It’s Hulu’s loss and the fans’ gain. Former NBC comedy “Community” will continue on at Yahoo Screen.
In a surprise last-minute deal, the show’s producers Sony Pictures Television sold a 13-episode sixth season to the web video service.
“I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo,” said show creator Dan Harmon in a statement. “I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, Bang Bus!”
