AFAIK it's all but a done deal, but it shouldn't prevent him doing both really

A quick google shows there hasn't been a news update since mid-May and even then it's still quite speculative

Could be tricky; Joel has a new chat show and Gillian Jacobs has signed onto season 4 of Girls. Hopefully they'll be able to work around them ... IF this happens

Gillian is only recurring on Girls. She could easily do Community too, just like Alison has been on both Mad Men and Community for years.

The main cast are under contract with Sony until mid/the end of June.

Not much of n update but Season 6 looking unlikely

The relevant info from the tvline site

Question: Any word on how talks are going regarding Hulu picking up Community? Please tell me we haven’t seen the last of Annie’s Boobs. —Tom
Ausiello: I would if I could but I can’t. Unfortunately, I hear it’s looking unlikely that Hulu will come to the show’s rescue, although talks are continuing. Danny Pudi, meanwhile, tells us, “I’m not holding on to any hope. If it happens, great! If it doesn’t, I feel great about what we were able to accomplish.”

Hulu supposedly given up talks to take on the show.

Guys, it's time to call it. Time of Death n' all that. Community just ain't coming back so let's just be happy it went out on a high

Hulu could never have afforded it

It would appear the asteroid is closing in.

I'm a little surprised Netflix aren't biting on this as they've committed to new seasons for a number of shows: Trailer Park Boys, The Killing, and Arrested Development. Maybe their own efforts are costing too much money.

Hulu have exclusive streaming rights. Netflix would never make a 6th season when they couldn't stream the first 5.

Didn't realise they had the rights. That explains it. Shame it wasn't sold to Netflix then as we'd probably have got another season as they seem to have a much bigger budget.

This was always the likely outcome.

The early optimism was based on wishful thinking and not a whole lot more.

If netflix had the rights, I think we may have gotten six seasons and a movie

Holy crap it actuallly happened! This is amazing!

As for keeping the cast, they're all still under contract and all genuinely seem to love the show, Joel McHale in particular.

I get the impression, judging by vocal they are about the show, that every one of the main cast will be back.

I know Gillian has a recurring spot on girls, and Joel has a movie coming out.. but I'd be suprised it they lose any of them tbh.

Can't see Jonathan Banks or John Oliver back however.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Wow!!! I never actually had expected this. I thought it was dead...
