The gang from Pawnee, Indiana is getting back together for a special to benefit Feeding America’s Covid-19 response on April 30 at 8:30 p.m.
The cast of the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation are reuniting over the internet to present a new story from the Pawnee universe and raise money for charity.
The story is set in the present day and centers around Leslie Knope and her determination to stay connected to her friends during the pandemic.
All of the original characters are slated to return in the 30-minute special, played by original cast members Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir, and Retta. (Other guest stars from the Pawnee universe are expected to pop in.)
“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,” said executive producer Michael Schur in a news release. “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!”
