In seven seasons, the show has made stars of Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman and boosted the profiles of Amy Poehler and Adam Scott. Here’s what the all-star cast will be up to next. ### Amy Poehler  BEVERLY HILLS, CA - OCTOBER 15: Amy Poehler at the "Parks & Recreation" Press Conference at the Four Seasons Hotel on October 15, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Vera Anderson/WireImage) Vera Anderson—WireImage Amy Poehler may be leaving Pawnee, but she won’t be leaving screens anytime soon. She’ll voice Joy in Pixar’s next movie, _Inside Out_, before teaming up again with fellow Golden Globes host Tina Fey for a film called _Sisters._ The film follows two estranged adult sisters who throw a party at their parents’ house and will hit theaters in December. She’ll also join Bradley Cooper and Elizabeth Banks in Netflix’s revival of _Wet Hot American Summer_. Poehler’s been busy behind the scenes, too, with her production company Paper Kite Productions. She’s a producer for _Broad City_ on Comedy Central and Hulu’s upcoming comedy _Difficult_ _People_. She’s also developing a church comedy for NBC, the former home of _Parks and Recreation._ ### Chris Pratt  PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 16: Actor Chris Pratt of "Parks and Recreation" poses for a portrait during the NBCUniversal TCA Press Tour at The Langham Huntington, Pasadena on January 16, 2015 in Pasadena, California.

Pratt will star in four — yep, _four_ — major movie franchises in the next few years. He will return as Emmet in a sequel to _The Lego Movie_ as well as Star Lord in what’s sure to be many _Guardians of the Galaxy_ followups and _Avengers_ crossovers. He’s also starring in revivals of both the _Jurassic Park_ and _Indiana Jones_ franchises. As if playing the leading man in the highest-grossing franchises in Hollywood weren’t enough, Pratt is also in talks for roles in the western _The Magnificent Seven_ with Denzel Washington, and a space drama called _Passengers_ opposite Jennifer Lawrence. ### Aubrey Plaza  STUDIO CITY, CA - OCTOBER 16: Aubrey Plaza attends the NBC 'Parks And Recreation' 100th Episode Celebration held at CBS Studios - Radford on October 16, 2013 in Studio City, California.

She’s already juggled _Parks and Recreation_ with movies like _Safety Not Guaranteed_, _The To Do List_ and _Life After Beth._ Next, she’s set to star with Judy Greer in a film called _Fresno_ about two co-dependent sisters_._ But her most anticipated upcoming feature is a comedy called _Dirty Grandpa_ with Zac Efron and Robert De Niro, in which she’ll play De Niro’s love interest. Yep, you read that correctly. ### Nick Offerman  PARKS AND RECREATION -- Season: 6 -- Pictured: Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson -- (Photo by: Chris Haston/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank) Chris Haston—NBC/Getty Images Nick Offerman is moving from one small Midwestern town to another.
