Rashida Jones dreamed of a ‘Parks and Recreation’ spinoff—will fans get a new show?
Rashida Jones has been dreaming of reuniting with her ‘Parks and Recreation’ family since 2009. After playing the iconic role of Ann Perkins on the NBC sitcom, Jones always wanted a spinoff of the show, which could come as a huge surprise for fans.
A random idea that almost came true!
In April, when the show celebrated 15 years since its first premiere, Jones opened up about it in an interview with The Independent. She revealed that she and her co-stars had a fun and interesting idea that almost became a reality!
“The season that had Paul Rudd and Kathryn Hahn was the best,” Jones said, recalling seasons 4 and 7. **Rudd, 55, and Hahn, 50, gave stellar performances as Sweetums heir *Bobby Newport* and political strategist Jane Barclay as they unsuccessfully tried to defeat Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) in the city council election.
Imagine a 90s-style legal drama!
Jones revealed that during a downtime on set, she took a picture with Katherine, Amy, Adam Scott, and Paul Rudd and imagined a fun fantasy show.
“We thought we’d all be playing law clerks in a 90s David Kelley-style legal drama ‘Philly Justice’ where the story would be set in Philadelphia!” said Jones, also naming the creator of hit shows The Practice’ and ‘L.A. Law’.
Now the question is—will this divine spinoff idea ever be made a reality? 🤔🔥

“We shot 15 pages of a show that didn’t really exist!”
How did the idea of ‘Philly Justice’ start?
‘Parks and Recreation’ co-creator Mike Schur has previously talked about the spinoff. At a 2012 PaleyFest panel, he revealed that it all started with a funny photo taken on set of Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, Paul Rudd, and Rashida Jones.
Schur explained, “They were on set, and they had someone take that picture, and then all of a sudden they started pretending that they were all Philadelphia lawyers, and it was a show called ‘Philly Justice’!”
The actors’ obsession—a fake show, real obsession!
He added, “It’s hard to explain how deeply this idea became. These five actors became so devoted to this fake show that they were determined to make it real!”
