Another semester at Greendale is about to begin.
Yahoo announced that Community, which it brought the cult comedy back from cancellation, will premiere on Yahoo Screen on March 17 during its Television Critics Association (TCA) panel Tuesday.

Along with the announcement came a promotional video from creator Dan Harmon and the cast members (including new addition Paget Brewster). With a healthy amount of subliminal messaging, they stressed how they didn’t need to tell the audience to know who they are.
“You know Community,” Joel McHale said. “It’s the best show in the history of all-viewed anything. I’m not gonna say television because it’s not on television. You know why? It’s better than television.”
Along with the premiere date came a few details on the upcoming season. Unlike Netflix, which chooses to push out the entire season out at once, Yahoo will embrace a weekly schedule once the first two episodes air on the 17th. And Star Yvette Nicole Brown’s departure will be addressed early—but there’s an option for her character to return.

After Harmon says maybe the show is a little “more British and a little freer”, @GillianJacobs adds, “More fart jokes!” #Community #TCA15

Details are still coming through, but Harmon and crew are sure to emphasize that it will still be the same Community, even though it’s no longer on television.
New season of #Community is less about high concepts, more about characters’ lives. #Yahoo #TCA15

.@danharmon on if he has a definite end in mind for the show: “I have to continue writing the show as if it’s going on for 20 seasons.”
