Note: Spoilers for the Community: Season 6 finale follow.

So is Community really, really over? If you watched the Season 6 finale, you know it had a bigger sense than ever of truly saying goodbye, as the episode dealt with possible futures for the characters (via imagined “Season 7” scenarios) and found Elroy (Keith David), Abed (Danny Pudi) and Annie (Alison Brie) all move away, with only a “maybe, probably” regarding whether they’d be back.

Community: Season 6 Finale Review

“With the season six finale of Community airing today, we’re continually excited by how much fans are engaging with the series. Now that all episodes are available for binge viewing, stay tuned for how we keep Community delighting its fans.”

Creator/executive producer Dan Harmon and executive producer Chris McKenna discuss Community.

Community's Keith David, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and Joel McHale.

Given the show’s long, strange, turbulent history and what a gift the sixth season was -- given the show was outright cancelled by NBC last year, only to be saved by Yahoo -- it wouldn’t be a shock at this point if this was the end. But Deadline is reporting Yahoo and Sony (who own and produce Community) are actually having discussions about a possible seventh season.Yahoo wouldn’t comment on this specifically on Tuesday, as the news broke, only releasing a statement that said:Community creator Dan Harmon, fellow executive producer Chris McKenna (who wrote the Season 6 finale with Harmon) and several Community cast members took part in a Q&A after a screening of the finale on Tuesday night. Discussion about a possible Season 7 was kept to a minimum, with no specifics given about any conversations being had between the studio and Yahoo.Harmon and McKenna did however talk about the Season 6 finale and how it became what it is.McKenna laughed, recalling, “I think even leading up to the finale, you and I were saying, 'Can it not be about the end of the show? Can we just do a regular episode that doesn't even address it?' I knew we were probably fooling ourselves by even toying with that notion."McKenna added that it had been "since the second season where we don't know what's going on with the show, whether it's coming back and whether we have to do a series or a season [finale]. But again, the whole thing was a blur, so I'm trying to remember how we stumbled upon this idea about pitching what the seventh season was and not doing it in a way that was just obnoxious, hopefully, but in a way that was more about the characters and leaning into their voices and going, 'I don't know what happens from here on out. Where do they see their lives going?'”Discussing his belief that sometimes being exhausted (and “lazy” as he put it) leads to doing the right thing, Harmon said that after other ideas were floated about, ultimately, “I think the lazy, right thing -- the natural thing -- was to end the show, this very meta show, with the characters being more meta than they’ve ever been and talking not about how everything’s over because, my god, everything’s been over with this show since the back nine of Season 1. It’s always been on the bubble. It’s always had crosshairs on it. The finality of Community has always been hyper aerosol. The show has always been well acquainted with death. It's the Six Feet Under of sitcoms. It works in its own funeral parlor, embalming itself.”“The last thing you want is for the audience to be thinking one thing while the show is thinking another,” Harmon continued. “So obviously everybody is going to be thinking about 'Six seasons and a what...? Is there a seventh season? What?' So okay, let's just have them talk about it.”McKenna noted, “The circumstances also sort of inspired the story in a way, because we literally had Keith [David] for one day. And we're like, 'So I guess he's getting up in study room in the first scene and saying, 'Okay!' and unceremoniously leaving?’ And we just sort of ran with that idea and how everyone was sort of affected by that. I think that was part of the germ of what we were dealing with."The moderator asked Harmon if he felt there would be a seventh season, referencing the finale with, “Maybe, probably?”Harmon replied, “Maybe, probably, maybe... But always okay if [there’s] nothing else. We've done a lot. And I love the amount of work the actors get done with their faces... You can see on Alison Brie's face so much that we wouldn’t be able to write when she says, 'Seventh season? We don't know. There's a lot of variables.' She shares a quick look with Jeff and it's not sexual. It's just filled with promise and romance and possibility. And I think that's such a great way to go out if we're going out. And a great place to pick it up from if we don't go out.”
