The doors at the 99th precinct are set to close, again, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine coming to an end with its upcoming eighth season. NBC has revealed that the Andy Samberg -fronted police comedy will be ending during the 2021-22 broadcast season, bringing its fairytale resurrection to a close. The show, produced by Universal Television, originally ran for five seasons on Fox before it was cancelled but NBC picked up the show for a sixth season that aired in 2019. Season seven aired in spring 2020 and the eighth season was renewed three months before season seven premiered. Production on season eight, which will be comprised of ten episodes, was hit by the pandemic but Samberg said that he expects them to be back on set “fairly soon”. The earliest the show will return is fall 2021, meaning that the comedy will not have aired a season during the 2020-21 season.
