"Parks And Recreation" may be ending next year, but a little piece of Pawnee will stay on Hulu.

The site announced Tuesday that it had given a straight-to-series order for Poehler-produced show "Difficult People" -- a half hour comedy starring "Billy on the Street" host (and the inimitable "Craig" on "Parks & Rec") Billy Eichner and master podcaster/"Billy on the Street" scribe Julie Klausner.

The show will follow the two real-life best friends as they get themselves up to some awkward antics in New York City, not unlike the premise of Comedy Central's "Broad City," which Poehler also produces.

"I tend to enjoy funny people creating and starring in comedy programs, and Julie and Billy are the funniest around," Poehler said of the pair.

Um, we're sold.
