Six seasons and a movie is still the plan for Community - that's according to series creator Dan Harmon.

Harmon told Digital Spy that a film spinoff from the comedy series is "much more likely... than a seventh season".



"If we define a seventh season as one that would be coming out in a timely fashion, then I think we're well past that point," he said. "Even if we started putting a deal together now, it would be more like a reunion special by the time the seventh came out.



"I think the series ended at the end of season six in a definitive enough way - and hopefully we'll be able to get the actors back together sooner rather than later and do some very ambitious movie project that can blow people away. But we'll see."

Harmon added that he wrote the Community season six finale knowing it could well be the show's final instalment.

"But that's not too much different," he said. "Every finale episode of every season of Community, we had to anticipate the concept that it was not coming back - and simultaneously take a bow.



"I very often with Community had to be thinking, 'Every day here at work could be the last day' - so it was relatively easy to think that way for the end of season six."

Writing season two's finale - and season three's opener - in 2011 proved to be especially memorable for Harmon, as he recalls: "Because Chevy [Chase] was so unhappy all the time, I just wrote into the end of season two that he leaves.

"I was hoping that he would understand that he was free to go... and then he renewed his contract for season three. So I had to spent the beginning of season three explaining why he was back - and then he continued to be miserable. Well, you know how that story goes..."

Dan Harmon is co-creator of the Adult Swim original Rick and Morty - season one will air weeknights at 12am on FOX UK starting September 3, with season two following every Thursday at 11pm from September 10.
