When Joel McHale revealed in September of last year that the long-awaited Community movie was finally in production, fans were ecstatic. Seven years after Season 6 aired, the long-held fantasy of the show’s fans—”six seasons and a movie”—finally came true. Fans’ journey to see that goal come true has been a long and rocky one, but things are now moving. The actor recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he announced that production will start in June of this year.
To promote his forthcoming series Animal Control, McHale appeared on the programme. Since McHale portrays a cop turned animal control officer in the series, an albino Burmese Python was brought out for the interview. Then, Kimmel brought up the fact that he had a monkey coworker in Community and questioned him about the impending film. McHale stated, “We are, and the Community movie will be shot in June, so… Thank you for being mindful.” Although the actor kept quiet about the film, he cracked a joke and said, “I can tell Ken Jeong’s going to be in it.”
The show, which was filmed at Greendale Community College, follows Jeff Winger (McHale), a former attorney who is compelled to enrol there in order to receive a valid degree. He establishes a Spanish study group there with a few oddball students, who rapidly become like a second family to him. Fans have been captivated by the group’s tumultuous scenarios, well-known paintball wars, alternate histories, animated episodes, and meta-commentary over the years.
