The producers said they will spend the majority of the next season in 2017, but they didn't discount flashbacks to fill in the blanks. I'm not sure about it... on the one hand, The Mentalist jumped forward two years and became an unidentifiable generic cop show. But in this case, it saved us from a whole season of pregnant Leslie storylines (which would have been fine... for a while...) and Tom's first years with the restaurant, and more Pawneeagleton strife.
To me this seems like a nice way to get all those stories out of the way to focus on something new. I'm excited! And a little worried about what this means for Ron's kids. Everyone else, sure, three years and not much is different. But at their ages those girls will have to be recast. :(
