Amy Poehler Gives ‘Parks and Rec' Fans the Greatest Gift: The ‘Philly Justice' Trailer with Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, and Kathryn Hahn
It's not quite 'Threat Level Midnight,' but it's close — and real. Amy Poehler has revealed the faux spoof TV show trailer for 'Philly Justice,' a fake series she and 'Parks and Recreation' co-stars Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Paul Rudd, Nick Offerman, and Kathryn Hahn made for fun while filming the hit NBC sitcom. The existence of the project has been teased throughout Poehler's podcast 'Good Hang' and now, finally, its trailer is out. The tagline reads: 'Philadelphia has never been more in need of justice.' More from IndieWire Are the Young Men OK? On Some of the Season's Best Shows, Not at All See the Tricks 'Agatha All Along' Used to Walk the Witches' Road 'Parks and Rec' creator Mike Schur, producer Morgan Sackett, and stars Scott and Jones joined Poehler for world premiere of the 'Philly Justice' trailer on 'Good Hang.' 'This one is for the fans. We heard you loud and clear,' Poehler said, adding that 'Philly Justice' was conceived after looking at a cast photo on the set of 'Parks and Rec' during Season 4. That inside joke spurred a parallel to a very real David E. Kelley procedural pilot that was shot in 2005 but never aired. Dylan McDermott was part of that series; Schur and the 'Parks and Rec' writers room then wrote a 20 page script for a fictional spin on 'Philly Justice' purely for the 'Parks and Rec' cast to have. However, McDermott was asked to reprise his role for the trailer, which was never going to be released, until now. Check out the 'Philly Justice' trailer below and deduce the plot yourself. All we can say is that Poehler previously said during podcast 'Good Hang' that it was a 'shitty show' with Hahn playing a lawyer who may or may not be in a relationship with Jones' character. 'Parks and Rec' aired from 2009 to 2015 for seven seasons. The series also starred Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, Jim O'Heir, and Retta. Schur said in 2019 that if there were to be any sequel series, the whole cast would have to be on board. 'I would say we would do it if literally every person says yes. If one person says no, we shouldn't do it,' he said.
