Retta reveals details about 'Parks and Rec' cast group chat
Share this @internewscast.com

The “Parks and Recreation” cast will always be family.

Retta, who played Donna Meagle on the hit NBC sitcom, exclusively told The Post that the cast is still in touch — and often.

“We have a group text where everyone shares graduations, birthdays, and the fun moments when we bump into old crew members. It’s common for many of us to end up working with people from the original show, so whenever we meet someone from the crew, we share pictures,” she mentioned.

The mockumentary series featuring Retta, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Paul Schneider, and Jim O’Heir was set in a fictional Indiana town’s Parks Department.

After seven seasons, the series ended in Feb. 2015.

While discussing the new season of HGTV’s “Ugliest House in America” with The Post, Retta confirmed that she would “definitely” be interested in participating in a “Parks and Recreation” reunion project.

The “Good Girls” alum also revealed that she watched Scott’s hit Apple TV+ drama series “Severance.”

“I just finished it yesterday,” she told The Post.

Nearly the entire “Parks” cast has spoken about their infamous group chat since the show ended.

On Monday, Offerman, 54, revealed that the cast was texting “all day” about co-star Jonathan Joss’ tragic death. Joss, who played Chief Ken Hotate, was shot and killed Sunday night at his property in San Antonio, Texas, following an alleged dispute with his neighbor.

 “We’re just heartbroken,” Offferman said in a statement to People.

In November, O’Heir, who played Jerry Gergich, said on NPR’s “Book of the Day” podcast about the group chat, “It’s generally, like, Retta is the queen of history, and Retta will just post some random thing that happened.”

“She goes, ‘This was 10 years ago today,’ and then we all just go on a rant about whatever that was about,’” the 63-year-old shared.

O’Heir added: “It’s just personal. It’s people who, to this day, are good friends, and we love each other.”

Last July, Jones, 49, confirmed on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that the text chain was “very active.”

Meanwhile, Scott, 52, said in a 2022 interview with Access Hollywood, “Everybody’s in pretty close contact. It’s a tight group.”

Earlier this year, Jones told GoldDerby that she’s “ready any time” to join a “Parks and Recreation” revival.

“Oh man, I hope sometime soon,” said Jones, who played Ann Perkins. “I know Eric Todisco Mike Schur was like, ‘There has to be a reason for us to do it. We can’t just do it.’ But I would love that.”

Schur, for his part, addressed the possibility of a revival with Variety in 2019.

“I don’t feel like we left anything on the table. I would never ever say never,” Schur stated. “The chance to do it again, should it arise, would be incredible, but we would only do it if we all felt like there was something compelling us to do it.”

“If one single person said no, we wouldn’t do it,” he added.
