“I don’t suppose he’s allowed to,” Joel McHale advised The Put up when requested a couple of potential Chase return for the upcoming movie. “I don’t suppose it will occur. I don’t suppose it’s a factor. Clearly his unceremonious departure in Season 4 just about did that in.” And so far as McHale is worried, Chevy wouldn’t need to come again anyway: “I’m guessing in case you requested him, he wouldn’t have an interest.”

Chevy’s firing from “Group” in 2013 is the stuff of contemporary TV legends. The comic-turned-actor exited the collection after 4 seasons on the NBC collection after allegedly calling co-star Donald Glover a racist slur. This was after years of butting heads with collection creator Dan Harmon, with Chase usually chastizing Harmon for not seeing eye to eye with him comedically. Evidently, Chase is persona non grata with the “Group” forged and crew, and bringing him again for the upcoming Peacock movie would flirt with catastrophe.

And in line with McHale, the movie continues to be a go, though the timetable for it isn’t set but. “I do know that we’ve been saying stuff about it. However we now have a price range. We’re going to do it — it’s simply getting the date and lining all people up. It’s going to occur” he advised The Put up. “I used to be 50/50, lower than 50/50 a pair years in the past. However now, it’s actual. So we simply must get the dates down.” Peacock ordered a characteristic movie of “Group” in September 2022, however since then, there’s been no updates in regards to the challenge till McHale’s feedback.

Debuting in 2009, “Group” ran 5 seasons on NBC earlier than transferring over to Yahoo! Display for a sixth and ultimate season. Since then, followers of the collection have taken to social media to rally for the “and a film” of Harmon’s supposed future for the collection, but it surely wasn’t till 2022 that Peacock lastly gave that want the inexperienced gentle. As soon as it did, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than followers started to ask if Chase could be concerned.

Shortly after Peacock introduced the “Group” film, a fan requested Harmon a couple of potential Chase return on the 2022 New York Comedian Con. Stated Harmon, “I don’t even know if it’s authorized for him to return again. That could be out of my fingers. There could also be one thing I signal for with an insurance coverage firm.”

So, no, McCale’s replace about Chase not being concerned with Peacock’s “Group” film ought to shock nobody.
