NBC Orders Five Additional Episodes of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE

NBC is adding five episodes to its original 13-episode order for the award-winning comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," bringing the total to 18 episodes for the 2018-19 season.

The sixth season of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will premiere on NBC in midseason. NBC acquired "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" in May.

From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" won the 2014 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical (Samberg). Emmy winner Braugher earned three consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, from 2014-2016.

Rounding out the ensemble are Holt's next-in-command, Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), a muscle-bound human mountain who loves nothing more than his three little daughters, except for a fresh carton of full-fat yogurt. The man loves yogurt. Amy Santiago is Jake's fiancée who recently became a Sergeant. Jake's fellow detectives include his best friend and human puppy-dog, Detective Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), and the incredibly secretive, tough-as-nails Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz). Holt's civilian assistant is Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti), the living embodiment of the "100" emoji. Also part of the Nine-Nine are veteran officers Detective Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Detective Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker), whose only skill as police officers is their ability to make a passable pot of coffee.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is produced by Universal Television, 3 Arts Entertainment, Fremulon and Dr. Goor Productions. The series was created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The series is executive-produced by Goor, Schur, David Miner and Luke Del Tredici.
