Following the forgettable Dan Harmon-less Season 4, Community returns this winter with a new role played by Emmy-nominated, Breaking Bad hitman Jonathan Banks. Thats right, Mike from Breaking Bad is slotted to play, “Pat Nichols, an intense criminology professor with a mysterious background in military and police work.”
He will be introduce in episode two when Annie enrolls in his criminology class. Banks has been cast in 11/13 episodes for Season 5. Needless to say, he’s going to have a meaningful presence this season.
Hopefully Banks is able to bring something new and fresh to the table considering Donald Glover and Chevy Chase won’t be reprising their usual, weighty roles as Troy Barnes and Pierce Hawthorne.
