Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell will be heading to Pawnee for season 6 of Parks and Recreation.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Kristen Bell will be guest starring on season 6 of Parks and Recreation as Eagleton City Councilwoman Ingrid.
“She’s Leslie’s equivalent, but richer and better dressed,” Parks and Rec showrunner, Michael Schur said.
Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope has had her fair share of nemeses throughout Parks and Recreation’s run from Pawnee-an turned Eagleton-ite Lindsay Carlisle Shay (Parker Posey) in season 3 to the nefarious dentist/councilman Jamm (Jon Glaser) in season 5.
However, it sounds like Bell’s Ingrid could be Leslie’s fiercest foe yet – a public servant just as dedicated and just as blond as Leslie but from the most evil place on Earth. The two will first meet, fittingly, at the Pawnee-Eagleton high school basketball game, which is undoubtedly the Yankees/Red Sox, Alabama/Auburn, Lakers/Celtics of fictional mid-Indiana high school basketball rivalries.
Bell will begin her stint after filming the partially Kickstarter-funded Veronica Mars movie and is slated to appear in an episode to air in October.
Bell currently stars alongside Ben Schwartz (Parks and Rec’s Jean-Ralphio) in Showtime’s House of Lies and previously portrayed Adam Scott’s (Ben Wyatt on Parks) intense girlfriend on the short-lived Party Down. Say what you will about Adam Scott, but his characters definitely have a consistent type.
