Donald Glover Swears “Community” Movie Is Really Happening Soon

Donald Glover confirms the Community movie is actively being developed right now with the full cast locked in and ready to go.

Donald Glover just put the “Community” movie rumors to rest with a direct confirmation that the project is moving forward right now.

The actor and creator sat down with Entertainment Tonight and made it crystal clear that production is actively happening, not stuck in development hell like everyone’s been joking about for years.

“We’re working on it right now,” Glover stated firmly. “I know everybody’s been saying that for forever, but I swear to you, I’m not lying about this. I really think that something is gonna happen soon.”

The beloved NBC sitcom ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015 before wrapping up its run, leaving fans desperate for the promised movie that creator Dan Harmon has been developing with writer Andrew Guest.

Peacock officially greenlit the feature back in 2022, and the project received a major boost when California approved it as part of a $51.6 million film and television tax credit package in 2024.

The cast is locked in and ready to go, with Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and Yvette Nicole Brown all confirmed to return for the reunion.

What’s been holding things up isn’t the script or the network support, it’s been scheduling conflicts with the ensemble cast spread across different projects.

The good news is that Glover revealed the cast has been staying connected through a group chat where they’ve been discussing the movie constantly.

“We were just on the text chain talking about it,” Glover explained. “It’s pretty lovey dovey, but when you’re on the other side of the world, you will wake up to 83 messages.”

The script has undergone multiple revisions to accommodate Yvette Nicole Brown’s character, Shirley, who wasn’t initially included in earlier drafts.

According to Deadline, the writers have been reworking the material to bring her back into the fold. The cast’s chemistry remains strong, and insiders suggest that once scheduling aligns, production could begin within months.

Glover’s commitment to the project signals that this isn’t just another Hollywood promise that gets forgotten.
