It s unfortunately over for NBC s
Brooklyn Nine-Nine , as the network announced late last week that the Andy Samberg-led comedy will be over after its upcoming 8th season.
The show nearly got cancelled in 2018, before NBC picked it up from FOX after 5 seasons. NBC reports that season 7 had a decent audience, averaging 9.5 million viewers in total audience measurement. The show also won the Golden Globe for best comedy series in 2014, along with Samberg winning for best actor in a comedy.
Season 8 is incoming this TV season, but no word yet on a premiere date.
Will you miss the show?
Well, it felt sort of inevitable. NBC’s beloved cop comedy
Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be coming back, but it won’t be the triumphant return its many fans had been looking forward to. Instead, the Andy Samberg-led series will cap its run with an abbreviated eighth season one that likely won’t be dropping until later in the fall, after the Olympics.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has developed a loyal following in the tradition of NBC comedies, featuring a terrific cast and charming chemistry. However, the police antics have been complicated in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the global 2020 movement to hold cops accountable for the brutal treatment of Black people.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine to end with delayed, shortened season 8
The show will not return until 2021-2022
Over its seven seasons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has had a bizarre journey to say the least. After starting on
Fox before being cancelled to be rescued and renewed by
NBC, the future looked bright for the Andy Samberg-led comedy show.
But with updates about the upcoming season, news has broken that the show’s eighth run will be its last, according to the
B99 seasons
since April 2020, will have to wait approximately another year or more, only to be provided an abbreviated (read rushed) ending. The eighth season will see only ten episodes, and the show won t return until 2021-2022, rather than at some point in the current 2020-2021 as previously expected.
