The show that always finds a way to audiences’ television and laptop screens will likely be turned into a movie, according to star Joel McHale. “I think we will do a movie if \[writer Dan Harmon\] will write the script,” he told Conan O’Brien on Monday night. After a turbulent run at NBC, where low ratings threatened to lead to the show’s cancelation for years, the network finally dumped the cult-favorite _Community_ in 2014\. Yahoo offered to pick up the show for a sixth season, which aired this fall. Earlier this year at South by Southwest. Harmon hinted that he and Yahoo were nearing a deal for a film. “Yahoo seems down for just about anything,” Harmon [said](http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/community-movie-dan-harmon-season-6-sxsw-panel-1201453080/ "undefined"). “I don’t know why they’d turn their nose up to a movie about a low-rated show. They seem to be very naive.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/"},"headline":"Joel McHale Says There May Be a Community Movie","datePublished":"2015-06-02T15:13:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:49:46.670Z","description":"The actor says Yahoo is willing to turn the comedy into a film","url":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/","keywords":["movies","Television","Community"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/","name":"Joel McHale Says There May Be a Community Movie"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3905005/community-movie-joel-mchale/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
