After the successful reunion of Parks and Recreation to raise money for charity, NBC is resurrecting another one of its most popular shows. On Tuesday, it was announced that NBC is bringing 30 Rock back for a one-hour special in July, with all of the core cast reprising their roles from the series. The special will double as NBC’s upfront presentation, featuring all of the characters from the fiction TV studio showing off what NBC has in store for the upcoming season.
The new 30 Rock special will reunite stars Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski, and Tracy Morgan. It will be filmed from the individual actors’ homes, much like the recent Parks and Recreation reunion. NBC will air the episode on July 16th at 8 pm. The next day, the special will air on USA, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, CNBC, and SYFY, as well as on the new Peacock streaming service.
Executive producers Fey and Robert Carlock stated,
“We’re all happy to have this excuse to (remotely) work together again for NBC,”
“To quote Kenneth the Page, there are only two things we love in this world, television and everyone.”
