Community star Danny Pudi is eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the upcoming film based on the hit NBC sitcom.
Pudi told ComicBook.com that he and his castmates are buzzing about the recently announced movie for the popular show, though he wouldn't reveal what fans of the series should expect. "Everything we know, we know. The update on my end is that I'm very excited," he said, "I haven't read anything yet, but we've all been texting and communicating. We're pumped and really looking forward to doing it. So we'll see. We'll see very soon, hopefully."
Pudi was asked about the Community movie while speaking about his role in Season 3 of the comedy series Mythic Quest. The Chicago-born actor and producer plays Brad on the show, which has been airing since February 2020.
While on Community, which ran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015, Pudi played Abed Nadir, a Greendale Community College student and pop culture enthusiast who was passionate about filmmaking and an avid movie watcher. He was one of the original members of the study group the series focused on and established a particularly close bond with fellow student Troy Barnes, played by Donald Glover.
Who Is in the Community Movie?
The Community film was announced by Sony Pictures TV and Peacock on Sept. 30. The movie will fulfill the show's mantra of "six seasons and a movie" and includes most of the sitcom's original cast. Joel McHale (Jeff Winger), Alison Brie (Annie Edison), Jim Rash (Dean Craig Pelton), Gillian Jacobs (Britta Perry) and Hangover star Ken Jeong (Ben Chang) have all been confirmed alongside Pudi
Chevy Chase, who played Pierce Hawthorne on the show, will not be in the movie. The actor abruptly left Community during Season 4 after feuding with creator Dan Harmon. As for Glover and Shirley Bennett actor Yvette Nicole Brown, they have not been officially announced as returning.
The Community movie is expected to air on Peacock in 2023, though no definitive date has been given for its arrival or when filming begins. It could potentially give Community fans a proper ending that the TV series failed to offer.
Viewers can see Pudi on Mythic Quest on AppleTV+, with Season 3 beginning on Nov. 11. Community fans can stream all six seasons of the sitcom on Peacock.
