Donald Glover provided an encouraging update on the 'Community' movie, stating that production is underway and something will happen soon.

Donald Glover, known for his role in the sitcom 'Community,' assured fans that the promised movie is moving forward. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said, “We’re working on it right now. I know everybody’s been saying that for forever, but I swear to you, I’m not lying about this. I really think that something is gonna happen soon.” The series aired six seasons on NBC and Yahoo Screen from 2009 to 2015 under creator Dan Harmon, who co-wrote the film script with Andrew Guest. The project received approval as one of 19 films benefiting from $51.6 million in California film and TV tax credits, announced in 2024. Peacock greenlit the movie in 2022, with confirmed returns from Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong. Yvette Nicole Brown also plans to reprise her role as Shirley, after the script was reworked in October 2024 to include her character. Glover revealed that he and his former co-stars recently discussed the film in their group text chain, describing it as “pretty lovey dovey,” though overwhelming at times with messages piling up to 83 unread. Joel McHale has previously attributed delays to his own schedule, telling GQ that fans “can fully blame my schedule,” countering earlier speculation about Glover's commitments.
