It will feature never-before-told stories, an exploration of the show’s lasting impact as it approaches its 15th anniversary and O’Heir’s personal experience on the series. The nostalgia-packed remembrance will also feature contributions from O’Heir’s Parks co-stars, including Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe and Retta.
