NBC has canceled "Community" after five seasons.
The quirky cult-favorite comedy was axed by the network Thursday, cutting short fans' dreams of "six seasons and a movie" (five seasons and no movie just doesn't have the same ring to it).
"Community," which has long struggled in the ratings, saw the return of series creator Dan Harmon this season but also the departure of original cast member Donald Glover. The fifth season averaged 3.7 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49, including DVR playback, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Harmon and series co-stars Joel McHale, Jim Rash and Gillian Jacobs was among those who took to Twitter to mourn the show's cancellation.
