Aubrey Plaza would do a Parks and Rec reboot on one strict condition

Set to star in a new Marvel series, Plaza's not against returning to April Ludgate's shoes

No matter how many new shows and films get made, many of us often rush back to our favourites for a re-watch binge.

Netflix can keep adding new series for us to be ‘hooked’ on but they’ll just never beat those classic sitcoms as our ultimate comfort watch.

And of course, one of those popular shows has to be the iconic Parks and Recreation. The mockumentary had us all obsessed with the town of Pawnee and Leslie Knope’s dedication to the department.

With star Amy Poehler as a producer and writer, it also launched the likes of Aubrey Plaza into the spotlight. Since then, the 40-year-old has appeared in the likes of The White Lotus, Legion and The To Do List.

And pretty soon, she’ll be landing on Disney+ in Marvel’ s latest series, Agatha All Along.

Also starring the likes of Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke and Patti LuPone, we’ll finally get to see how Agatha Harkness is getting on after Wanda stole all of her powers.

However, a new dose of Plaza on our screens still doesn’t keep us from wishing we still had Parks and Rec to watch. But, good news, the improv icon told UNILAD she would reappear as April Ludgate for a reboot on one strict condition.

Co-star Rashida Jones also previously spoke to us about how she’d totally be down for it ‘anytime, any day’.

"If there's a reason and somebody says, ‘Let's do it’, I think every single one of us would say yes,” the Ann Perkins actor said.

The cast have reunited before for A Parks and Recreation Special in 2020 but that was just a pandemic zoom call – we want the real thing.

And Plaza explained her (pretty simple) condition: “I mean, I will do whatever Amy Poehler wants to do. I do whatever she does. If she's in, I'm in. If she's out, I'm out.”

Well, come on Poehler, give the people what they want!

The legendary comedian did actually previously tell PEOPLE she’s ‘always standing by’ to be reunited with the Parks and Rec crew, adding: “Anytime anybody gives me the word, and I’m down.”

So, who knows when (or if) we’ll get a reboot of the iconic sitcom, but we will be seeing Plaza with Leslie Knope’s rival Jen Barkley (Hahn) for Agatha All Along.

And she told UNILAD how while she may have previously auditioned for Marvel roles in the past, ‘this is where she belongs’.

The upcoming series sees Plaza being ‘so witch’ as Agatha pulls together a coven and heads down the Witches Road ‘on a dangerous, mysterious adventure filled with trials and tribulations’.

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along premiere on Disney+ on 18 September.
