Amy Poehleris down for aParks and Recreationreboot!
The 47-year-old comedian and actress said that she is “Avengers-style ready” to work on a revival in her interview withEntertainment Weeklyahead of the release of her directorial debutWine Country.
“I’m like [herParks and Reccharacter] Leslie Knope in one way, which is that I am not good at playing it cool,” Poehler said, adding, “So if there was an actual thing happening, you’d probably be able to pry it out of me pretty fast.”
“[Series creator] Mike Schur, our captain, is working on like, 50 shows right now but I have my suit ready,” she continued. “I’mAvengers-styleready to put it on at any time. Again, I should probably play harder to get but that’s really not me or Leslie’s style so you know, I’m avail.”
The beloved NBC sitcom, which starred Poehler alongsideChris Pratt, Rashida Jones,Rob LoweandNick Offerman, among others, ended in 2015 after seven seasons and justcelebrated its 10th-anniversarylast month.

Poehlervoiced a similar sentiment in December 2018, saying that she was “available” to put endlessly optimistic local government employee Leslie Knope’s blazer back on again.
“I am technically available,” the actress toldVarietyat Smart Girls’ 10th-anniversary celebration dinner, joking, “I have like six of Leslie’s blazers in my closet, so anytime.”
On hand were Schur, as well as stars Poehler, Pratt, Lowe, Offerman, Jones,Aubrey Plaza,Aziz Ansari,Adam Scott,Retta, and evenJim O’Heir.
Among a plethora of anecdotes from the cast regarding their cherished time on the show, Schur, 43, also talked onscreen reunion potential forParks and Rec— namely, that it is not out of the question.

“We would all have to feel like there was a story that needed to be told,” he said, explaining that everyone from both the cast and primary creative team would need to be on board.
“The show was about the power of public service and doing good with a team. I don’t think we left anything on the table,” Schur added.
Last May, Poehler and Offerman both toldEllen DeGeneresthat they would jump at the chance for aParks and Recreboot— but only ifBeyoncéjoined the cast. “We said if Beyoncé will play the mayor, we’ll bring the show back,” Offerman joked.
Kidding aside, Poehler once again seemed game to return. “I’ll speak for everybody and say we would all do it,” she said. “I think we would all do it someday. It would be amazing.”
