SPOILER ALERT: The Season 6 finale of Parks and Receration shocked and delighted fans when they jumped forward three years. Not only did we get a sweet cameo from Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, but the show also managed to speed past Leslie Knope’s pregnancy. The hit Amy Poehler show has already been renewed for a seventh and possibly final season. Now the show’s executive producer, Mike Schur is opening up about the what is store for future of Pawnee.
At the end of last week’s episode the show flashed forward to three years in the future. TV Line recently spoke to Parks & Rec executive producer Mike Schur about the twist ending for Season 6 and how they crafted the busy scene:
“We were very deliberate in who we showed in that jump forward. The only people you see are Ben, Andy, April and Gary/Larry/Terry/Gerry. We didn’t say where Andy and April were working. We don’t know where Ron is or Tom or Donna or any of the other characters we don’t see. We still have our [old] set. [Laughs] Obviously, she’s working two floors above her old stomping grounds, so I would imagine we’ll spend at least a little bit of time there next year.”
Schur went on to add that we could meet some new cast members next year:
“That’s part of the fun of doing something that shakes up the world like this. You get to conceive of new characters and new worlds and new journeys. We definitely have our work cut out for us, and we don’t want to leave behind the parts of the show that people have come to really love and enjoy over the years. But at the same time, we get to explore the possibility of adding new people. … At the very least, there’s the opportunity to create an entirely new office for [Leslie] filled with new people who are recurring. We haven’t made any final decisions about that or who those people would be or how they would fit into the world. But I would imagine you’ll be seeing some new faces, certainly.”
