Your favourite troupe of dysfunctional local bureaucrats is back.
The original cast members of beloved US sitcom Parks and Recreation, including Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt and Aziz Ansari, will reprise their roles for a 30-minute coronavirus special.
Here's what we know.
The Parks Department will be working from home
The new episode will be filmed inside each cast member's house.
As for plot, all we know is that Pawnee, Indiana, civil servant Leslie Knope (Poehler), head of the local Parks Department, is trying to stay connected with friends and colleagues during these times of social distancing.
If that's the case … it won't be the first time the show has dealt with infections diseases. In season three, a bad flu ripped through Pawnee and Tom Haverford (Ansari) practised a rather extreme form of hygiene etiquette.
The new episode, which will air in the US on April 30, will be a fundraiser for the charity Feeding America
"Many are saying it's the greatest episode of television ever to be filmed in quarantine," Pratt wrote on Instagram.
"It's not a competition. But if it was … we would easily win."
It's not clear where you can watch it
The series, which ended in 2015, is available to Australians who have accounts with streaming services Amazon Prime Video, Foxtel or Stan.
Stan said it was not aware at this stage of plans for the special in Australia, while a spokesperson for Amazon Prime Video said it would not be coming to the platform. We're waiting to hear back from Foxtel.
The special may be available as an on-demand rental through platforms like Apple TV.
"Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money," executive producer and series co-creator Michael Schur said in a statement.
"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!"
Fans are understandably pumped
This news has, unsurprisingly, been well-received by Parks and Rec stans:
Parks and Rec was nominated for 14 Emmys in its time, including twice for Outstanding Comedy Series, but surprisingly — in an Emmys snub that rivals The Wire — never won a thing.
Pratt and Parks and Rec writer Megan Amram hope this is their chance to put things right.
"You get another episode of @nbcparksandrec on April 30th on NBC. People in need get help. And we FINALLY get that Emmy," Pratt wrote.
"That's how this works?"
