Trailer: COMMUNITY - season 5

NBC have released the first trailer for season 5 of Community, which sees creator Dan Harmon back in charge after a fourth season that became a parody of his cult gem. This gives us a good idea about how Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) will return to Greendale post-graduation, and my overall impression is how this taster feels quite... mature? I mean, I'm sure it's still going to be abundantly silly and goofy at its core, but this trailer doesn't have that feeling of desperation last season had. It already feels like we're getting a fresh chapter of the show, rather than a well-intentioned tribute act. I only hope the loss of Chevy Chase and the impending absence of Donald Glover doesn't prove insurmountable. We're still aiming for the "six seasons and a movie" goal, after all...

Community returns for a 13-episode season on 2 January 2014 as part of NBC's new 'Comedy Night Done Right'.
