NBCIt's 2017 in Pawnee and everything is different on Parks and Recreation! In the first trailer for the farewell (sniff!) season, we get a look at how things will be three years in the future in the fictional NBC town. Drones! Terry! Andy has his own TV show!
Viewers will remember the Parks and Recreation season six finale ended with a time jump to three years into the future with Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) running a branch of the National Parks Service out of Pawnee. Jerry (Jim O'Heir) went from Larry to Terry, Ben (Adam Scott) was in a tuxedo for some reason and Jon Hamm was one of Leslie's hapless employees. Now we have a few clues about what the rest of the gang has been up to: Tom (Aziz Ansari) is the mogul he's always wanted to be, Andy (Chris Pratt) has his own TV show and April's (Aubrey Plaza) got a badass tablet.
Parks and Recreation will air its final season with back-to-back episodes starting Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. on NBC. Along for the ride are returning faces Hamm, Billy Eichner, Megan Mullally, Ben Schwartz, Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe.
"Mike Schur and Amy Poehler, along with their incredible producers, cast, and crew, have given us one of the great television comedies of all time, and we're inordinately proud of Parks and Recreation," NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement when the premiere date was announced. "In an effort to give it the send-off it deserves, we wanted to ‘eventize' the final season to maximize the impact of these episodes, which really do take the show to a new level. The highly-anticipated one-hour finale will air behind The Voice in order to lead the largest audience possible into what promises to be a very special hour of television."
