It's official: Community is returning for a sixth season — on Yahoo Screen.
Studio Sony Pictures Television has revived Dan Harmon's cult comedy series for 13 new episodes to launch in the fall on Yahoo Screen, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Showrunner Harmon as well as stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash will return. Exec producers Russ Krasnoff, Gary Foster and Chris McKenna also will be back.
The news comes after NBC canceled the ratings-challenged cult comedy in May, with Hulu said to be among the early suitors to revive the series.
"I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo,” Harmon said in a statement Monday. “I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!”
