How parks and recreation could be reborn, by Mike Schur – / Movie

Parks and Recreation had seven perfect seasons on NBC, which was enough for many of his fans. But we are in the era of awakening and reboots, so at the meeting of the PaleyFest show, actors and creators Mike Schur and Greg Daniels inevitably asked the question: could we expect Parks and Recreation the comeback? Only under a very specific condition, Schur replied.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the beginning of Parks and Recreation, creators Mike Schur and Greg Daniels as well as all the actors – including Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Jim O'Heir and Rob Lowe – gathered at Paleyfest to discuss the beloved show and its lasting impact. The meeting reminded fans of the gaping hole that Parks and Recreation left in our hearts, which leads to this dreaded question: when does an awakening occur?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Schur seemed to resist this idea and said that a Parks and Recreation the relaunch would only take place if an extremely specific set of conditions were fulfilled. "Everyone on this stage – and like six other people – should have the feeling that there was a story to tell," said Schur. But Schur added, "The series had an argument to make," and he felt he had managed to do it. He elaborated:

"The argument was about teamwork, friendship and positivity, being optimistic, not becoming cynical and believing that people can do good, believe in the power of public service and believe that if you work hard and that you have a cool head around you who are part of your team, that good things are possible. That you realize the goals you want to achieve, and I do not feel like we have left something on the table. I have the impression that the show has somehow put forward its argument. And we also – maybe it looked like a preventive measure or something – we really grew from one year to the next, like 2074. "

The beauty of Parks and Recreation, which took place from 2009 to 2015, is that its ambitious tone and optimistic characters are universal – making it a show that would not be moved if it were restarted today, contrary to what says Arrested development, whose comedy style is very present at the origin. But Schur has continued to build this ambitious quality in other broadcasts like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The right placeso there's really no need for one Parks and Recreation the comeback. Schur is right Parks and Recreation made his argument and did his part – let the perfect shows be.

But it seems that the Parks and Recreation The cast would be on board if Schur changed his mind and gave the green light. Poehler told THR that she would be 100% aboard if Schur was on board, saying, "I'm not cool, so from the first minute, I've been as if I've been on board. was down. Tell me where to go, I will erase my schedule. "

Offerman and Plaza were also in the same boat, although Plaza had already told THRit that he was feeling "too early" for a restart. "" It's hard to recreate magic, [so] not yet. But I want to be around [the cast] All the time. They are the best. "

" I will do everything Parks and Rec as long as the brass is behind, "added Offerman." I mean, I still collect every day the gifts this show brings me, and I do not imagine I'll ever feel like I've got them all. reimbursed. "
