Community stars Joel McHale and Ken Jeong are set to reunite in the upcoming second season of sitcom Animal Control.

McHale and Jeong starred alongside the likes of Donald Glover and Alison Brie as Jeff Winger and Ben Chang, respectively, in the long-running, community-college centric sitcom from 2009 to 2015.

According to Deadline, Jeong has been cast in a guest role in the second season of Animal Control. The sitcom, which is fronted by McHale, follows a group of animal workers who find that humans are a lot more complicated than their furry friends.

Animal Control will premiere on March 6. The comedy broke records as FOX's most-streamed scripted debut in delayed viewing.

Back in June, McHale revealed that Donald Glover, who played Troy Barnes, had joined the reunion movie.

Community is available to stream via Netflix in the UK, and Netflix and Hulu in the US.

Animal Control is currently not available to stream in the UK, but has recently been acquired by Channel 4.
