prophecy is finally coming true!Peacock announced on Friday that, nearly a decade after the start of a fan campaign to end the meta, fan-favorite comedy's run with a movie — as called out in a season 2 episode of the show — a movie is finally in the works.The film will reunite cast members Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong with original series creator creator Dan Harmon -- McHale and Andrew Guest will also executive produce.

Additionally, Peacock is acquiring the full series library for their streaming service.«Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,» said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. «We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.»While original cast members Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown aren't among the confirmed stars announced to return for the movie, McHale did tag them in his tweet announcing the project, hopefully leaving the door open for them to make appearances. (Hilariously, McHale accidentally also tagged Gillian Anderson instead of Jacobs in his tweet, leading star to announce that she's down to join the film!).@alisonbrie@kenjeong@dannypudi@YNB@donaldglover@GillianA@peacock@SonyTV@CommunityTVpic.twitter.com/ynVqgaPuQDIn fact, it was Glover who pitched his idea for a movie during the cast's virtual reunion table read in May 2020 —.
