How to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine and stream every season online anywhere
Cool cool cool cool, strap in for a B99 marathon
There is nothing quite like the dedicated viewership of the beloved Brooklyn Nine-Nine. With the eighth and final season drawing to a close, now is the ideal time to go back and binge from the start of this hit sitcom. Wherever you are, here's how to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine online and stream every last moment of its 151-episode run.
Air dates: 2013-2021
Total season: 8 (151 episodes)
Creators: Dan Goor and Michael Schur
Cast: Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti
Streaming options: NBC / Peacock (US) / Netflix (UK, CA, Au)
The show first hit screens back in 2013, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8 airing from August 12-September 16. It's been a huge hit since its inception; in fact, there was such an outcry after FOX cancelled the show after its fifth season that NBC snapped up the rights to Brooklyn Nine-Nine...the very next day.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series follows a team of mismatched detectives in the fictional 99th Precinct of the NYPD in Brooklyn. Broadly speaking, it centers around the quirky relationship between Jake Peralta, an immature but talented detective played by Andy Samberg, and his commanding officer, the overly serious but eccentric Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher).
If that doesn't sound that hilarious to you, it's worth knowing Brooklyn Nine-Nine is another collaboration between Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the duo behind Parks and Recreation. Further bolstering Brooklyn Nine-Nine's credentials, Goor has also worked on The Daily Show, while Schur is behind the hugely popular The Good Place.
Convinced? Great. Here's how to watch Brooklyn Nine online from start to finish where you are around the world.
