The Community movie will not film this year after all – and one of its stars has taken accountability for the delay. In September, it will have been two years since it was announced the sitcom’s promise of “six seasons and a movie” would finally come to fruition . US streaming service Peacock shared the news seven years after the series came to an end in 2015, revealing that creator Dan Harmon would oversee the project and, since then, it’s been revealed that all of the main cast, excluding Chevy Chase, would be returning, While Jeff Winger star Joel McHale , who frequently cameos on hit series The Bear , said in March 2024 that he will be “shocked” if the film does not shoot this year, he has now provided a disappointing update for fans.
“I don’t have a definitive update because we thought for a moment it was going to all happen this year, and then it didn’t,” he told GQ . “But we have the money and that is a huge step. And hopefully, people still want to see it.
And Peacock ’s paying for it. And so I can’t wait to do it.” When asked when he believes the film will start shooting, McHale replied: “I’ll say vaguely, ‘Next year.
’ How about that?” The actor also shut down suggestion that the delay was caused by Donald Glover , who returned with a new Childish Gambino record earlier this year; Glover’s stock has risen considerably since Community ended in 2015. “If it’s anybody’s fault, it’s my schedule on this one,” McHale said.
