Alison Brie teased that a Community movie could be happening during a Q&A session, suggesting that the show's "six seasons and a movie" catchphrase might come true.

In an Ask Me Anything Q&A session on Reddit, someone asked: "Hey Alison, any news about the Community movie?" Brie replied and said she "actually got an interesting call about it this week...stay tuned..."

This isn't the first time Brie has hinted about a Community movie, as back in 2015 she said she would be "more hopeful about a movie than a seventh season" and added, "one is more likely than the other, but I don't know if either will happen."

A season two episode of Community, titled "Paradigms of Human Memory," featured a joke about a failing TV show lasting six seasons and a movie, which became a catchphrase in the Community fanbase.

Fans believed that the TV series would run for six seasons and then make a movie, a plan that the show's creator, Dan Harmon, seems to be on board with.

In an interview with TV Line, Harmon said it is likely that the Community cast would reunite to make a movie rather than another season. Harmon said he thinks they will: "wait a little bit, let [the cast] explore their awesome careers, and then we get together for an incredible movie."

Joel McHale explains why he played it straight for The Tiger King and I, and why he's optimistic for a Community movie

Sunday's Netflix Tiger King follow-up marked a return to Netflix for McHale, who hosted The Joel McHale Show Starring Joel McHale in 2018. McHale tells Variety he was approached to host on a Friday, and the various Tiger King subjects were sent iPads so that they could be filmed in 4K. “This wasn’t showing a clip from a cake competition baking show and this was not just a sitcom or something like that,” he says of playing The Tiger King and I straight. “I wanted to approach it as myself and having an actual conversation. I joke all the time, even during heavy conversations. It’s the way I kind of deal with things is with humor. But I didn’t want to make light of anything they were saying. But if Jeff (Lowe) was going to come on wearing an Affliction T-shirt, then I was definitely going to go for that.” As for Community getting a movie now that it's on Netflix, McHale says: "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.”

Joe Russo: "I believe there will be a Community movie, especially now that it’s doing so well on streaming"

Russo, one half of the Russo Brothers who was an executive producer on Community, says he expects the beloved comedy to reach its "six seasons and a movie" goal, especially now that it's on Netflix. “We’d certainly be willing to do it," he tells Collider. "We love our Community family. That cast, we’re all still very close to all of them. It’d certainly be schedule-depending for us. But I believe there will be a Community movie, especially now that it’s doing so well on streaming. Someone like Netflix could step up and make that movie.”

Community movie conversations are "happening," says Dan Harmon

The Community creator told The Wrap today that conversations are “happening that people would want to be happening” for a reunion movie. “I can tell people for sure that the enthusiasm for Community, both for all of this time and the resurgence of it (on Netflix0, there’s always an aspect of that affects the marketplace,” Harmon said. “And when the marketplace gets affected, conversations happen. And when conversations happen, things happen.”
