'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' is ending after upcoming eighth season


"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is coming to an end, and this time it's for real.

The show's official Twitter account released a statement from executive producer Dan Goor, who said it was ending after its upcoming eighth season.

 

 

 

"When Mike Schur and I first pitched the pilot episode to Andy (Samberg), he said, 'I'm in, but I think the only way to tell this story is over exactly 153 episodes,' which was crazy because that was exactly the number Mike and I had envisioned," Goor said.

"I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for eight seasons," he added.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" revolves around the hilarious shenanigans inside a police station in Brooklyn. The well-loved characters include Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), as Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti), Michael Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker), and Norm Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller).

It first aired on FOX in 2013 before getting canceled after five season. After the cancelation garnered a strong reaction from fans online, the series was rescued by NBC, where it started airing in 2019.

"I feel lucky that we have had the best fans in the world," Goor said. "Fans who literally saved us from cancellation."

"Ending the show was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honor the characters, the story and our viewers," he added. —JCB, GMA News
