Big news coming out of Pawnee, Indiana. The reunion special of the beloved NBC sitcom
Parks & Recreation, which ended its broadcast run five years ago in 2015, will air April 30 on NBC, and a lingering mystery from the series' finale could finally be revealed.
On April 30, NBC will air a new episode of
Parks & Recreation that stars everyone from the main cast, plus some special guests. Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari,
Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Retta, Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, and Jim O’Heir all return to reprise their memorable roles. Of the additional faces, series creator Michael Schur told
Entertainment Weekly, "The first face you see on camera will not be one of the ten main cast members... and that sort of sets the tone for the show in general."
Shot over iPhone with the entire cast at home and practicing social distancing, the episode will take place in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic but will not feature any characters explicitly suffering from the disease
