BBC Four has acquired the UK rights to the third season of Parks and Recreation.

The channel recently aired the first two seasons of the popular US comedy and has now confirmed that season three will follow in 2014.

The third season of Parks and Rec saw the show receive its first Emmy nomination for 'Outstanding Comedy Series' and star Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope) receive her second Emmy nomination for 'Outstanding Comedy Actress'.

Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger) and Adam Scott (Ben Wyatt) also joined the mockumentary as series regulars for the 16 new episodes.

Parks and Recreation has been picked up for a sixth season by NBC in the US, with season six's premiere due to shoot in London later this month.

The show will return to US screens on September 26.
