Parks and Recreation actresses Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones reunite in a delightful TikTok video, rekindling the beloved friendship of their characters, Leslie and Ann. Originally airing on NBC in 2009, the popular show enjoyed a successful run of seven seasons until its conclusion in 2015. Leslie and Ann's enduring and comical bond is one of the highlights of the series, as their paths intertwine in the first season, leading to a close friendship. Now, after eight years since the Parks and Recreation finale, Poehler shares an entertaining TikTok video of her and Jones enjoying each other's company. Watch the TikTok video below:

Will A Parks & Recreation Revival Ever Happen?
It has been nearly ten years since the conclusion of Parks and Recreation's successful seven-season run, and the series continues to be adored by fans. Just like The Office, another hit show created by Michael Schur, there have been constant calls for a revival of the beloved NBC sitcom ever since its finale aired in 2015. Last year, Amy Poehler herself expressed her openness to returning for a Parks and Recreation revival if the opportunity ever arises.
Poehler is not the only cast member who wants to come back for a revival. In 2018, Chris Pratt stated that he would be willing to reprise his role as Andy Dwyer. It is likely that other original cast members would also be open to returning, as evidenced by a pandemic-themed episode of Parks and Recreation that aired in 2020. The episode was recorded remotely over Zoom, but the fact that many familiar faces returned indicates the actors' continued connection to the series.
However, given that many of the actors are now successful and busy with other projects, it is possible that not everyone would be able to return for a Parks and Recreation revival due to scheduling conflicts. Pratt, in particular, has become a highly sought-after star after his roles in films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. Whether or not Parks and Recreation will have a big comeback episode, special, movie, or limited run is still uncertain. Nevertheless, the close relationships among the cast members in their personal lives suggest a strong possibility.
