( EW.com ) -- Greendale may not have closed its doors for good after all : Hulu is currently in talks with Sony Pictures TV for a sixth season of the recently cancelled `` Community , '' a source close to the show tells EW . ( Deadline first reported the news . ) Sony and Hulu are n't commenting , and another source stressed caution about such a deal , but a proposed plan would likely include a 13-episode new season of the community college meta-comedy , with creator Dan Harmon in the fold . If by chance an agreement were reached , it would push the show past the 100-episode milestone ( it 's at 97 ) , and , of course , bring it one crucial step closer to fulfilling fans ' rally cries of `` six seasons and a movie . '' EW : 'Community ' canceled . Hulu is a logical destination for the show , as it already owns the exclusive digital rights to the `` Community 's '' first five seasons . ( The off-network rights belong to Comedy Central . ) The streaming service is committed to expanding its original programming , which currently includes shows like The Awesomes , Deadbeat and East Los High , as well as Casey Wilson 's upcoming Real Housewives parody The Hotwives of Orlando , but original episodes of Community would put HuluPlus — with its six million subscribers — on the map in a bigger way , much like the revival of Arrested Development did for Netflix . Earlier this month , NBC officially cut bait on `` Community , '' whose fifth season averaged 3.8 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic , including DVR playback . Harmon has kept expectations in check about the possibility of the show — which had made scoring a last-minute renewal from NBC an annual rite — finding a second life elsewhere . Responding to the cancellation news on his blog , he said he was open to making more episodes ( `` I 'm not going to be the guy who recancels cancelled Community '' ) but also noted : `` [ T ] here are lots of reasons a Community resurrection could be difficult . So be prepared for that . '' See the original story at EW.com . CLICK HERE to Try 2 RISK FREE issues of Entertainment Weekly . © 2011 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc. All rights reserved .
