Nick Offerman, who played the iconic Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation, has revealed he thinks a reboot of the show is unlikely to ever happen.
Speaking to People, Nick, who played Ron throughout the sitcom's six-year run, explained that the show's finale was specifically designed to wrap up all its lose ends, making it difficult to revive.
"The thing is, Mike Schur — who was the main creator and the main writer — ended it in a very specific way," Nick explained.
"He wanted to do it with integrity, and he buttoned it up," Nick continued. "He made a deal with the network, like, 'If you'll bring me back next year for 16 episodes then I'll wrap it up,' and everyone said, 'Great.'"
"And so having done that, I think he would have to come up with some crazy idea [for a reboot.] If that doesn't happen, then I don't think there could be a reunion. It'd be fun to do, though," he added.
And when you think about it, Nick kind of does have a point — the season finale really did wrap up each and every character's story in a way that left little room for ambiguity.
However, he did go on to say that he envisions Ron is still out there living his best life as a park ranger and has probably "befriended some bears".
But despite Nick's doubts that a reunion would work, many of the cast — including Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt — have said over the years they'd be down for a reboot if schedules aligned and there was public appetite for it.
