The worlds of "Parks and Recreation" and "Orange is the New Black" are about to collide.

NBC has announced that they have ordered a new comedy pilot from Amy Poehler, "Old Soul," starring Natasha Lyonne.

TV Guide tweeted:

Deadline reports that the series is about "a young woman who works as an aid to old opinionated people," and was compared to "The Golden Girls" during the announcement.

The new series is part of a new three-year deal that Poehler has signed with NBC, which TV Guide also reported.

Needless to say we're pretty excited about this.
