The Office and Splitting Up Together star Jenna Fischer has a new show in development at Freeform. Titled National Parker, the half-hour series would center on Fischer as a “social media-obsessed†woman named Parker Adams, whose “world comes crashing down after a breakup†and “decides to put her New York City life behind her and become an adult with a real job — as a national park ranger at Alaska’s Hickberry National Park.â€
Fischer serves as an executive producer on the project alongside writer Alexandra Henrikson, who appeared on Netflix’s Maniac last year. “When Alex and I met we became fast friends, bonding over our love of national parks, activism and a desire to create projects for badass funny women,†Fischer said on the project. “We also wanted to showcase the ingenuity and brilliance of the often-underestimated millennial generation. National Parker is what sprang forth.†Here’s hoping Parker Adams won’t lose her job or paycheck for an unspecified period of time over a government shutdown.
