Community movie cast: Who’s in and who’s out?
By Tiara Starks
The NBC sitcom, Community, is finally making its way to the big screen (well…technically small screen) as it’s set to be released soon on Peacock! The film will be scripted by the original series creator Dan Harmon alongside former writer, Andrew Guest. Russ Krasnoff, Gary Foster, and Joel McHale, who also starred in the series, will executive produce. The movie is slated to be released in 2023.
With news of this upcoming release, fans of the original series are anticipating the entire ensemble cast to reprise their roles in the movie. Look below to find out who’s in and who’s out of the cast.
Who’s in the Community movie?
The show’s six season regulars are confirmed cast members in the upcoming movie:
- Joel McHale as Jeff Winger
- Danny Pudi as Abed Nadir
- Gillian Jacobs as Britta Perry
- Jim Rash as Dean Craig Pelton
- Alison Brie as Annie Edison
- Ken Jeong as former Spanish professor Ben Chang
Who’s not in the Community movie?
Three of the original cast members will not be in the upcoming movie:
- Donald Glover as Troy Barnes
- Yvette Nicole Brown as Shirley Bennett
- Chevy Chase as Pierce Hawthorne
While Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown and Chevy Chase are not attached to the project, Brown recently tweeted about her excitement for the movie’s release.
Glover, who is also known by his music persona Childish Gambino, and stars in the FX series Atlanta, previously mentioned that he left the show after the conclusion of the fourth season due to personal reasons. Chevy Chase’s involvement with the show post-leaving before the start of the fifth season has been riddled with controversy regarding comments he made on-set about co-star Glover as well as other unsavory allegations.
While the whole gang isn’t getting back together, it’s good to know that the legacy of the cult NBC comedy series will continue on. We’re hoping to see a lot more excitement from fans of the series as we inch closer to the release date!
If you haven’t seen the entirety of the show yet, just know that the original run of Community will be available to stream on Peacock soon! Being that the show is part of a non-exclusive streaming deal, you can stream all six seasons right now on Hulu, Netflix and Prime Video.
