Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl Prepare for Comedy Crossover!
There’s really nothing quite like a good crossover special, and FOX is gearing up for one that should put a smile on everyone’s faces.
The network announced a special crossover event at the Television Critics Association press tour with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl. Because what could be better than seeing what happens when Zooey Deschanel and Andy Samberg are on screen together?
The one-hour crossover event will air Tuesday, October 11th with back-to-back episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl, when the characters from each show meet each other in New York.
“We’re all huge fans of New Girl here at the Nine-Nine, and we’re excited to see our characters interact and to work with their incredible writers and producers. And also to see what their craft services are like, compared to ours,” co-creator and executive producer of Brooklyn Nine-Nine Dan Goor stated.
“The crossover episode has historically been the artistic high point of any show that has dared to attempt it,” said Elizabeth Meriwether, creator and executive producer of New Girl.
She continued: “Maybe you remember ‘Blackout Thursday’ on NBC, or even further back the infamous Alf/Gilligan’s Island crossover of the late 1980s. New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will proudly and humbly go where few shows have gone since the 1990s. We know we have big shoes to fill, and we look forward to disappointing everyone. There’s a 50% chance Alf will also be in both episodes. But there’s also a 50% chance that is a lie.”
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 4 and New Girl Season 6 premiere Tuesday, Sept. 20 on FOX.
