It’s Not The Darkest Timeline After All: ‘Community’ Picked Up At Yahoo!

Briefly: This was sure cutting it close. NBC cancelled Community back in May, and its stars contracts would have expired at midnight tonight, but Yahoo! has announced that it’s resurrected Community for a 13 episode sixth season, with every episode releasing at once sometime in 2015  Update: Yahoo’s release has been edited, and now says that the episodes will be ‘released weekly this Fall’.

Maybe it’s not the darkest timeline after all. After talks with Hulu fell through, I thought for sure that the dream of six seasons and a movie would be cut short, but now fans have a glimmer of hope.

Dan Harmon said that “I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo. I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!”

Chris McKenna, Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster also return, and Joel McHale added ‘The reports of our cancelation have been greatly exaggerated.’ —Mark Twain (The other version of this quote has been wrong for years). #SixSeasonsAndaMovie is real. Thank you Sony. Thank you Yahoo. Thank you Dan Harmon.  And thank you to the greatest f%$#ing fans in the history of the human race. It’s the internet. We can swear now.”

We are so excited. So excited, in fact, that we just changed our default search provider.

What are your thoughts on the renewal? What do you hope to see next season? Sound out below!
