virtual cast reunion scheduled for Monday, May 18, at 2 p.m. PT. The charity event will see Donald Glover, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and creator Dan Harmon read through the Season 5 episode “Cooperative Polygraphy,” which aired in January 2014.
