On March 32nd, Netflix added NBC‘s hit comedy sitcom Community into its roster of television series to be binged, and it came at such a great time. Actor Donald Glover — who played former football star Troy Barnes — released his newest album “3.15.20” as musical moniker Childish Gambino during the coronavirus pandemic, and actor Joel McHale hosted the Tiger King true crime documentary miniseries on Netflix.
According to an interview by Variety this past weekend via Instagram Live, McHale expressed his thoughts and opinion on the documentary. More importantly, he also added that the Community film is more of a probability now. The series caused issues that it would never last, as Gambino references in his earlier music, and spawned the hashtag #sixseasonsandamovie. By the end of the series’s run at its sixth and perhaps final season, the hashtag reduced to #andamovie. McHale states:
“There’s way more rumblings than there used to be. Alison [Brie] tweeted that she got a phone call from Sony. They still haven’t called me, maybe Matthew Lillard will take over. But I would say there’s a better chance than there’s ever been. … For a long time I was like, ‘never gonna happen.’ And now I think with the renewed interest, and I know the cast is interested, that it could happen.”
The actor portrayed lead character Jeff Winger, a lawyer who returns to community college to get his degree after being suspended from his law firm. He spends the next six seasons bonding and creating a family with his group of remarkable peers, whom he met in his Spanish class.
Community ended on a great note, and perhaps that’s good enough. But we’ll never know what happened to Glover’s Troy Barnes, if he will ever find his way back to land, and the same for character Shirley Bennett. We won’t spoil what happens. You’ll need to have finished the series to understand.
McHale also started a podcast with actor Ken Jeong, who played the group’s psychotic Spanish teacher, Asian character Ben Chang. The Darkest Timeline is available on streaming platforms!
