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.
