This news is streets ahead, indeed: according to Deadline, “Community” has been renewed for a 13-episode season four! We’ll fill in the details as they come in, but that’s all that matters for now. Until then: let’s dance.
UPDATE: Alan Sepinwall has this to say:
Unlike the “30 Rock” final season renewal, as far as I know this is not officially the final order for the show. It’s entirely possible “Community” could get a back 9 order next season or even, miracle of miracles, a fifth season. Unlike the aging, expensive “30 Rock,” it makes no sense for NBC to cut off its options with “Community” before it has to. While I’d say it’s probable that these 13 will be it for Jeff, Britta, Troy, Abed, Annie, Shirley, Pierce and company — and would allow the show to roughly mirror the four-year college experience — stranger things have happened at NBC in recent years (like five seasons of “Chuck”). Six seasons and a movie is still vaguely in play. (Via)
I’m just happy that next Thursday isn’t the end of one of my favorite shows.
