Alison Brie Shares 'Community' Movie Update: 'Legitimate Conversations' Are Happening
Alison Brie is sharing a promising update about a future Community movie.
For years, fans of the cult-favorite series have called for a reunion project and the 39-year-old actress revealed some new details about the possibility of a follow-up film during an upcoming appearance of WrapWomen’s UnWrapped podcast.

“You know what, I’ll say it. There’s been movement,” Alison said, per The Wrapped. “There’s been some talks. People are talking and certain things — wheels are turning. I said it!”
“I’m saying there are legitimate conversations that are happening. Whether or not they will ever turn into an actual movie — I would love it if they did, and I hope that they do,” she continued. “But the fact alone that actual real conversations are happening is I think the most progress we’ve ever made on that front.”
Her former co-star Joel McHale had also recently teased the possibility of a movie in a separate interview.
“I’m setting aside all the money to make [the movie] happen,” he told Comicbook in June. “Before, when I’d answer the question [of if a Community movie is possible], I’d be like, ‘Maybe, I have no idea.’ But now, with its success on the streamers during the pandemic, the interest has returned. I would say it’s more likely than it was before, definitely, but it’s like building an aircraft carrier.”
He continued, “You go, ‘We’re gonna do this, right? Yeah, okay, everybody’s here, we got the money.’ Now, this thing has to actually get built. There’s a lot more than just, ‘Hey, let’s make a movie now, great.’ It’s a lot of moving parts. So I’m more positive than I was, definitely, but we’ll see. That’s a terrible answer, but definitely better than my answer two years ago.”
Community aired for six seasons on NBC from 2009 to 2015. It starred Alison and Joel as well as Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Chevy Chase, Ken Jeong, Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover.
