Parks and Recreation bid adieu to viewers five years back after seven glorious seasons, so imagine our delight and surprise when we came across this tweet from Adam Scott just a bit ago:
New Parks episode in one week! Can’t wait for everyone to see it... https://t.co/4yK66hZVzr

That's right: The goings on of Pawnee, Indiana will continue to, erm, go on—at least for one night. The episode airs next Thursday, April 30 at 8:30pm ET on NBC and benefits Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund. As Deadline points out, the timely scripted ep follows Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) as she tries to keep in touch with the gang virtually, and the cast (Poehler and Scott, as well as Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir and Retta) is all onboard.
Here's what Parks co-creator Michael Schur had to say about it: "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."
We're sure we will. In the meantime, be sure to check out the best movies on Hulu and party games to play remotely.
