No, you’re not hallucinating during week six (seven?) of isolation. A new episode of Parks and Recreation is coming—like, next week. Amy Poehler announced via the show’s official Twitter on Thursday that the residents of Pawnee, Indiana will reunite for a special virtual episode of the show.
Leslie Knope and co. are bringing their special brand of uplifting to a half-hour scripted special on NBC that benefits Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund. Deadline reports that all of your favorite government workers will be back for the at-home episode. Poehler will be joined by Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir, and Retta. The outlet also teases that,”Several guest stars from the Pawnee universe may pop in as well.” (Lil’ Sebastian cameo TBD.)
“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,” executive producer Michael Schur told the outlet. “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 (quarantined) Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!”
Checking in on April Ludgate’s level of disillusionment or Tom Haverford’s entrepreneurial endeavors mid-quarantine will benefit a worthy cause. State Farm and Subaru of America will make matching donations of $150,000 and the writers, producers, and cast of Parks and Recreation will match donations up to $500,000 combined through May 21. You can also make a donation here.
Parks and Recreation‘s virtual reunion will air on NBC on Thursday, April 30 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
