(You know, since at the end of the previous season they jumped ahead three years. Continuity.) Now, thanks to this new, science fiction-tinged trailer, we get a glimpse into what life is like the near future. (Spoiler: there will be drones.) All your favorite Pawneeans are back, but they’ve definitely changed. Andy, for example, now has his own TV show. Jerry now goes by Terry (against his will, obviously). Tom’s now a mogul (or so he claims). Otherwise, we’re all just going to have to tune in on Jan. 13 to figure out what else is going on. Our only major hope is that there’s a Li’l Sebastian statue somewhere by 2017. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3638576/final-season-parks-and-rec-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3638576/final-season-parks-and-rec-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch the Trailer for the Final Season of Parks and Rec, Set in the Future","datePublished":"2014-12-17T20:01:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:26.171Z","description":"Jerry's new name is Terry, for instance","url":"https://time.com/3638576/final-season-parks-and-rec-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","parks and recreation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e7a23ac85154950/69876f908e0601649d4594ca/screen-shot-2014-12-17-at-2-47-43-pm1.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e7a23ac85154950/69876f908e0601649d4594ca/screen-shot-2014-12-17-at-2-47-43-pm1.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-12-17 at 2.47.43 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3638576/final-season-parks-and-rec-trailer/","name":"Watch the Trailer for the Final Season of Parks and Rec, Set in the Future"}}]}] ```
