Amy Poehler returns to lead the cast as Leslie Knope in season four of NBC’s popular half-hour comedy series, Parks and Recreation. Season four will premiere on September 22, 2011 with an episode that finds Leslie running for office.
The series also stars Rashida Jones as Ann Perkins, Aziz Ansari as Tom Haverford, Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson, and Aubrey Plaza as April Ludgate. Chris Pratt stars as Andy Dwyer, Jim O’Heir is Jerry Gergich, Paul Schneider plays Mark Brendanawicz, Adam Scott is Ben Wyatt, and Rob Lowe plays Chris Traeger.
The Plot: Parks and Recreation follows Leslie Knope (Poehler) a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, and her tireless efforts to make her quintessentially American town just a little bit more fun.
Leslie’s office mate is Tom Haverford (Ansari), a fashion-obsessed wannabe player whose greatest dream is to own his own nightclub. Leslie’s boss, Ron Swanson (Offerman), hates the very government he works for, and sports one of the most impressive mustaches on primetime television. Rounding out the cast are Leslie’s best friend Ann (Jones), her ex-boyfriend Andy (Chris Pratt), and Ron’s assistant, April (Plaza).
In season four, Leslie Knope decides to run for Pawnee, Indiana City Council, but many obstacles stand in the way of her quest to serve her beloved hometown.
