We may now know the reason why a Parks and Recreation revival is yet to happen -- and the issue doesn't appear to be the willingness of certain cast members.

The problem may be that the show's co-creator Mike Schur is just too damn busy.

"Mike Schur is currently working on about five shows," Amy Poehler (aka Leslie Knope), told Variety on the carpet for Thursday night's Parks and Recreation 10th anniversary reunion event.

The good news? She definitely didn't rule out the possibility of a return, once Schur has a bit more time on his hands.

"Whenever Mike is ready, I'll put on my suit again for sure," she said.

Parks and Recreation kicked off in 2009, then ended in 2015 after seven seasons.

Your move, Mike.
