This Is What the Stars of Parks and Recreation Are Doing Next

Soon we’ll say farewell to the motley crew that began their careers at the Parks and Recreation Department in Pawnee, Indiana — but the cast of Parks and Recreation are moving on to bigger and better things.

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

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

Thanks to Parks and Recreation, Chris Pratt went from a doofus who fell down a hole to a bona fide movie star. 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

Aubrey Plaza’s surly but lovable April Ludgate earned her the attention of Hollywood studios. 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

Nick Offerman is moving from one small Midwestern town to another. The mustachioed comedian will star in season two of the FX dramedy Fargo, which takes place in 1979 Minnesota, later this year.

He also has several movies coming out soon: A Walk in the Woods with Robert Redford, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl with Connie Britton and Knight of Cups with Natalie Portman.

Aziz Ansari

Just as Parks and Recreation wraps, Aziz Ansari has a new Netflix comedy special, Aziz Ansari: Live at Madison Square Garden, premiering on March 6. The standup comic has also signed a deal to write a book on modern romance.

On television, Ansari has a recurring role on Bob’s Burgers as the voice of Darryl.

Adam Scott

Adam Scott is taking on a wide range of roles in the next year: Right now, fans can catch him in Hot Tub Time Machine 2, but he also starred in the indie rom-com Sleeping With Other People, which premiered at Sundance in February and will be released later this year. Additionally, the actor will take a serious turn in the upcoming Black Mass, which is based on the true story of Boston gangster Whitey Bulger. The cast makes it sound like surefire awards bait: other featured performers in the film include Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnny Depp, Sienna Miller and Fifty Shades of Grey’s Dakota Johnson.

Rashida Jones

Rashida Jones officially exited Parks and Recreation last season, but she’s kept busy since. Her production company produced the NBC romantic comedy A to Z (which has since been canceled) and is working on another NBC comedy loosely based on Peter Pan called Wendy and Peter.

She’s also been active as a performer, starring in the Steve Carell-created TBS series Angie Tribeca and will be a voice in the animated film B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations alongside Seth Rogen, Melissa McCarthy, Bill Murray and Octavia Spencer.

Rob Lowe

Expect to see Rob Lowe on your TV screen again soon: Fox has ordered a pilot for a comedy about lawyers starring Lowe called The Grinder. He’s also set to star in a 10-part NBC series called Apocalypse Slaugh with Jenna Fischer and Megan Mullally.

On the silver screen, he will appear in the summer film Monster Trucks with Danny Glover.

Retta

Retta, who has guest starred on The Kroll Show, Drunk History and Key and Peele in the last year, is rumored to be starring in a movie called Tax Season in 2015. It’s safe to assume that she will continue with her other calling: live-tweeting shows like Scandal.

Jim O’Heir

Jim O’Heir has roles in seven movies lined up, according to IMDb, including a movie about two high schoolers who end up in the wrong car for a field trip called Bad Night starring Happy Endings’ Casey Wilson and 30 Rock‘s Jack McBrayer.
