NBC also canceled dramas "Revolution," "Crisis," "Believe," and the comedy "Growing Up Fisher," about a blind dad. It renewed "Hannibal" for a third season.
"Community" never attracted a large audience, but enjoyed a rabid Internet following.
Star Joel McHale tweeted his thanks to the fans.
Even the return of creator Dan Harmon for Season 5 couldn't save the show. The finale garnered 2.9 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic.
Though NBC has said goodbye, the show could find new life through another medium. Sony Pictures TV, which produces the show, is shopping it to cable or a streaming service like Netflix. Comedy Central already bought the show in syndication, while Hulu owns the digital rights.
Fans created a Twitter hashtag, #Sixseasonsandamovie, which references a Season 2 episode in which Abed (Danny Pudi) and Jeff (McHale) discuss the short-lived NBC series "The Cape," and many also used #RIPCommunity.
