Tantalizing news for Community fans. Despite cold water having been poured on the prospect of Community finding another network, Deadline now reports that streaming giant Hulu is eying a sixth season of the recently cancelled comedy series:
I have learned that Hulu is in talks with Community producer Sony Pictures TV for more original installments of the show, which was cancelled by NBC earlier this month. Sources stress that conversations are preliminary and it is unclear whether they would lead to a deal, but I hear there is will on both sides. That includes Community creator Dan Harmon, who confessed on his blog that he had warmed up to the possibility of continuing the show elsewhere, changing his stance from “eh” when Sony TV called him with the news of the series’ cancellation by NBC to “sure, let’s talk” two days later. Said Harmon, “I’m not going to be the guy that re-cancels cancelled Community.”
Can Community really survive the cancellation timeline? Watch this space…
