'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' to End With Long-Delayed, Shortened Season 8

NBC has announced that Brooklyn Nine-Nine will wrap its death-defying run with Season 8, which has been pushed to the 2021-22 TV season. The farewell season will consist of just 10 episodes, which will mark the series' shortest season to date.

In July, series star Terry Crews revealed that the first four scripts for Season 8 had been scrapped in light of the nationwide protests against police violence following the horrifying murder of George Floyd. Soon after, Samberg confirmed that B99 was "taking a step back" as the cast, writers and producers contemplated "how you make a comedy show about police right now."

As a result of the delay, fans will have to wait at least seven more months to see what changes were made.
