'Community' Season 6 Is Now Available Streaming on Yahoo!
by Andy Neuenschwander
Attention, "Community" fans and cord-cutters: we have some good news for you!
"Community" is back with a brand-new season, although it now has a different home on Yahoo! Screen.
The change of venue isn't the only major difference in the new season: the cast is now missing former series regular Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley), who announced that she would be leaving the show before this season began production.
Brown is the third series regular and original core cast member to leave the show, following Chevy Chase (who left two seasons back) and Donald Glover (who left a few episodes into last season).
"Community" has had a rough ride in terms of staying on the air, as the show never quite managed to bring in strong ratings on NBC. In fact, there were years where fans had to stage protests—both online and in front of NBC headquarters in New York—to convince the network not to cancel the show.
After last season, NBC finally canceled "Community," but Yahoo! jumped on the opportunity to have a quality original program with a built-in audience. New episodes in the show's sixth season will air for free on Yahoo! Screen with ads, and will be released on a weekly basis as opposed to the binge-watching structure used by Netflix, Amazon and others.
Head over to Yahoo! Screen to check out the "Community" season 6 premiere!
