Well that was quick. Not willing to abide by silly things like “the passage of time,” NBC has gone ahead and ordered Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8 before the show’s seventh season has even premiered.
NBC broke the news to the world and to the cast via a table read sneak attack that has now become the norm for Brooklyn Nine-Nine season renewals.
Look at sweet Terry Crews in the back, standing up to toss in script in the air, then worrying that he got too hyped and sitting back down.
But Crews and the rest of the cast’s enthusiasm is warranted. Renewals of any kind, let alone renewals that come months before the current season debut, used to be a torturous affair for the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast and crew. The show has always been produced by NBC, but spent the first five years of its life on Fox, who wasn’t always generous in renewing the show in a timely fashion. It’s only when Fox opted not to renew the show altogether following its fifth season, that NBC swooped in to pick up its comedic offspring. Now here we are: Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8!

Oh, and here’s that Brooklyn Nine-Nine Backstreet Boys clip you’ve been meaning to watch again.
