Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American action comedy television series that airs on Fox. Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, the single-camera series follows a precinct team of detectives and a newly appointed captain. It premiered on September 17, 2013 as part of the 2013–14 American television season. The series' premiere garnered 6.17 million viewers.[1]

It has won two Golden Globe Awards in 2014: one for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy and one for Andy Samberg for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy.[2]

On March 7, 2014, the series was renewed for a second season.[3]

Cast and characters

Main

  • Andy Samberg as Detective Jake Peralta, a talented but childish detective. It is revealed that his father abandoned him and his mother when he was very young.[4] Peralta shows "class clown" traits, constantly pulling pranks and making jokes at the expense of his colleagues, particularly his partner Santiago; this is later revealed to be secret romantic feelings for her, which he confessed to her in the first season finale. Despite his fun-loving traits, Peralta has the best arrest rate in the precinct. His frequent disregard for decorum and protocol regularly puts him at odds with the by-the-book Captain Holt, though the two eventually develop a mutual professional respect for each other.
  • Andre Braugher as Captain Ray Holt, the 99th Precinct's strict new Commanding Officer. Holt is known for his cold and robotic manner of speaking and lack of outwardly visible emotion. The Nine-Nine is Holt's first command despite many years of outstanding service, something he attributes to prejudice against his homosexuality.[4] Holt is married to Kevin Cozner, a university professor.
  • Melissa Fumero as Detective Amy Santiago, Jake's uptight, by-the-book, rule-following, and overachieving partner.[4] She is continually trying to ingratiate herself with Captain Holt. She has a competitive nature stemming from having seven brothers. She is unaware of Jake's feelings for her and frequently exasperated by his childishness, as well as the ease with which he succeeds as a detective. Santiago clandestinely smokes at times to relieve stress and is highly allergic to dogs. It is revealed that she skipped the fourth grade.
  • Joe Lo Truglio as Detective Charles Boyle, a nervous, clumsy but honest and hard-working detective who has a crush on Detective Diaz.[4] He is divorced from his wife, who had numerous affairs during their marriage. He is also a huge, unapologetic foodie, maintaining a weekly Brooklyn pizza-ranking email and often relishing bizarre foreign cuisine that disgusts his coworkers. For saving Detective Diaz's life during the Christmas episode, he was awarded a Medal of Valor in "The Bet" episode.
  • Stephanie Beatriz as Detective Rosa Diaz, a smart, tough, and mysterious detective. She attended parochial school, later studied ballet, and was a classmate of Jake's in the police academy.[4] Though Diaz is a loyal and effective member of the squad, her anger management issues and lack of empathy terrify most of her coworkers. She is highly secretive about her personal life.
  • Terry Crews as Detective Sergeant Terence "Terry" Jeffords (Jeffries in the Pilot episode), the detective squad's leader. An avid bodybuilder, Terry is devoted to his wife and two young daughters, and fears the danger of police work because of the possibility that he could leave his children fatherless. Following a panic attack prior to the show's run, Terry was removed from field work, but has since cautiously returned. He is high-strung and prone to nervous excitement, but is an effective and caring leader to the detective squad. It is revealed in the series pilot episode that Terry was seriously overweight prior to his bodybuilding obsession.
  • Chelsea Peretti as Administrator Gina Linetti, the 99th Precinct's sardonic administrator and Captain Holt's assistant.[4] She belongs to a dance troupe called "Floorgasm".

She is also childhood friends with Jake, who got her the job at the precinct.
  • Dirk Blocker as Detective Michael Hitchcock (season 2, recurring season 1), an enthusiastic but clueless detective who is friends with Detective Scully. He is prone to taking his shirt off at inappropriate times. He went bald at 15.
  • Joel McKinnon Miller as Detective Norm Scully (season 2, recurring season 1), a middle-aged, lazy and overweight desk worker. Scully shows talent as a tenor opera singer and "make[s] great coffee", according to Sgt. Jeffords. He used to date Hitchcock's wife. Scully routinely discloses disgusting medical issues like the entire bottom of his foot being a wart.

Recurring

  • Patton Oswalt as Fire Marshal Boone, the dimwitted fire marshal of the local fire station precinct. He hates the detectives of 99 intensely, but reaches an understanding with Jake when they discover that they both were abandoned at a young age by their fathers.
  • Dean Winters as Detective Warren Pembroke, a detective for the Major Crimes Unit notorious for taking over cases that are mostly solved and getting all of the credit for solving them, which earns him the nickname "The Vulture".
  • Marilu Henner as Vivian Ludley, a food author who becomes romantically involved with Boyle. In "Full Boyle", she and Boyle become engaged, until she broke it off in "Charges and Specs" when she wanted to move to Canada and Boyle was not willing to do so.
  • Fred Armisen as Mlepnos, a confused foreign man living in a building where a murder took place. The detectives run into Mlepnos while searching for witnesses, showing him a photo of the victim, which he keeps. He shows up again in "Operation: Broken Feather".
  • Kyle Bornheimer as Detective Teddy Wells, a detective at another precinct who used to date Amy and resumes his relationship with her after meeting up with her at a training exercise.
  • James M. Connor as Deputy Commissioner Podolski, is the NYPD's arrogant deputy police commissioner who uses his position for his own personal means such as keeping his rebellious son, Trevor, out of jail in "The Tagger".

Guest stars

On May 8, 2013, Fox placed a thirteen-episode order for the single-camera ensemble comedy.[5][6][7] On October 18, 2013, the series was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes, and was later chosen to air with New Girl in a “special one-hour comedy event” as the Super Bowl XLVIII lead-out programs.[8]
