Overview

• The idea for 'Philly Justice' originated in 2012 when the Parks and Recreation cast joked about looking like characters in a courtroom drama during a photo shoot in business attire.
• Over time, the cast and writers collaborated to create a 20-page pilot script, character backstories, and a trailer using existing Parks and Recreation sets.
• Amy Poehler debuted the previously unreleased trailer on her May 20, 2025 episode of the Good Hang podcast, alongside producer Mike Schur and other cast members.
• The spoof, styled as a David E. Kelley-inspired legal drama, featured Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, and Dylan McDermott in key roles.
• While the trailer's release has reignited fan enthusiasm, no plans have been confirmed to develop 'Philly Justice' into an actual series.
