I'd still like the show to go out with six seasons and a movie, just for sheer fan-pleasing prophecy fulfillment.

and the movie take place between seasons four and five. That way it could have Chevy and Donald back.
It would be entirely too bizarre to set a feature-length theatrical movie in the past of the show's timeline. Are you serious? Besides, Donald Glover isn't written out of the show for good and it's been implied that he might still return, so I would be very surprised if he didn't agree to be a full-time player in the movie should it come to fruition. As for Chevy Chase...well, that's a different story. Obviously he's dead in the show, although they could easily find ways to have him show up anyway, either as a spirit (the show has done weirder things), in flashbacks, or hey, maybe he faked his own death and has a reveal halfway through? I mean, that wouldn't be out of character for Pierce. The real question though is whether Chevy Chase would even agree to be involved, and it seems like there's a strong possibility he wouldn't.

Did they ever establish exactly how much time had passed between the seasons?
Every season covers a year of college (generally with the mid-semester break inserted during the mid-season break, though the shorter episode orders of seasons 4 and 5 kind of messed with that a bit). I'd imagine season 5 would've followed suit and started at the the beginning of the following college year, even if none of them were studying at the time.

Actually, somewhat. I've seen other people suggesting it, and I could see a story working out.
I recall reading that Dan Harmon wants to start off Season 6 with the characters talking about how something really awkward happened over the summer, without ever saying exactly what happened. And then the movie is all about that awkward summer thing. Although that premise would preclude Troy and Pierce's return and Dan Harmon & Co. are making things up as they go along, anyways.

It will. They would've no doubt had some contracts down before announcing its return.
Anyway, this is unfortunate news, though I honestly don't think it'll impact the show as much as, say, Troy's departure did. Shirley has been criminally underutilised for quite a while now, and she's still said that she's open to return in a recurring guest star capacity.
I'd also expect Troy to at least make an appearance at some point, seeing as how his storyline only had him leaving for one year. Seems like him and Harmon are still on friendly terms with one another, too.

 Pretty much going to repeat what Beamer said. She's had no real story for a while. We only got to know in the season five premiere that she was separated from Andre or something like that. My first thought was that with her gone, this might basically just be the Jeff-Britta-Annie love triangle show observed by Abed. If Shirley were to make an apperance it would probably be with as much story as she had the entire last season. One is described as a woman who's brought in as a consultant to help shape up the school. The other is a retired salesman who comes to Greendale to reinvent himself This sounds like the show will be stuck in an endless attempt to make Greedale better. Season five ended with Greendale being "saved". Harmon does actually seem really optimistic these days

I think it would be neat if they committed to another location. Season 1 was essentially exclusively at Greendale. Season 2 introduced a couple new locales, including restaurants and apartments, but it was still mostly at Greendale. Season 3 went off campus still more, though that was in part due to the story arc wherein the Greendale 7 was expelled. Season 4 went off campus more and introduced more locales. The study group graduated at the end of Season 4, so Season 5 would have been the logical step to bring us to a new committed location. Season 5 stayed mostly at Greendale, however. I certainly wouldn't want them to ditch Greendale, but I think it would be neat to see a new home for the central characters. I guess they have Troy/Abed/Annie's apartment, but that always felt secondary and most other locations have only been cisited once or twice. At this point they might as well have Jeff fuck the Dean if they want to do anything unexpected
Well, they did have the Dean move in next to Jeff, a plot point that has barely been utilized.

Lambda: Good insight.  Writing is already underway, and the production has found a new home (having been displaced from its longtime stage on the Paramount lot): The CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Calif.
Wouldn't this make it more feasible to have a guest appearance of Pierce? (It could be a dream, flashback, hologram, revelation of a faked death, etc.) Pierce's cameo in the Season 5 premiere was made a hologram because his departure included an agreement wherein he would not be allowed on the Paramount lot anymore. But the show is no longer on the Paramount lot, so that hurdle has presumably been eradicated. Obviously, there's the well-publicized drama between Chevy and Dan, including Chevy saying the show isn't funny (Chevy's love to perform physical comedy was rarely emphasized on this character-based comedy.) Regardless, he did have that cameo in Season 5 and I read in a Harmon interview that when Dan texted Chevy about the idea of a cameo, Chevy excitedly agreed. So, despite all of the negative publicity, they obviously don't hate each other; they and their creative juices just don't jive well in more long-term, close quarters. I mean, that's my theory, anyway.

Hi all, I'm kinda the Community fanatic around here, aren't I? I guess everyone has their focus on the Simpsorama episode.. Anyway., it looks like they're about to start shooting season 6. edit: Nov 17 according to the site below Also they announced these actors: 'Community' Enrolls Paget Brewster, Keith David for Season 6(Weirdly, Brewster actually guest starred on Community last season, as IT department head Debra Chambers. Hmmm... will Abed notice that Frankie and Debra look just alike?)

I kinda hope that Donald and Yvette is back for the movie.
I did get a tweet-reply from Yvette who's the nicest person in the world. Her Nerdist appearance is super inspiring and gives me the happys lots.

I still care as well, although I'm basically only checking twitter these days. If they actually can get a season 1 feel this time around with their extended budget and all, it can be really good. There's also been a rumour going round that Chevy will make an appearance again since he did his AMA on reddit. He mentioned he has recorded a cameo, and then the debated started whether he meant the one in season five or not. He is aware of being killed off though. Interesting panel recap.If you were to take a man and bring him back to life like that I would think you’d want to keep it a secret. Harmon is not only open to Donald Glover returning to the show, he’s praying (to heaven and hell) that it will happen.

*BUMP* Anyone interested out there? A season six poster has been released. There's also been a lot of promotional material in general by Yahoo, including season recaps, an ARG recently leading people to gifs presumably from the new season, not to mention Community is now sponsored by Honda. In general I have high hopes about it still beeing good Community. The budget increase looks noticable, and considering the last production day is after March 17th, maybe, just maybe, the season will be prolonged.
