We hope Lucy Lawless likes breakfast. And wood working. And as little government involvement in her life as humanly possible.

The actress, who just wrapped a three-year run on Spartacus, has been cast on multiple episodes of Parks and Recreation Season 5... as a possible love interest for Ron Swanson!

Lawless will recur as a single mother in Pawnee.

Look for Ron and Andy to be sent out to help her with a particular problem, only for April's shoe-shining husband to note that there may be some sparks between his pal and this lovely lady.

No word yet on when Lawless will debut, but Parks and Recreation returns with new episodes on September 20.
