NBC has given Parks and Recreation an early order for a third season. This comes off news that the show’s current season will be extended to 24 episodes.
The early pickup was made in order to lock in the actors for the planned production schedule, presumably because some of them were facing other options that would conflict.
The show has been striking gold this season pretty regularly after a somewhat rocky six episode first season, so this is good news, if completely expected.
Parks and Recreation stars Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Paul Schneider, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt. It was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur.
