Speaking in a recent interview while promoting his new Prime Video series, Glover provided major revelations about the development status of the in-demand Community film.
Not only did he confirm that the script is already complete, but he emphatically declared his unconditional participation in the long-hoped-for movie sequel. With Glover now fully on board to reprise his fan-favorite role alongside other returning stars, it finally looks like devoted fans could see their “six seasons and a movie” rallying cry pay off, sorting out scheduling amongst the cast.
Donald Glover Confirms He’s “All In” for the Community Movie
“Six seasons and a movie” has long been the rallying cry for fans of the beloved sitcom Community. After years of hoping and waiting, Donald Glover just gave followers the best update possible on the film – it’s finally happening and he’s “all in.” Speaking with ET at an event this week, Glover shared major new details about the in-development Community movie. Not only did he confirm the script was already complete, but he made clear his unconditional participation in the project.
Hardcore fans have spent over a decade demanding a Community film to properly conclude the series. Glover himself first pitched the idea during a virtual cast reunion in 2020. Their loyalty paid off when studio Peacock announced plans for a movie sequel in 2022, reuniting original stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, and others.
But aside from early development news, updates have been sparse over the past year, leaving fans worried. Glover’s emphatic update should relieve concerns and build major excitement.
What is Donald Glover’s Status and Involvement in the Movie?
After years of being non-committal about reprising his fan-favorite role as Troy Barnes, Glover left no doubt about his participation. “I’m all in,” he declared, adding he was simply waiting for the script which he understands is now complete.
Given Glover departed Community in season 5, his character’s absence cast doubt if he would return. But he’s now fully committed, pending finalizing what his spokesperson called simply “a scheduling thing.” With the star confirming both script completion and his unambiguous involvement, the Community movie feels locked and loaded.

Considering Glover also has an increasingly busy music career as Childish Gambino, coordinating schedules remains the last remaining hurdle. But after years of keeping followers waiting, Glover brought the best news possible – the Community movie is progressing with him involved “all in.”
