Everything we know about the Parks and Recreation reunion episode
reunion special: "Nobody has had or is currently suffering from COVID-19." He added that "the whole special is not about the disease, honestly. It's about people coping with it and sort of trying to navigate in their daily lives." While Ann is a working nurse, the special gives her a moment to explain how she does mostly outpatient work, meaning she's not on the front line of treating coronavirus cases.
With a special reunion episode in mind, Schur got fellow executive producer Morgan Sackett to direct and called in six of the show's former writers to work on it with him. They wrote the script in two and a half days, the scripts were shipped out to the cast along with iPhones and special camera rigs for everyone to record themselves, and the episode was shot over four days, with workarounds explaining why the show's married characters happen to not be in the same room.
