Comedienne Amy Poehler's hit sitcom 'Parks And Recreation' is set to end after its seventh season.

The upcoming seventh season of the comedy will be its last, NBC announced on May 10 when the network released its 2014-15 schedule, said The Hollywood Reporter.

"We have several of our strongest comedies by some of our best auspices being held for midseason, including the final season of 'Parks and Recreation'," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said.

'Parks and Recreation', the story of a small-town parks department and a woman with grand political aspirations and her rag-tag team, currently ranks as NBC's longest-running comedy.
 

The show started as a midseason replacement and aside from season three, has always been a fall launch.

After debuting in 2009, the show has earned several awards and nominations, including Golden Globes win for Poehler.
