'Community' Disappearance Is 'America's Biggest Cliffhanger'

Alison Brie told MTV News at Sundance that 'Community' is still shooting despite the show remaining off of NBC's schedule.By Josh Wigler, with reporting by Josh Horowitz (@joshuahorowitz)

Greendale Community College's doors might be closed at the moment, but that doesn't mean class isn't quietly in session inside.

Late last year, NBC pulled the critically acclaimed but criminally under-watched "Community" from its schedule, with a return date yet to be announced. Some fans were so outraged by the network's decision that they staged a flash mob outside of NBC's 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters earlier this month, but to no avail — the show remains on the sidelines to this date.

Still, progress is being made on the "Community" set itself, at least. Actress Alison Brie, who stars in the series as the beautiful but quirky Annie Edison, told MTV News that work on the NBC comedy is ongoing despite the show's disappearance from the network's schedule.

"We're still wrapping up 'Community,' our third season," Brie told us at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where she was appearing in support of her new film "Save the Date."

Asked about when the show might return, she claimed: "I don't know! It's in the air! It's America's biggest cliffhanger! I don't know what's going to happen, but we're still shooting the third season, so hopefully it's going to air in March or April."

Meanwhile, if "Community" fans are looking for more Brie in their lives, they don't need to tune into NBC. Chances are high that the actress will reprise her role as Pete Campbell's wife, Trudy, on the upcoming season of AMC's "Mad Men," returning to airwaves for the first time in over a year on March 25.

"You may [see me in more 'Mad Men']," Brie assured us about her probable return to the Emmy-winning drama, now entering its fifth season. "You should definitely tune into 'Mad Men' this season, because I hear it's going to be very good."

What do you make of NBC's decision to pull "Community"? Tell us in the comments section!
