The spinoff film Community: The Movie has been in the works for a very long time. It is slowly moving forward, steadily heading toward production, and we have another casting confirmation from a returning star to help keep us pointed in the right direction.
Yvette Nicole Brown, who played Shirley Bennett in the six-season Community run has always been assumed to return, but the actress hasn’t spoken out about the project until now.
In a recent interview with Parade, Brown shared, “We don’t know when, but I’m on board. And that might be a scoop because for the longest time, it wasn’t confirmed.”
While Brown’s co-star Donald Glover left Community for good during the show’s fifth season, Brown herself did not return as a series regular for Season 6 but did appear in the season’s premiere and finale. It will be great to see the whole gang (besides Chevy Chase, who left on bad terms with his co-stars) reunite for the movie.
Returning cast members include Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and Yvette Nicole Brown.
Are you excited for this movie to finally arrive?
