Long-Awaited Community Movie Gets Hopeful Filming Start Update From Alison Brie: “I Maintain An Optimism”


This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

The Community movie is still a possibility, according to Alison Brie. The show ran from 2009 to 2015 and proved to be a cult classic. Unfortunately, NBC elected to cancel the show after five seasons. It enjoyed one final season on Yahoo! Screen, a defunct service before it came to an end with season 6, episode 13, “Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television”. The only true hope of its revival is through the movie, which has been in development for over a decade.

In an interview with Collider, Brie explained that actually scheduling the production has been the most difficult issue. While “everybody wants to do it“, finding a time for every cast member to return has been challenging. Brie hopes that everyone should be available “later in the year“, but emphasized that she is “always hearing” that line. Check out her quote below:

I don’t know. Obviously, everybody’s schedules are tricky, and maybe that’s the main thing. But I maintain an optimism. I’m always hearing, “Checking of avails.” So that’s always a good thing. “We’re checking new avails for later in the year.” We all love each other so much. Everybody wants to do it. So, there’s the willingness. I feel like that’s the first step is all of us just being like, “Let’s get the gang back together!” So, your guess is as good as mine.

Scheduling Remains The Biggest Issue

It is no great surprise that scheduling continues to plague this movie. After all, many of its stars have gone on to become well-known faces within Hollywood. Joel McHale (Jeff Winger) is poised to star in Scream 7 (2026), Gillian Jacobs (Britta Perry) has taken a significant role in The Bear, and Donald Glover (Troy Barnes) is a force unto himself. Glover starred in The Lion King (2019), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), all while balancing life as the musician, Childish Gambino.

The movie officially entered development in 2014, and it remains in limbo 11 years later.

Merely finding time to fit all of these extraordinary actors in one space is an extreme challenge. Having enough time to film an entire movie is even more difficult. The Community movie entered development in 2014, and it remains in limbo 11 years later. Because the stars have expressed interest in returning, it is only a matter of time until their schedules coincide. Until then, unfortunately, Brie and the other cast members will continue to await their return. It was officially announced in 2022, however, so the process remains ongoing.
