"Parks and Recreation" premiered in 2009 and ran for seven seasons on NBC. Originally conceived as a spin-off of "The Office," (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-poehler/new-office-for-amy-poehler-idUSN1637136920080716) the cult favorite series is centered on Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and the quirky characters of the Parks and Recreation department of Pawnee, Indiana, as Knope strives to make her community a better place. While critics loved (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/parks_and_recreation) the workplace comedy, it struggled year after year to stay on the air (https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/parks-and-recreation-finale-nbc/).
"The cast, crew, and writers spent a decent amount of time worrying about getting canceled, we nervously waited for our (usually) very low ratings mornings after we aired and, every season, we prayed that we would get picked up," recalled Rashida Jones, who played Ann Perkins, to People (https://people.com/tv/rashida-jones-parks-and-recreation-10-anniversary/). The show gained a loyal following, thanks to relatable characters like Leslie's earnest do-gooder and Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson, a crusty boss with a heart of gold.
"This cast is about as close to perfect as you'll find on TV," Garrett Martin wrote for Paste Magazine (https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/parks-and-recreation/parks-and-recreation-review-the-bubblelil-sebastia/) in 2011. The series was a springboard for the careers of several members of the talented ensemble cast. Before "Parks and Rec," Aziz Ansari was doing sketch comedy, Chris Pratt was mostly a TV actor, and Aubrey Plaza was just getting started. A lot has happened since then. As for what all the actors are up to now, we've got everything you need to know.
