Things We Presume to Know About the Amy Poehler Office Non-spinoff

As outlined by Office Tally:

—  Produced by Office showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Shur, the cast includes Poehler, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, and a newcomer straight from the Upright Citzens Brigade - Aubrey Plaza.

—  Though shot in a documentary style similar to The Office, there are no direct plot or character ties to the show.

—  Poehler’s character serves as deputy chairman of The Department of Parks and Recreation in Pawnee, Indiana. Rashida Jones plays Poehler’s best friend. Plaza will play April, an intern who shadows the deputy chairman.

—  The series will begin shooting next month for an April NBC premiere.

—  Poehler: [It’s] “like Tina Turner in [1985’s Mad Max] Beyond Thunderdome. I am a boss; I have an office. It’s a whole different world. It’s not a spin-off, it’s a whole different place.”
