Jon Hamm Returns to Parks and Recreation

News

When Parks and Recreation returns this Spring, it will bring with it the return of Jon Hamm. According to TV Line, he will return as Ed, a fired national parks employee who we saw briefly in Season 6.

Jon Hamm is probably best known for his role as the cynical, womanizing protagonist, Don Draper, on AMC’s Mad Men.

Along with the return of Jon Hamm, there’s a possibility of the return of a few of our favorite characters as well. But there’s no confirmation on anyone just yet. I hope that we’ll at least get a guest appearance from Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe, even if only briefly. Still, Jon Hamm should make a fun addition, and I’ll be excited to see the interaction between him and Amy Poehler.

And what about that time jump? Season 6 ended with a surprising twist as the story was moved forward by three years. When the comedy returns, we’ll get to see Leslie Knope as the mother of triplets, along with several other new developments.

Parks and Recreation will return for its seventh and final season this Spring with a thirteen episode run, airing on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

And Mad Men will also return Spring 2015 for its final episodes, airing on AMC. In the meantime, series encores air Sundays at 6am/5c on AMC.
