Michael Schur said that for season four "In our pre-production time, we decided that a story for the entire season was going to be the election, so we needed to end that episode with Leslie standing on a stage and saying, 'I’m running for city council.' The whole episode became about how to make a satisfying story with that ending.

Co-creator and executive producer Michael Schur expressed worries, but also was optimistic, about the possibility of the show being renewed for a fourth se...

However, the show didn't receive a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, which caused some people to feel the show was snubbed. Others also felt Nick Offerman shouldn't have been omitted from the Emmys list. He was supposed to read the nominations but was sidelined by travel-related delays and Jimmy Kimmel filled in.
