"Parks and Recreation" is now ready to kick off their final and seventh season. To further heighten the excitement, NBC recently released the first trailer of the hit TV show where it featured the futuristic life of 2017.

Showrunner Michael Schur meanwhile spoke with Entertainment Weekly to explain his futuristic take on the series. He revealed that he is a big fan of "Battlestar Galactica's" famous season two time-jump and this is where he draws the inspiration.

He also said that they discussed about a "bunch of different scenarios" pointing out Leslie's (Amy Poehler) pregnancy with a triplet and Ben (Adam Scott) starting a family.

"We sped through the entire pregnancy and birth and the first week at home and all of that stuff. And then it was like, 'If you're going to jump nine months or a year, do something that really suggests that a lot of stuff had happened.' ... It was a gut-level thing," he told Entertainment Weekly.

"We talked about: Is it five years? Is it 10 years? It seemed like enough time to be for really radical change without everybody having gray hair," the EP went on to explain.

Apparently, the crew opted for a three-year time jump for "Parks and Rec."

Meanwhile, viewers will see Chris Pratt's Andy kicking off the final season of his own TV show with Terry to appear as guest star.

Terry is in the fact Garry, who fans know best as Jerry (Jim O'Heir).

The Season 7 trailer also highlighted Tom's future in 2017. "I'm a mogul now," Tom, dressed in an expensive suit, declared.

April (Aubrey Plaza) was also seen browsing the web with a futuristic glass tablet.

"Parks and Recreation" Season 7 premieres on Tuesday, Jan. 13, at 8 p.m. on NBC.
