'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Is Ending With Season 8 on NBC

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is coming to an end.

The comedy series will not return until the 2021-22 broadcast season, and will end with a 10-episode order, THR reported Thursday (February 11).

The Andy Samberg cop show will end with its previously announced eighth season, consisting of 10 episodes — its lowest order ever. It will return at a date still to be determined during the 2021-22 broadcast season.

“Sources say NBC opted to delay Brooklyn‘s return in order to give the beloved and award-winning comedy a proper sendoff. NBC has already set its ‘midseason’ slate as part of a crowded broadcast calendar in April and has, pandemic challenges notwithstanding, the Olympics in the summer. Rather than bury it in August, NBC will use the Olympics to market the final season and give the show a big promotional push for an expected 2021-22 premiere,” the outlet reported.

The show also faced a significant challenge to reflect the times amid #BlackLivesMatter protests around the nation, as well as the pandemic, causing writers to reconsider how to write the series.

Here’s what Andy Samberg said about how the characters will examine their roles in the upcoming season.

All of these shows also recently just got canceled at Netflix.

Andy Samberg Says 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Characters Will 'Examine Their Roles In The World' In New Season

Andy Samberg is opening up about the future of NBC’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine and how the show will handle police brutality storylines in the new season.

“The challenge is going to be being honest about what is going on in the world and not shying away from the fact that there are serious problems and also not punishing viewers who like our show and care about our characters,” the -year-old actor explained in a new interview with Variety.

Andy added that he believes that “our characters need to examine their roles in the world. They’re going to be forced to look in the mirror and see who they’re complicit with.”

He did add that the show hasn’t shied away from social issues.

“We’ve certainly never acted as if all police are innocent outside of our squad. In fact, I think we have a ton of episodes that are specifically about how there’s a lot of corruption and breaking protocol,” Andy added.

He goes on, “I think it’s important for us and for anyone watching our show to keep in mind if we’re looking for a half-hour comedy show to be the ones to solve this problem, we’re in trouble. Our job is pointing out that stuff isn’t getting done right and spreading the word that we’re (really) hopeful that it can get better.”

Earlier in the summer, the show revealed that they had scrapped the first episodes they had planned because of the police brutality issues surrounding the country.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's New Episodes Scrapped Amid Police Brutality Protests

Police officer comedy show Brooklyn Nine-Nine had four brand new season episodes already written but those episodes have been totally scrapped after the protests against police brutality in order to examine law enforcement’s role in society.

One of the show’s stars Terry Crews spoke about the episodes.

“Our showrunner Dan Goor, they had like four episodes all ready to go — they just threw them in the trash,” Terry told Access. “They’re like, ‘We’ve got to start over.”

“Right now, we don’t know which direction we’re going to go in, but we do know that we’ve had a lot of somber talks, we’ve had a lot of very, very deep conversations, and through this we hope to bring something that could really, really truly be groundbreaking this year,” Terry added. “We have an opportunity here and we plan to use it in the best, best way possible.”

Another TV show is going to be addressing police brutality in 2020 as well.

Chelsea Peretti Will Not Be in 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Season 7

Chelsea Peretti exited her role as a series regular on Brooklyn Nine-Nine after season five, but she still made a handful of appearances in the sixth season of the hit comedy series.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine moved from Fox to NBC in season six and the new network has already renewed the series through season eight.

The new season just premiered and one of the show’s stars, Terry Crews, opened up about whether or not we’ll see Chelsea this year.

“As far as I understand, I think she’s always in the family. She came back a couple times last season, which was awesome. I didn’t see her this season, but with season eight, there’s always something,” he told People. “You gotta understand one thing about Brooklyn Nine-Nine. We are a family. And it’s almost like one of our family members went off to college. It’s no beef, it’s all good. These are my brothers and my sisters in every way. Chelsea is one of the most talented women on television. No doubt.”
