NBC has given us our first official look at season five of Community with a brand new trailer. Get ready for Professor Winger.
To everyone predicting that Jeff Winger would return to Greendale as a professor after his graduation in season four, step forward and collect your prize.
Based on the first new footage from Community season 5, the general direction of the show this year will be Jeff’s experiences as a professor…but not before a classic Winger downward spiral of course.
As a matter of fact this season, or at least this trailer looks to be very Jeff-centric, which is a relief as Joel McHale as a leading man is one of Community’s most underrated assets.
While we know Jeff will be teaching “Fundamentals of Law” (which, curiously isn’t the name of either of the first two episodes), we get very few glimpses of the rest of the cast.
Thankfully Abed turns up briefly to succinctly nail the vibe of the trailer: “like Scrubs, season 9.” And really, the whole trailer does has a season 9 of Scrubs, crossed with a college comedy all over a Black Keys-sounding song vibe.
We also get our first look at Jonathan Banks, who will appear in the majority of the seasons’ episodes and joins the long list of characters who exert their dominance over Dean Pelton. Abed and Troy also get at least one moment of classic hijinx, dressing up in some overly literal camouflage.
Community season 5 begins just under a month from now on January 2.
