Community Movie Adaptation Gets Hopeful Update From Joel McHale
Dan Harmon's dream of six seasons and a Community movie is getting closer to coming true, according to star Joel McHale. The Emmy nominee starred in the NBC sitcom as Jeff Winger, a former lawyer who is forced to attend the questionable Greendale Community College after being disbarred for claiming to have a bachelor's degree. Though initially looking to skate by with cheating and minimal effort, Jeff finds himself growing into a different person as he becomes close with a Spanish study group he initially created to sleep with one member.
Alongside McHale, the main cast for Community included Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase and Jim Rash. Having premiered in late 2009, the series scored critical acclaim throughout most of its six-season run, save for the mixed-received season 4 that wasn't run by Harmon after he was fired by NBC. Community has been credited with putting much of its talent in front of and behind the camera, including Harmon, who would go on to co-create Rick and Morty, as well as Brie and Glover.
