Production

On May 10, 2013, NBC announced it had renewed the series for a fifth season, to consist of 13 episodes.[13] The season does not feature original cast member Chevy Chase, who left the series near the end of the fourth season by mutual agreement between the actor and network.[14] Donald Glover, who portrays Troy Barnes, will only appear in five of the thirteen episodes.[15] Jonathan Banks will appear in 11 of the season's 13 episodes as criminology professor Buzz Hickey.[16] Rob Corddry will reprise his role as lawyer Alan Connor in the season premiere.[16] Walton Goggins will guest star in an episode as a mysterious man named Mr. Stone, "with a dangerous accusation, a tantalizing offer and a devious plan that will change the group forever."[17] John Oliver, who played Professor Duncan throughout the first two seasons, will reprise his role in season 5, for a nine episode arc.[18] Other guest stars in the season will include Vince Gilligan, Mitchell Hurwitz, Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Brie Larson, Nathan Fillion, Robert Patrick, Paget Brewster, Kumail Nanjiani, Katie Leclerc, and Ben Folds.[19] David Cross will guest star in an episode that serves as a sequel to season 2's "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", he will play Hank Hickey, the estranged son of Professor Hickey.[20]

Season 5 began shooting on August 19, 2013.[21]

The fifth season sees the return of series creator Dan Harmon as showrunner and executive producer after he was fired from the show after the end of the third season. Also returning is former writer-producer Chris McKenna, who is also now an executive producer. Season 4 showrunners Moses Port and David Guarascio are not returning for season 5, as they just had a one-year deal.[22] The only other returning writers are Andy Bobrow and Tim Saccardo, as Annie Mebane, Steve Basilone, Maggie Bandur, and Ben Wexler all departed to join The Michael J. Fox Show, while Megan Ganz joined Modern Family.[23][24] Joining the writing staff for the fifth season are Parker Deay and Jordan Blum (American Dad!), Alex Rubens (Key & Peele), Ryan Ridley (who is a part of Harmon's upcoming Adult Swim series, Rick & Morty), Dan Guterman (The Colbert Report), and Matt Roller (Funny or Die).[25] Other writers in the staff include Carol Kolb, Briggs Hatton, Clay Lapari, Erik Sommers, Monica Padrick and Donald Diego.[26][27]
