Brooklyn Nine-Nine began in 2013 winning two Golden Globes for its first season. After eight seasons and a complicated journey for the series, the precinct will close its doors for good.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Andy Samberg as Jake Peralta, an immature police officer who began the show trying to get used to his new, strict police captain, Captain Holt (Andre Braugher). As the series continues, the pair grow close, as do all of the squad members at the 99th Precinct.
The show itself has had some ups and down, with it being canceled by Fox after five seasons.
NBC picked it up, and renewed it for three further seasons, with the eighth recently being announced as the final one.
Back in February 2021, it was announced this eighth and final season would run during the 2021-2022 television season.
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."
When Does the Last Season of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Come Out?
The final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine premieres on August 12.
The episodes will air on NBC at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, and will air each Thursday in those timeslots.
It was previously expected it would come out earlier, but fans have had to wait a little longer for their favorite cops to return to the streets of Brooklyn.
The final will consist of 10 episodes, compared to previous runs of 23, or more recent runs of 18 and 13 episodes.
The Cast of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'
The cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine remains much the same, and fans will be expecting some of their favorites to return.
Andy Samberg returns as Peralta, and Andre Braugher as Captain Holt.
Sgt. Amy Santiago is played by Melissa Fumero, Lt. Terry Jeffords is played by Terry Crews, Det. Charles Boyle is played by Joe Lo Truglio and Rosa Diaz is played by Stephanie Beatriz.
Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker also return to the main cast as Det. Scully and Det. Hitchcock.
Chelsea Peretti, who portrays Gina, left the main cast some time ago, but returns as an occasional guest star.
It may be she makes a return for the final season, as well as some of fan favorites such as Doug Judy (Craig Robinson), The Vulture (Dean Winters) and Captain Holt's husband Kevin (Marc Evan Jackson.)
The Plot of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Season 8
The official synopsis of the final season reads: "Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows the exploits of hilarious Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his stoically ever-professional Capt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), along with their diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD's 99th Precinct.
"In this final season of the series, Jake and the squad must try to balance their personal lives and their professional lives over the course of a very difficult year."
As a result, it looks as though the pandemic may feature heavily in the show, as it likely has done behind the scenes as well.
It is not clear whether the pandemic itself will feature, or if the group will have encountered other difficulties to represent COVID-19.
The final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine comes out on August 12 on NBC at 8:00 p.m./8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
