    LOS ANGELES: The eighth and the final season of beloved police comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will premiere in August on NBC, the network has announced.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, the new season will kick off on August 12 with two back-to-back episodes and will have a new episode airing each Thursday.

    Starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, season eight follows New York Police Department’s 99th Precinct’s Detective Jake Peralta and Captain Raymond Holt and their lovable colleagues as they balance their personal and professional lives over the course of a difficult year.

    The 10-episode season also features actors Terry Crews, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Lo Truglio, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker.

    ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ executive producer Dan Goor said last year that the season eight would address issues of  “police brutality and systemic inequality”.

    The show is produced by Universal Television, Fremulon, Dr Goor Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.

    Executive producers are Goor, Mike Schur, David Miner, Luke Del Tredici and David Phillips.

    “Brooklyn Nine Nine”, which premiered in 2013 on Fox, was cancelled after five seasons by the network in 2018 before NBC revived it for a sixth season that same year.

  • Bad news for ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ fans: Hit-comedy show to end with upcoming season

    By Online Desk
    American TV show ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’, which airs on NBC, will end production with its upcoming and final season. 

    The news was officially announced on Twitter, with a statement by co-creator Dan Goor. 

    The show starring Andy Samberg, Felissa Fumero, Andre Braugher, Craig Robinson, and others was hit among fans breaking many stereotypes and addressing discrimination.

    “I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for eight seasons,” Goor’s statement read.

    “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 cancellation,” he continued. 

    The show, which started in 2013, was canceled in 2018 by Fox due to bad ratings but a massive outcry from fans and celebrities got it picked by NBC later.

    “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. Title of my sex tape,” said Goor.

    The show is also available on Netflix and will air as part of the 2021-2022 season. 

    Reacting to the news, actor Melissa Fumero wrote on Twitter, “It has been one of the greatest joys and honor of my life to play Amy. I am so grateful to be able to take a victory lap with our beloved cast and crew. To our amazing fans, we love you. No tears for now, we still have a whole season to shoot!”

    It is being reported that unlike the previous seasons, the last one will feature only 10 episodes.
