Amy Poehler says a reunion could be on the cards for one of our favourite sitcoms

Parks and Rec

Do you want to know what the best thing about the United States of America is?

It’s not the Grand Canyon. It’s not the fast food. It’s that they have Parks and Recreation on Netflix.

The show, which ended in 2015, was beloved by fans — and now its star, Amy Poehler, has hinted that she’d be perfectly happy for the show to make a comeback.

Speaking yesterday at an NBC event, Poehler said she was technically available for a new season of the show. Asked about a timeline, things got a bit more hazy: “God, I have no idea. Everybody has my number…we all have a text chain and talk to each other almost everyday. So I think everybody would be excited to do some version of it — hopefully on ice.”

Parks and Rec featured a star-studded cast, serving as the breakthrough role for such names as Christ Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman and Billy Eichner.

It also featured Rob Lowe, Adam Scott and Rashida Jones.

The show was made by Fremulon, a production company founded by Michael Schur that has since produced such hits as Master of None, Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place.
