Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur for Fox “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is an ensemble comedy about a talented but carefree detective, a by-the-book police captain, and their precinct colleagues. While based in the workplace, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is not really about the job – it’s about the men and women behind the badge.
The last and final season that premieres Thursday, August 12, 2021, on NBC continues to center around the lives of a group of police officers at a fictional precinct of the New York City Police Department. The show stars Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Dirk Blocker, Joel McKinnon Miller, and Andre Braugher.
Executive producer Dan Goor said in February: “I’m so thankful to NBC and Universal Television for allowing us to give these characters and our fans the ending they deserve.
“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.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for eight seasons. They are not only among the most talented people in the business, they are all good human beings who have become a family.
“But most of all, I feel lucky that we have had the best fans in the world. Fans who literally saved us from cancelation. Fans who fill us with joy.
“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. I know some people will be disappointed it’s ending so soon, but honestly, I’m grateful it lasted this long.”
