In a move reaffirming fan expectations, Peacock officially ordered the feature in 2022. The production will see the return of main cast members, including Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong. Yvette Nicole Brown has also confirmed her involvement, indicating in October 2024 that the script was “being reworked” to incorporate her character, Shirley.
Joel McHale previously addressed the delays surrounding the project, asserting to GQ that fans “can fully blame my schedule.” This comment came amid rumors that Glover’s busy commitments were holding up production.
