“The wheels are turning,” says Alison Brie when asked about the Community film

Community co-star Alison Brie revealed in an interview that “legitimate conversations are happening,” when asked about the long-awaited Community film. In a podcast appearance, the actor was asked about whether Community, which ended with its sixth season in 2015, will ever receive the promised feature-length continuation of the story. She replied, “You know what, I’ll say it. There’s been movement. There have been some talks. People are talking and certain things, wheels are turning. I said it!,” the actor then cautiously added “I’m saying there are legitimate conversations that are happening. Whether or not they will ever turn into an actual movie — I would love it if they did, and I hope that they do. But the fact alone that actual real conversations are happening is I think the most progress we’ve ever made on that front.” 

The comedy show, created by Rick & Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, centered around the life of a diverse group of people who bond after they sit together as a study group in a community college. The series was noted for its clever pop-culture references and many playful jibes at well-established film and TV tropes. Even though the show received low ratings and cancellations, it generated a cult following who campaigned for its return with a rallying cry “six seasons and movie.” The series eventually came back for a sixth and final season. Nearly seven years after the final episode aired, the fans are now campaigning for a film.

The cast and crew dodged questions about the film for so long while still maintaining that they would be delighted to return. In a benefit to raise money for COVID, the cast and crew did a table read of one of the episodes. All the actors expressed interest in the film and hinted at serious discussions. Now, Alison Brie has come out explicitly stating that the makers are in talks to bring back the cast for a film.
