NBC Sets Premiere Date — and Finale — For PARKS AND RECREATION’s Final Season

Some bittersweet PARKS AND RECREATION news: NBC has set both its season premiere and series finale dates.

The final season will kick off on Tuesday, January 13th at 8 PM with back-to-back episodes. The show will continue that pattern until it concludes with an hour-long series finale on Tuesday, February 24th, following THE VOICE.

“Mike Schur and Amy Poehler, along with their incredible producers, cast, and crew, have given us one of the great television comedies of all time, and we’re inordinately proud of ‘Parks and Recreation,’” said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt in a statement. “In an effort to give it the send-off it deserves, we wanted to ‘eventize’ the final season to maximize the impact of these episodes, which really do take the show to a new level. The highly-anticipated one-hour finale will air behind ‘The Voice’ in order to lead the largest audience possible into what promises to be a very special hour of television.”

“Critics, viewers and all of us at NBC fell in love with this endearing, funny, heartfelt show and its authentic cast of characters,” added Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “After seven amazing seasons, saying goodbye to the folks of Pawnee will be bittersweet, so we want to give the show and its fans the most impactful final season possible.”
