The Dan Harmon comedy series is finally coming to Netflix globally. Pop pop, people.
A tweet from Netflix’s comedy Twitter account Netflix Is A Joke has confirmed that “Community” will come to Netflix on Apr. 1 (or Mar. 32, as Dean Pelton has taught us). If you’re squinting your eyes suspiciously at the April Fools Day date, no worries—NIAJ assured us they aren’t messing around.

The six-season comedy series by “Rick and Morty” creator Dan Harmon follows a group of Greendale Community College misfits who get into all sorts of cinematic shenanigans. From school-wide paintball fights a la “Good Fellas” to “Lord of the Rings” level D&D matches, “Community” is a pop culture fanatic’s dream sitcom—and a show way ahead of its time.
The cast features Joel McHale, Allison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong, Jim Rash, Chevy Chase and a very young Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino. The Russo brothers of “Avengers” fame are also executive producers and frequent episode directors of the show.
If you’re a fan of the show, you’d know that “Community” had a rocky run behind the scenes. Despite all the drama, fans wanted to keep the show alive by campaigning the hashtag #SixSeasonsAndAMovie. According to Abed, that’s the measurement of success for a show franchise. Maybe now, ten years after its pilot, we’ll finally get that film courtesy of Netflix? Our fingers are crossed.
