The upcoming standalone story will see the Pawnee gang return for a socially distanced reunion special.
For those itching to revisit the streets of Pawnee, unfortunately you won't be able to see any of the show's iconic sets; the whole episode was shot from the cast members' various homes, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Michael Shur, Rob Lowe, Retta, Adam Scott, Nick Offerman, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, and Jim O'Heir attend the Paley Center For Media's 2019 PaleyFest LA -"Parks And Recreation" 10th Anniversary Reunion held at the Dolby Theater on March 21, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.
"Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money," Schur said in a statement."I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old 'Parks and Rec' team has put together one more 30-minute slice of Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it.
Of course, the network agreed that Leslie Knope was a perfect choice to bring some light in a difficult time."In such uncertain times, we can't think of anyone better than Leslie Knope to unite our country with her unbridled enthusiasm and compassion," NBC Entertainment co-presidents of scripted programming Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta said in a statement.
Besides benefiting a great cause, it's also an opportunity for fans to check in on their favorite characters and see how they respond to a global pandemic. It's easy to imagine that Tom and Donna have taken the time for a virtual treat-yo'-self day of extravagant online shopping, and that Ron's wondering why the government is telling him he's not allowed to go out for a meal.
