NBC is set to air popular television sitcom Community in its fifth and possibly final season this fall. The show takes place at Greendale Community College and follows a study group getting into self-centered antics based around flawed personalities. Using meta-humor and pop culture references, the television show has acquired a cult following and acclaim from critics. In 2012, Entertainment Weekly ranked Community #15 out of 25 Best Cult TV Shows from the last 25 years. It has been nominated for Best New TV Show and a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
Community’s 4th season ended with a “Modern Warfare” finale. The entire college campus was taken over in a massive paintball war. It was also the final on-screen appearance of Chevy Chase. Furthermore, actor Donald Glover, who portrays beloved character Troy Barnes, will only be returning part-time, appearing in only five of the thirty episodes.The actor/hip-hop artist states he wants to focus more on his rap career as Childish Gambino. Although many fans are broken-up by his decision, they will be compensated by Glover’s new music.
Dan Harmon announced he would return as the showrunner, replacing season four showrunners Moses Port and David Guarascio, with former writer Chris McKenna returning as executive producer. Viewers should have high expectations for the fifth and final season of Community.
