Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8 may not be the same show as it was once when it arrives on NBC. It might be challenging to deliver stories about "funny cops" because of everything that's happening in the real world, including police brutality and hopes for reform.
While the series has tackled serious issues before through comedic tone, the scope of the current issue vast. In a recent report via People Magazine, series star Andy Samberg has something to say about the particular matter and what are the plans for Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8.
Samberg revealed that the writers are all rethinking how the series moves forward. The cast and crews are discussing how to make a comedy show about the police world at the moment. They have to figure out a lot of things and consider certain matters. So, there's going to be some challenges this time around.

Since the first four episodes were scrapped, the series starts from scratch again. They have to figure out how to present a story that tackles relevant issues, such as corruption the police force. Crews didn't also elaborate on whether the scrapped episodes will be included later on the series.
Meanwhile, the official release date of the upcoming installment remains unknown at the moment. There's no clear indication of whether or not the series is coming back this year. Due to the global health crisis, the new installment is facing a lot of uncertainties.
Filming may not start anytime soon, causing the potential delay of Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 8. But if NBC chose to keep the series on its midseason schedule, there won't be too many interruptions. But right now, the safety of everyone on set is the top priority.
