In the series finale of “Parks and Recreation,” Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) looked around at all of the changes coming for her friends in Pawnee, Ind. and asked her husband Ben (Adam Sco…
“That’s all I want: all of these people, in the same place, in the same time,” she said.The finale did show a few of those somedays, as it jumped in time to show Leslie and Ben visiting Pawnee from their new home of Washington, D.C. to consider which of them should run for governor. But now, the show is bringing everyone back together again for a one-off half-hour special episode — something that might have never happened if not for the coronavirus pandemic.
that would be produced remotely, set in present day, directly addressing the self-quarantine situation and raising money for Feeding America“I think any sort of food insecurity is something that needs to be addressed whether we’re in the middle of a pandemic or not,” says Scott. “It, along with healthcare, is something that no one in our country should have to worry about. It just felt right that the ‘Parks and Rec’ reunion would be to help people.
Not all of the characters are even still in Pawnee, as Donna and Joe moved to Seattle by this point. But because of the nature of digital technology, everyone is able to check in with each other easily, to ensure they are healthy, safe, and abiding by the appropriate social distancing practices to slow the spread of the virus. Of course it all starts with Leslie and her ebullient organization skills. And yes, even Ron Swanson is willing to use technology for this purpose.
For Retta, who plays Donna, finding the character again came as soon as she heard Aziz Ansari read his first few lines as Tom Haverford, she shares. “Aziz is very Tom, so I immediately went into Donna mode as a result. It didn’t take too much!” she says. At first, she says she wanted to shoot in her laundry room because she has this “giant demon warrior figure in there from Halloween,” and that feels like something April might have lying around the house. But when there were concerns the figure might be a licensed character, she pivoted to her garage.
Although the cast had read the script together over a virtual table read on Zoom, they shot their scenes without scene partners. With Schur, Sackett and a script supervisor on Zoom, they received guidance on how to frame shots or when to try a line a different way, sometimes based on adlibs from other actors who had already shot their parts.
