Alison Brie has a perfect idea.

Summary:

  • Community was the NBC sitcom that ran for 6 seasons from 2009 to 2015.
  • The joke that originated within the show about "6 seasons and a movie" has become a prophecy as Community the Movie has been announced.
  • The star of the show, Alison Brie, has shared that it's her character's crush on Jeff that she's most looking forward to.

Even though sitcoms allow viewers to focus on something other than romance, people still tend to cling to the couples they see as having the most potential and root for them to end up together. This is why The Big Bang Theory fans are so disappointed that Raj ends up alone, and Friends viewers are still hyped up for Monica and Chandler.

It's rare that a show gets a second chance to tie up storylines that didn't get a satisfying ending. Community the Movie is a perfect opportunity for Dan Harmon to cater to longtime fans and give them what they want to see.

Abed becoming a famous industry director is the first step. The next would be a reunion of a couple that didn't seem to have a real chance the first time around.

Are Community’s Jeff and Annie Together?

It’s not only the fans who want to see some satisfying happy endings in the movie. The cast of the original show is happy to build up the expectations too.

Speaking to TheWrap during the Television Critics Association's 2024 winter tour, Alison Brie admitted that she's not familiar with the movie's plot herself, but has some hopes for her character, Annie Edison. Turns out, the star wants to bring back the flirtatious vibe between Annie and Jeff Winger.

“I do hope that Annie still has a crush on Jeff because I’ve always loved playing out that back-and-forth with Joel [McHale],” the actress shared.

During their six years together at Greendale, Annie and Jeff had a very complex dynamic, with few highs and several lows. Though they shared a few kisses during their freshman year, Jeff went deep into denial of his feelings, upsetting Annie and pushing her away. However, this all ended on a more hopeful note in the finale.

Now that the movie is set in the distant future, maybe the two of them will finally give their relationship a real chance. Especially if both Alison Brie and Joel McHale would be able to recreate the chemistry that was so evident throughout the show's run.

Whether you don't think there's anything good about reuniting with an old flame, or you'd love to see Annie and Jeff pursue their romance, be sure to keep an eye out for any Community the Movie news or behind-the-scenes updates. In the meantime, you can binge-watch the show on Netflix.
