Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows the detectives of the 99th Precinct, led on the floor by Jake Peralta, a gifted detective who never quite grew up. His world changes when Captain Raymond Holt, a stone-faced veteran with an exacting manner, takes command.
The squad includes the competitive, binder-loving Amy Santiago, the fearsome Rosa Diaz, Sergeant Terry Jeffords, Jake's loyal best friend Charles Boyle, and Gina Linetti, the civilian administrator with endless confidence. Detectives Hitchcock and Scully do as little work as possible, and the charming car thief Doug Judy keeps slipping away.
Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the show aired five seasons on FOX. When FOX canceled it in 2018, fans protested loudly, and NBC picked it up for three more.
