Yahoo Screen has announced the date on which Greendale Community College will re-open its doors.

The beloved sitcom will return with back-to-back (online!) episodes on March 17.

Despite the move off television, Community will still air on a weekly basis, as Yahoo confirms it will not take on the Netflix model of streaming all Season 6 episodes at once.

A new installment will air each Tuesday.

"I'm not writing this as if it's the end," Harmon said today at the show's 2015 TCA Winter Press Tour panel.

"I'm very naïve about how these things work so I just stick with a very sixth-grade mentality about it. This show has lived by the sword of the very intimate relationship it has with the fans and it needs to die by that sword. I would never feel very comfortable walking away from any version of Community that exists."

Aside from the major change of airing on the Internet, Community Season 6 will also see a cast overhaul:

Yvette Nicole Brown is out; neither Jonathan Banks nor John Oliver is expected to appear; and Paget Brewster and Keith David are on board as series regulars.

Still: there's Joel McHale and Alison Brie and Dan Harmon is in charge and.. yeah. Is it March 17 yet?!?
