Earlier this year, theBaby Mamaalum revealed to the publication that she binge-watched all seven seasons of公园和娱乐with her children in quarantine.

“We turned to comedy for comfort, and we watched all of公园和娱乐, which they had never seen,” she said at the time. “And they lovedThe Office. Oh, God, we watched everything. I feel like most people watched all of the TV, all of the shows.”

Poehler portrayed Leslie Knope for all seven seasons of the NBC sitcom. Back in 2020, the cast came together for a special reunion episode that aired on the network.

Shortly after the reunion special, Michael Schur (the show’s creator) shared that he is open to a revival. “Well, I guess I’ll say what I said last time, which was: I’ll never say never,” he said, according toDigital Spy. “Again, I really didn’t think [the virtual special] was ever going to happen. But also suddenly it became a fun and neat thing to do.”
