After the showrunner shuffle-around earlier this year, some justifiable doubt was cast over the future of Community’s cast, particularly the question of whether Chevy Chase would return for season four.
Back in April, Chase hinted in an interview that he “probably won’t be around that much longer”, which, combined with his well-publicised spat with the show’s creator Dan Harmon, had many thinking it was curtains for loveable sociopath racist Pierce Hawthorne.
Not so, as Sony has confirmed that the entire lead cast (Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole Brown, Gillian Jacobs, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Chevy Chase, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong) will now be returning for season four, which is a comfort to fans. They must all have behaved themselves when it came to that leaked memo on how to speak to the press about Dan Harmon’s removal from the show…
Season four of Community begins on NBC on the 19th of October.
