Brooklyn Nine-Nine (commonly spelled Brooklyn 9-9) is an American police procedural comedy television series that aired on Fox, and later on NBC, from September 17, 2013 to September 16, 2021, for eight seasons and 153 episodes. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, it revolves around seven New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives who are adjusting to life under their new commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher). This sitcom features an ensemble cast of Andre Braugher, Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti, Dirk Blocker, and Joel McKinnon Miller.
Fox originally ordered 13 episodes of the single-camera comedy for its first season, eventually expanding it to 22 episodes. Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered on September 17, 2013. On May 10, 2018, Fox cancelled it after five seasons; the next day, NBC picked it up for a sixth season, which premiered on January 10, 2019. The seventh season premiered in February 2020. The 10-episode eighth and final season premiered on August 12, 2021. [1] [2]
The series has been acclaimed by critics. The first season won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, and on the same night, Samberg won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy. Braugher was nominated four times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and twice won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. The series also received particular praise for its portrayal of serious issues while retaining a sense of humour. For its portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, it won the 2018 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a team of detectives headed by the serious and intellectual Captain Raymond Holt, who is assigned as their new commanding officer in the pilot episode. The station's exterior is based on Brooklyn's 78th Precinct.
Writers and producers Michael Schur and Dan Goor, who had known each other since they were students at Harvard University, and had collaborated on the sitcom Parks and Recreation , conceived the idea to set a comedy in a police station, a setting they felt had been insufficiently used in television comedies since Barney Miller . They pitched the idea to production company Universal Television, where Schur had a development deal. Although Universal signed on to produce the series, its parent company's network, NBC, passed on airing it, so the duo sold it to the Fox Broadcasting Company. [4]
Fox placed a 14-episode order for the single-camera ensemble comedy in May 2013. [5] The series was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes in October 2013, and was later chosen to air with the sitcom New Girl in a "special one-hour comedy event" as the Super Bowl XLVIII lead-out programs. [6] It was filmed at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Los Angeles. [7]
The exterior view of the fictional 99th Precinct building was the actual 78th Precinct building in Brooklyn. [8] If the 99th Precinct were real, it would be considered a Brooklyn police precinct (where numbers can theoretically range from 60 to 99), but no precinct has yet been assigned number "99". [9]
Fox canceled the series after five seasons in May 2018. [10] Negotiations to revive the series for a sixth season began shortly afterwards with TBS and NBC, as well as streaming services Hulu and Netflix. [11] After fans launched a social-media campaign calling for a renewal, and only thirty hours following the show's cancellation by Fox, Goor announced that NBC had picked up the series for a sixth season comprising 13 episodes. [12] [13] In a statement, NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt expressed regret for originally passing on the series to Fox and was "thrilled" at its addition to the network. [14] NBC subsequently announced that the series would premiere midseason in the 2018–19 television season. [15] In September, the network ordered an additional five episodes for season six, bringing the order to 18. [16] The sixth season premiered on NBC on January 10, 2019. [17] Peretti, who portrays civilian administrator Gina Linetti, departed as a series regular during the season, but returned for a guest appearance. [3]
In February 2019, NBC renewed the series for a seventh season, [18] followed by an eighth season renewal in November prior to the airing of the seventh. [19] The seventh season premiered on February 6, 2020, and concluded on April 23. [20] [21]
In February 2021, NBC announced that the eighth season of 10 episodes would be the last, [22] and further announced that the eighth-season premiere would be delayed until August 12, 2021. [23] [24] [2] Two episodes aired back-to-back each week for five weeks and the series concluded on September 16, 2021. [25]
In June 2020, Crews said that the planned direction of the eighth season was being altered in response to the murder of George Floyd, with Goor cancelling four "ready to go" episodes as a result. [26] [27] Samberg also stated that the series would be "striking a balance" between addressing police brutality and maintaining its comedic style. [28] It also incorporated the COVID-19 pandemic during the season. [21] Although initially announced as part of NBC's fall schedule, the eighth-season premiere was pushed back to 2021 due to the pandemic. [29]
Goor called ending the series "a difficult decision, but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honor the characters, the story, and our viewers", [30] with the cast also expressing sentiments for having been a part of the series. [31]

Rotten Tomatoes gave season one a score of 89% based on 57 reviews. The consensus is: "Led by the surprisingly effective pairing of Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a charming, intelligently written take on the cop show format." [39] For Season 2, it received a score of 100% based on 17 reviews. That season's consensus is: "Brooklyn Nine-Nine's winning cast, appealing characters and wacky gags make it good comfort food." [41] Metacritic gives the first season of the show a weighted average rating of 70/100 based on 33 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [40]
Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post deemed Brooklyn Nine-Nine "one of the funniest, most important shows on TV" and highlighted its "ability to find unpredictable routes into a wide range of issues in contemporary policing." [50] Writing for Vanity Fair , Grace Robertson regarded the series as "a well-made exemplar of [...] the workplace sitcom" that confers "straightforward pleasures". [51] Slate 's Aisha Harris called the series "a well-crafted fantasy, with hardly any discernible connection to current cultural attitudes about law enforcement" but complimented its "talented" ensemble cast. [52] It was ranked No. 24 in Rolling Stone 's 50 Best TV Shows of the 2010s list, in which its curator, Alan Sepinwall, praised "the comedic yin and yang" of Samberg and Braugher's characters. [53]
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has received praise for its forthright portrayal of LGBTQ people and the serious issues that affect them while retaining its sense of humor. [54] Portraying Captain Raymond Holt, a lead character, as an openly gay, no-nonsense black man in a same-sex interracial marriage is unprecedented in cinema and television. [55] [56] The storyline on detective Rosa Diaz coming out as bisexual in episodes "99" and "Game Night", the 99th & 100th episodes of the series, has been described as an important representation of sexual orientation.
