Speaking to Metro Weekly, actor Joel McHale was asked if we would see another season of “Community” on Yahoo Screen! and this is what he had to say:
No. They wanted to. But all of our contracts were up after six years. All the actors on the show, almost without exception — their stock has risen significantly and it’s out of the pay rate that is affordable to make the show. So you’re not going to be able to get Alison Brie or Gillian Jacobs at a normal television salary anymore. There is just not enough money to be able to pay for the show.
The fate of the show has yet to be determined by Sony, according to sources, but this sounds like the cast is ready to move on after six seasons. Let’s hope we can get that movie though!
***UPDATE***
Yahoo! has responded:
“We’ve seen tremendous value in our partnership with Sony and are continuing to discuss future opportunities for Community,”
