Production

On May 9, 2014, NBC announced that it had canceled Community. For several years prior to its cancelation, fans adopted the slogan "six seasons and a movie", a line from the episode "Paradigms of Human Memory" regarding Abed's hopeful legacy of NBC's short-lived series The Cape.[7][8][9] Sony Pictures Television, the show's primary producer, was reported to have shopped the show to other networks and online distribution outlets, including Hulu and Comedy Central.[10] Deadline.com reported the low chance of such an outcome, with a revival deal from one unnamed suitor not likely to happen and creator Dan Harmon's enthusiasm for continuing on the show uncertain.[11] On May 28, Deadline.com reported that Hulu was in talks with Sony Pictures TV to produce a new season of Community, with Harmon having a change of heart about the revival, saying, "I'm not going to be the guy that re-cancels cancelled Community."[12] On June 24, TVLine reported that Hulu had ended talks with Sony Pictures TV,[13] although The Wrap stated the report was incorrect.[14] On June 30, the day the cast's contracts were due to expire, Yahoo! announced it had ordered a 13-episode sixth season to stream on Yahoo! Screen. The main cast return along with executive producers Dan Harmon, Chris McKenna, Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster. Harmon said, "I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo ... I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online."[3] For season six, the series moved shooting locations from Paramount Studios to CBS Radford, which is twice the size of the previous shooting set.[15]

Writing began in September 2014, and filming began in November 2014, with the first episode directed by the Russo brothers.[16][17] Episodes of the season will also be released weekly, as opposed to being released all at once.[18] In September 2014, it was announced that Yvette Nicole Brown, who plays Shirley, would not return for season six due to a family emergency; however, Brown returned in a guest appearance during the first episode.[19] Paget Brewster and Keith David (Brewster previously guest-starred on the series as a different character and David provided a voice-over role) were cast as series regulars in November 2014; Brewster plays Francesca "Frankie" Dart, a consultant to help improve Greendale, and David plays Elroy Patashnik, a retired scientist who now searches to reinvent himself at Greendale.[20] In November 2014, it was announced that Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren would guest star as Britta's parents, George and Deb Perry, in the second episode of the season.[21] The cast and crew celebrated the making of their 100th episode on December 8, 2014.[22]

In February 2015, Dan Harmon announced that Steve Guttenberg would guest star in an episode.[23] In February 2015, it was confirmed that Billy Zane would play "a mysterious, nameless man scouting Britta for a unique talent" and that Travis Schuldt would return as Subway/Rick.[24] In March 2015, the trailer for season 6 was released, and parodies the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer in its logo, theme and coloring.[25]

On March 15, 2015, it was announced that the series began filming a new "paintball" episode, following the season one episode "Modern Warfare" and season two episodes "A Fistful of Paintballs" and "For a Few Paintballs More".[26]
