Schur released a statement about getting the cast back together for the special saying; “I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old Parks and Rec team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!”
The special will air on NBC April 30th with donations open until May 21st.
