Dan Harmon is shedding some light on what viewers will not see in Peacock’s upcoming Community movie.
On Friday’s episode of Six Seasons and a Podcast, the Community creator revealed that fans hoping for a repeat of the iconic paintball sequences will likely be disappointed.

You sit down to write the movie and you’re like, ‘So, we’d do that right?’ Because it’s so emblematic of what made our show special and the triumphs we had, the things we
