"Community" season 6 could get a late January 2015 premiere, new reports suggest.

According to Split Sider, Dan Harmon dished on the show's air date in a previous Nerdist podcast, suggesting a January 27 premiere.

"I've heard the date January 27th bandied about," the podcast suggested, "but there's no reason to think that things won't be actively changing up till that time."

Fans of the comedy were relieved that the show will be continuing to share laughs in a different platform. After NBC axed the show after its 5th season, Yahoo Screen announced that they will be ressurrecting the show and will be airing the 6th season.

Alison Brie , Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash are set to return next season. Paget Brewster and Keith David will be joining the show following Yvette Nicole Brown's and Danny Glover's exit.

Meanwhile, previous "Community" season 6 reports also claim that Chevy Chase could return to the show.

"I will be in a small cameo at the beginning of Community and if they ask me to come back and do one or two appearances, it's a possibility,"Chase said in a Reddit AMA.

But how can a dead man return? As fans of the show will remember, Chase's character died on the show after he left the show in 2012. Some are speculating that should he return, a "fake death" plot could be the easiest way to go about his return. However despite the rumors, Sony addressed the speculations by saying: "At this time, Chevy is not confirmed to appear in Season 6."

In an interview with IGN, Harmon dished on "Community" season 6 transitioning from TV to online viewership. What would it be like?

"Yeah, we're not brainstorming a lot of jokes that are going to be like, 'Oh, this will be hilarious because it'll be a metaphor for Yahoo taking over Greendale,' or whatever. We're not above going down that road sometimes. If we come with an idea that really resonates with us, then we end up realizing that it resonates with us because we sort of are Greendale, and we are in a new situation. It's just as much cause for celebration as it is for concern to somebody who is a frantic, rabid fan," Harmon shared.
