Brooklyn Nine-Nine to End With Season 8

TV

The Hollywood Reporter:

The beloved cop comedy starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher will wrap with its previously announced eighth season. The final season will consist of 10 episodes — its lowest order ever. What’s more, the series from creators Dan Goor and Mike Schur (Parks and Recreation) will not air during the 2020-21 broadcast season. The Universal Television entry will return at a date 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.

Phoebe Bridgers performed “Kyoto” and “I Know the End” on SNL over the weekend.

I am appalled. That was so controversial, I think we have to cancel Phoebe and no longer post about her on the website.1

  1. I am clearly joking and making fun of the silly “guitar smashing discourse” that overtook all of Twitter yesterday because people are apparently bored out of their minds. I thought about not including this footnote, but I just don’t trust the internet anymore to get sarcasm.
