A new update on the Community movie offers fans great relief after months of returning character speculations. Based on the celebrated NBC sitcom that ran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015, Community features a star-studded ensemble cast, most of whose careers have taken off after the success of the series. This is one of the main reasons why the development of the Community movie has taken so long to come to fruition, particularly because of the cast’s busy schedules working on various other projects.
With so much having been said about the Community movie by the general cast and creator Dan Harmon over the last few years, fans have had to endure quite a long wait. Recent updates indicate that Donald Glover, who was arguably the biggest question mark in returning for the Community movie, will be involved in the highly-anticipated project. The only thing holding the Community movie back at this time is getting all its stars to align before it finally premieres on Peacock sometime in the near future.

Why The Community Movie Needed Yvette Nicole Brown’s Shirley To Return
In order for the Community movie to really be worth all the effort required to make it, it needs most if not all of its core original cast members. Listed as the confirmed top-billed cast on IMDB are Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, and Jim Rash, but not Yvette Nicole Brown. Ken Jeong recently mentioned Brown’s name on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon when listing off returning cast members, implying that the actor is on board to return for the movie.
Yvette Nicole Brown’s Shirley Bennett character in Community is necessary for the movie’s success. Brown appeared in 99 of the 110 total episodes of Community, and her absence would create a void that would distract from the excitement of the cast reunion altogether. Shirley was seen as the motherly type of figure throughout the series, playing a vital role in keeping the often outlandish antics of the Community group in line and in check. Without Shirley, the Community movie would be poised to go completely off the rails.

What To Expect From The Community Movie
The Community movie, also referred to as And A Movie based on Abed’s now classic “six seasons and a movie” prophecy, will be written by creator Dan Harman and writer Andrew Guest. While the plot for the project is still very much under wraps, the Community movie will likely be set at the series’ original setting of Greendale Community College. Fans can expect some typically clever writing from Harmon, who has already ruled out obvious occurrences in And A Movie such as a paintball scene. It’s unclear whether Harmon will jam-pack the Community movie with nostalgic references and Easter eggs or whether he is aiming to create something brand new.
Community
The Community movie is the long-awaited sequel to the television series created by Dan Harmon. The film, which was always comedically teased throughout the series with the phrase “Six seasons and a movie,” will see the majority of the cast return for a big adventure that will pick up some time after the sixth season.
