What you may need to know:

1. The sitcom that refuses to die is BACK!

2. Community has seemingly been upon the verge of cancellation since it debuted – it finally got the chop, whereupon Yahoo picked it up for their Yahoo Screen platform.

3. Series creator (and mad genius) Dan Harmon was sacked after Season 3, then rehired for Season 5, whereupon he spent a decent amount of time slagging off the seriously iffy Season 4.

4. Original cast member Chevy Chase walked after a spat with Harmon. Donald ‘Troy’ Glover left last season, along with Yvette Nicole Brown (AKA Shirley) – that said, we hear Chevy’s coming back for a cameo. Even though his character is dead.

5. Seasons 1-5 are on Netflix. Binge IMMEDIATELY.

6. Guest stars this time out include Matt ‘Toast Of London’ Berry and STEVE GUTTENBERG.

7. We say: Six seasons and a movie? Nearly there.

Release Date: March 17  (via Yahoo Screen)

It’s quiet.

Too quiet.

The O’Donnell family has reportedly been told to vacate the property by 4pm today.

More as we get it.
