NBC is making it 2006 again, through science or magic: "30 Rock" is returning to the Peacock next month for a new, original remotely-produced event that will also double as an upfront special for the NBCUniversal properties.

The special, which will air Thursday, July 16 at 8 p.m. on NBC, will feature the return of cast members Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and others, reprising their "30 Rock" roles for what NBC is describing as "a first-of-its-kind all-audience upfront event."

The return of "30 Rock" comes as NBC also recently aired a new episode of "Parks and Recreation," featuring the show's stars reprising their roles in an all-new story. In this case, the "30 Rock" special will also be filmed remotely but the story will additionally serve as a promo for NBCUniversal programming.
