Hugely popular comedy series Brooklyn
Nine-Nine was unfortunately cancelled by Fox after its fifth season,
much to the disappointment of fans everywhere. After a series of negotiations
between Hulu, Netflix and a few terrestrial TV networks, NBC finally decided to
pick up Brooklyn Nine-Nine for thirteen episodes, later deciding to up
the episode count for the sixth season to eighteen. In February 2019, NBC
announced that the show had been renewed for a seventh season.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a heart-warming single-camera situational
comedy set in the fictional 99th precinct in South-West New York.
The show features a host of delightfully weird characters led by Captain
Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) and detective Jake Peralta portrayed by Andy
Samberg (SNL, The Lonely Island).
The fantastic supporting cast consists of
Terry Crews, Stephanie Beatriz, Melissa Fumero, Jo Lo Truglio, Chealsea Peretti,
Dirk Blocker and Joel McKinnon Miller, plus a host of strong guest stars including
(among so many others) Craig Robinson, Jimmy Smits, Katy Sagal, Bill Hader and
stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt as Fire Marshall Boone (named after one of the
show’s producers).
The sixth season gave fans yet another
host of enticing stories in the wake of Captain Holt’s unfortunate failure to attain
his dream job as police commissioner. The season brought us the return of some
beloved characters such Doug Judy the illusive Pontiac Bandit (Craig Robinson),
as well as the return of the Hallowe’en heist (replaced for filming convenience
with Cinco De Mayo). We explore further development of our favourite characters
and even, the backstory we never knew we needed… A Hitchcock and Scully case
from the 1980’s!
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has
awarded the sixth season a rare approval rating of 100% based on 24 user
reviews. Fans have commented that, even considering a change of network, the
show’s tone, cast and scripting have remained intact and unchanged. The much-anticipated
seventh season is due for released in season 7.
Nine-Nine!!!
