‘Parks And Recreation’ News: Jon Hamm, Rashida Jones, Rob Lowe returning for final season

Final seasons are a wonderful thing. All sorts of people return. Even those like Rob Lowe who apparently most of the Parks and Rec cast couldn’t stand. It makes sense though. Get the gang back together! Rally them around the watering hole for one last Ritual Spit and Shit, and send them out to the pasture together.

AV Club:

We’ll be seeing more of Jon Hamm’s Ed, the most incompetent person Leslie Knope ever worked with, in the seventh and final season of Parks And Recreation. Hamm appeared in the last minute of season six’s final episode, got fired, and thanked Leslie for “the literally hundreds of opportunities” she gave him. “Goodbye, everyone!” he said cheerfully. “It’s been a great three years.”

According to showrunner Mike Schur, flashbacks to those three years will reveal what Leslie meant when she said Ed is more incompetent than even Terry (Larry Gergich, nee Jerry). “If I have my way, every episode where you see events that take place before that moment will include a shot of him doing something insanelyincompetent,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

Meanwhile, TV Line also reports that Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe will be returning to their roles as Ann and Chris, who left Pawnee for Michigan during season six. So far they are slated to appear in just one episode.

Bummed the show is ending. Glad everyone is going to make an appearance.
