Alison Brie, beloved for her role as Annie Edison in the acclaimed sitcom Community, recently shared an update about the long-anticipated film adaptation, Community: The Movie. Fans have been waiting nearly a decade for the cast of Greendale Community College’s quirky study group to reunite on screen, ignited by the show’s memorable phrase, “six seasons and a movie.”
In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant while promoting her new horror film Together, Brie provided a concerning status update on the Community film. Although specific details were scarce, she indicated that production has hit another snag, yet the cast remains hopeful for the future. Brie noted,
“I truly have nothing to say about the Community movie. It’s sort of paused, and we’re all — I know the cast is really rooting for it. We all love each other so much and would love to get back on set someday.”
Given Brie’s comments, it appears fans will need to wait even longer for the film to materialize. Since the series concluded with its sixth season in 2015, devoted followers have been eagerly anticipating the continuation of the beloved characters’ stories. With approximately ten years gone by, the anticipation has only grown more intense.
There has been ongoing discussion regarding the future of a Community sequel. The project gained momentum when filming for Community: The Movie was confirmed back in September 2024, but uncertainties regarding the halt in production currently cloud its future. Fans are left puzzled, wondering why the film has encountered yet another delay and when production might resume.
The challenge of reuniting the cast has been compounded by their busy schedules and individual pursuits. Since the Community series finale, the talented ensemble has branched out to explore various creative projects, making it difficult for all to gather for the film. Donald Glover, known for his multifaceted talents as an actor, writer, and musician, epitomizes this struggle, having become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after figures. Meanwhile, Dan Harmon, the show’s creator, is engrossed in the success of the hit animated series Rick & Morty.
Brie’s commitments to Together have further complicated the timeline for Community: The Movie. It’s clear that Brie and her co-stars are eager to fulfill the dream of bringing this sequel to life. However, the question remains: how much longer will fans have to endure this wait?
