Well its not necessarily a spin off of the office. It will have the some style: mockumentary. Also, some office characters will appear like Rashida Jones (Karen) and it is directed by Michael Schur and Greg Daniels. The series follows Leslie Knope, the head of the Parks and Recreation department in Pawnee, Indiana. Knope takes on a project from a nurse named Ann to turn a construction pit into a park, while trying to mentor a bored college-aged intern.
