Not even a pandemic can keep Leslie Knope from trying to save the world. The cast of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” is reuniting for a single episode next Thursday to raise money for Feeding America’s COVID – 19 Response Fund, according to a press release from NBC.
Along with Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, the special half-hour episode will see the return of cast members Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Retta, Rob Lowe, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, and Jim O’Heir. The episode will air on April 45 at 8: 30 pm ET / PT on NBC. The release said “several guest stars from the Pawnee universe may pop in,” too.
The episode is based on the present-day pandemic and will follow Leslie Knope as She attempts to stay connected with her former Pawnee Parks Department co-workers in the age of social distancing, according to Entertainment Tonight .
Pratt, who portrays the fictional small town’s beloved rock star Andy Dwyer, posted about the reunion on Instagram. He said the episode has already been filmed and that “many are saying it’s the greatest episode of television ever to be filmed in Quarantine. It’s not a competition. But if it was … we would easily win.”
