Fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be well aware of the fact that Detective Rosa Diaz isn’t one for sugar-coating anything. With her tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a sharp tongue that could cut through steel, Rosa is the kind of character who commands respect without saying much. And in many ways, Rosa has been a real-life reflection of the actress behind the role, Stephanie Beatriz.

The actress Stephanie Beatriz, much like her on-screen persona, is unapologetically direct, fierce, and unafraid to stand her ground. So much so that she once shut down an older actor, after he crossed the line, and proved that she was born to play Rosa Diaz, given how she and her character were two sides of the same coin—a whole lot of grit and attitude.

After “The Good Place,” creator Mike Schur and star Ted Danson are back with another comedy to keep you laughing while tugging on the heartstrings with “A Man on the Inside.” The Netflix series stars Danson as Charles, a retired and widowed man bored with his daily routine who gets the opportunity to reinvent his life when he’s hired by a private investigator to infiltrate a retirement home.

Danson is joined by an ensemble full of familiar faces, from former Schur’s comedy regulars to seasoned character actors. Here’s your handy guide to the cast of “A Man on the Inside” and where you’ve seen them before.

Like any other character-based storytelling format, television is chock full of common tropes.

Sometimes, tropes are overdone or offensive, but they often exist to give the audience a sense of familiarity and relatability.

If I had to choose a favorite trope, it would be the concept of found family, and I wouldn’t even have to think about it.

(Jack Zeman/Fox)

A grouchy, tough boss has a soft spot for a rough-around-the-edge intern and becomes a parental figure for them.

A set of childhood best friends grow into adulthood together, sharing all of life’s challenges and celebrations like siblings.

Sometimes, a character gets the “Dirty Uncle Sal” treatment.

Brooklyn 99 started and ended with a bang. The show took fans along on a journey that they will never forget, and the biggest contributor to this was the characters. The detectives changed along with their viewers, going through several arcs and becoming the beloved pieces of the puzzle that brought life to the precinct.

Although the series has ended, fans cannot help but want to see their favorite actors in more comedic settings, even if it is in different roles. While many were hoping for a movie, the fact that there have been no updates does not help their optimism.

Thankfully, for fans of Rosa Diaz, Stephanie Beatriz is coming back into the world of sitcoms along with the legendary, Mike Schur. However, it is not in the way many may think.

Mike Schur Is Bringing Back...

Exclusive: Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero are teaming up on a new comedy podcast from iHeartMedia’s My Cultura Network launching on May 30.

More Better with Stephanie and Melissa will take listeners along on a personal ride through all aspects of life. They’ll share cheat codes for adulting, anecdotes and probably a few embarrassing stories.

The weekly podcast is the latest series that hails from executive producer Wilmer Valderrama’s exclusive slate which also includes Essential Voices with Wilmer Valderrama and Date My Abuelita, First! More Better with Stephanie and Melissa is a co-production under his Wv Sound banner.

“Melissa and I are in a consistent and hilarious ongoing discussion: it’s been a part of my life since we first met almost ten years ago,” Beatriz shared with Deadline. “We can’t wait to let listeners (and hopefully new friends!

I love it when Nicolas Cage goes for the gusto. My family constantly quoted his "Moonstruck" meltdown when I was growing up ("I lost my hand! I lost my bride!") and I'll take any excuse I can get to yell "Not the bees!" or "I'm a vampire!" in my everyday life. But I will also take Cage doing the kind of restrained, internal, and otherwise non-flashy acting that tends to get ignored by the Oscars over a movie that calls on him to dial things up to 11 in a calculated bid at future viral success every day of the week.

Michael Sarnoski's "Pig" -- which the Academy tellingly snubbed -- is one such film. The low-budget 2021 drama casts Cage as Robin "Rob" Feld, a formerly distinguished chef who's forced to abandon his solitary existence foraging for truffles in the woods when his beloved truffle-sniffing pig is kidnapped. Fortunately, as...

The entertainment industry hasn’t always been quite as diverse and open-minded as it is today. From racial discrimination to disparity based on sexuality, as confessed by actors themselves, Hollywood has been a mess for a long time. Take, for example, when late actor Kevin Conroy revealed losing roles because of his homosexuality, before landing Batman: The Animated Series in 1992.

After facing years of discrimination, Kevin Conroy eventually shared the experiences of being a gay actor in Hollywood. Perhaps his grieving words opened the eyes of millions and became an inspiration for change. Thus, years after Conroy’s work as Batman in the Dcau, bisexual actress Stephanie Beatriz could work with ease as Batwoman in Catwoman: Hunted.

Hollywood is mourning Andre Braugher, the Emmy-winning actor known for “Homicide: Life on the Street,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and more, who died on Monday at age 61.

“Can’t believe you’re gone so soon,” wrote Terry Crews, who played Terry Jeffords in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” on Instagram. “I’m honored to have known you, laughed with you, worked with you and shared 8 glorious years watching your irreplaceable talent. This hurts. You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship. Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time. You showed me what a life well lived looks like.”

“I will remember all the advice you gave me,” posted Melissa Fumero, who starred in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” as Amy Santiago.

A Chaotic or Disaster Bisexual is defined in a variety of ways. They could give off so much chaotic energy, that without knowing anything else about them you could correctly guess that they’re bi. They can also be defined by their awkwardness when it comes to flirting and expressing their feelings. Despite being attracted to a wide variety of people, the Chaotic Bisexual is a hot mess above all else.

While some may see this term as an insult or an essentialization of an entire sexuality, many embrace this title with open arms. Identifying as a Chaotic Bisexual allows us to embrace the flaws that make us human and not take ourselves so seriously. Bi people have to deal with so many misunderstandings both within and outside of the queer community – we’re not queer enough for some, too queer for others – and this term gives us a chance...

For eight seasons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was one of the most beloved and funniest comedies on TV. The show even survived a shift to a new network, going from Fox to NBC for its final three seasons. Part of the show’s success is certainly owed to the showrunners’ ability to recognize talented people and apply their skills to the best use for the show. Take Chelsea Peretti’s initial audition, for instance.

For the show’s first six seasons, Peretti played Gina Linetti. The character serves as the 99th Precinct’s civilian administrator and assistant to commanding officer Raymond Holt (Andree Braugher). Peretti certainly got a lot of juice out of her character’s outsider status within the ensemble cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Naturally, Gina Linetti has become her signature role.

The eight-season run of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was quite a ride. Premiering in 2013, the workplace comedy about the NYPD's 99th precinct capped its first season with surprise Golden Globe wins for best comedy and best television actor in a musical or comedy series for star Andy Samberg. The show continued to receive critical acclaim but never topped the television ratings, leading Fox to cancel the series just shy of its fifth season finale. Due in large part to the outcry from loyal fans, NBC swept in the next day and picked up the quirky comedy for an additional three seasons.

After an extended hiatus due to Covid-19, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" resumed production in a world shaken by anti-police protests following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. In response to growing cries of "copaganda," Samberg told People the cast and crew were "taking a step back" and "discussing how you...

Yale Entertainment Swings for the Fences with “Bucky F*ing Dent”

Yale Entertainment has announced the lead cast for its upcoming romantic dramedy “Bucky F*ing Dent,” David Duchovny’s adaptation of his own novel.

Stephanie Beatriz and Logan Marshall-Green star alongside Duchovny, who is also helming and scripting. The pic recently wrapped shooting in New Jersey; no release date has been set. Yale Entertainment’s sales unit, Great Escape, will introduce the film at AFM.

Beatriz is best known as the voice of Mirabel in Disney’s “Encanto” and for the role of Rosa Diaz on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” She will next appear in Peacock’s action-comedy series “Twisted Meta.”

Marshall-Green’s acting credits include Netflix’s “Lou” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” He also wrote and directed Ethan Hawke starrer “Adopt a Highway,” which premiered at SXSW in 2019.

Stephanie Beatriz is just as much of a badass as her leather-clad no-nonsense "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" character Rosa Diaz. The actress is well-known for being the 99 Precinct's coolest employee — she's scary, smart, and secretive, and no one knows much about her. Most of Rosa's colleagues are frightened to get on her wrong side because she immediately instills fear in everyone she interacts with. She will do what it takes to keep her freedom; Rosa doesn't like to be controlled, and she has no qualms about letting her colleagues know about it.

Stephanie Beatriz also shares her longtime on-screen character's propensity for no-nonsense because when a guest star was disrespectful towards her and other cast members on the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" set, the actress stood her ground and said her piece.

John Boyega stars as a Marine veteran in “Breaking,” a dramatic thriller that documents the injustices felt by service members once they’ve returned to civilian life.

Based on the real life of Brian Brown-Easley, a former lance corporal in the Marine Corps, much of the plot follows a 2018 article written by Aaron Gell. After separating from the service with an honorable discharge in 2005, Brian returns home to Georgia, plagued by mental health challenges. When his disability check from the Va did not arrive in 2017, he turned to a dangerous solution to his financial trouble.

If you’re wondering when and how to watch “Breaking,” we’ve got you covered.

Is “Breaking” in Theaters or Streaming?

“Breaking” will open exclusively in theaters nationwide Friday, Aug. 26. A streaming release date or platform have not been announced, so as of right now the only way to see the film in in a movie theater.

On the set of Breaking, Michael K. Williams always showed up smelling really good according to his castmates.

Prior to his death last year, Williams had just wrapped production on the thriller-drama that went on to premiere at Sundance Film Festival this year.

“His clothes,” star John Boyega told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s West Hollywood premiere about what he remembers most about Williams on-set. “The design of his clothes, his fashion sense. He smelled very nice. He had a very nice presence. I’m actually wearing his natural oils tonight because he gave me a bottle.”

“He smelled really wonderful,” actress Selenis Leyva, who plays Rosa Diaz in the film, agreed.

Beyond his recognizable scent, Williams is remembered by his castmates as not only a talented performer, but a generous one. Over the course of the film, several interactions between...

John Boyega and the late, great Michael K. Williams are at the center of a life-or-death standoff in the first trailer for “Breaking,” previously titled “892.”

Based on actual events that occurred in 2017, “Breaking” follows a Marine veteran named Brian Brown-Easley (Boyega) who hits his breaking point when Veterans Affairs misses his monthly disability check. Running out of ways to support his wife (Olivia Washington) and young daughter (London Covington), Brown-Easley slips a note to an Atlanta bank teller reading: “I have a bomb.”

A “Dog Day Afternoon”-style holdup ensues as the customers clear the building and the employees – led by manager Estel Valerie (Nicole Beharie) and Rosa Diaz (Selenis Leyva) try to stay calm. Brown-Easley does indeed have a bomb, and a plan to kill himself and everyone in the building if his demands are not met.

Stephanie Beatriz lit up the Oscars stage last month, performing a rendition of the hit song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” with her fellow voice cast members of Disney’s “Encanto.” But Disney itself is currently at the center of a different free speech issue, as the company feuds with Florida government officials over its opposition to the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Speaking to Variety at the 2022 Outfest Fusion Qtbipoc Film Festival Gala at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center on Friday, Beatriz said the current wave of anti-gay and anti-trans legislation, which has recently taken hold in Alabama, “keeps me up at night.” Although Disney is currently facing backlash from both ends of the political spectrum, she’s thankful for the positive representation she’s taken part in through the animated movie.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine did not waste any opportunity to tackle some of today's pressing issues that occurred during the pandemic. Among those include police brutality, confined spaces with loved ones, relationship conflict, and more. 

A double episode premiere, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episode 1 and Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episode 2 is a powerful start to the show's last season.

"The Good Ones" is the stronger episode of the two. However, the premiere successfully shows that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back and better than ever. 

With George Floyd's murder and the rise of police brutality protests during 2020, Andy Samberg, who plays Jake Peralta, discussed how Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 would deal with these issues. 

And the show certainly does not hesitate as they dive right in, starting with Rosa quitting the NYPD to become a private investigator on behalf of police brutality victims.

We expect nothing less from Rosa Diaz. She has always been very passionate about her beliefs,...

When last we saw the gang from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Andy Samberg’s Jake Peralta was passing his new baby son McClane — named, of course, for Bruce Willis’ character in Jake’s beloved Die Hard — off to wife Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) so he could watch a cell phone video of Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) and Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) performing a hip-hop dance routine together. It was a gently silly moment on a show that had long made gentle silliness its stock in trade. It was not necessarily meant as a series finale,...

I'll always remember the night of December 5, 2017. It holds an incredibly special place in my heart because that's the original air date for the 99th episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine - the episode in which Rosa Diaz comes out as bisexual. It might not seem like a big deal, but Stephanie Beatriz, the bisexual actress who plays Diaz on the show, gets right to the heart of why it matters, telling Vulture: "The main thing for me was that the character said 'bisexual' and that she said it so many times." And she's right - how many characters have been able to name their bisexuality without being the villain of the story or having their sexual promiscuity become a major plot point?

The answer is . . . not many.

In GLAAD's annual Where We Are on TV Report, they note that there are 95 regular LGBTQ+ characters on original streaming scripted series, and 46 LGBTQ+ recurring characters.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was always produced by NBC, and now that its home where it belongs, it’s become a staple of the network’s comedy line-up. The series is also enjoying a new streaming home on Peacock, where it is available to stream with a Premium subscription. Always a critical favorite, the workplace sitcom seemed to be rejuvenated by the network switch, and viewers have responded. According to Deadline, the “last season grew to… 6.4 million viewers overall.” NBC executives were quick to renew the series for season 8 just weeks after its season 7 debut. Then in February, NBC confirmed that season 8 will be the show’s final.

However, a number of events have delayed the return of the series. Besides the obvious production hurdles due to Covid-19 restrictions, showrunner Dan Goor revealed that his writing team threw out completed scripts for the eighth season following George Floyd’s death and the...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine will wrap its eight-season run on NBC this summer.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 is set to premiere on August 12 at 8 and 8:30 p.m. Et/Pt.

The series will air each Thursday in those timeslots, meaning that that fans will get two episodes every week.

10 episodes have been ordered.

The hit comedy follows the exploits of hilarious Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his stoically ever-professional Capt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), along with their diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD’s 99th Precinct.

In this final season of the series, Jake and the squad must try to balance their personal lives and their professional lives over the course of a very difficult year.

The cast includes Sgt. Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), who has a passion for organization and a weakness for dork dancing; Lt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), a mountain of a man whose most powerful muscle is his sweetheart.

The eighth and final season of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will premiere on August 12.

The new season will kick off with two back-to-back episodes starting at 8 p.m., with new episodes airing each Thursday.

Starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, Season 8 follows NYPD’s 99th Precinct’s Det. Jake Peralta and Capt. Raymond Holt and their lovable colleagues as they balance their personal and professional lives over the course of a difficult year.

Returning in their roles are Melissa Fumero, who plays Sgt. Amy Santiago, an expert at organizing and dork dancing, and Terry Crews, who plays gentle giant Lt. Terry Jeffords. Joe Lo Truglio plays the hopelessly hardworking Det. Charles Boyle, Stephanie Beatriz plays the tough and secretive Rosa Diaz, and Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker return as veteran officers Det. Scully and Det. Hitchcock.

The eighth and final season of NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” finally has an actual, set-in-stone premiere date and time. The Nine-Nine will return with back-to-back episodes on Thursday, Aug. 12, starting at 8 p.m. Et/Pt. That is four days after the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Closing Ceremony airs on NBC. A new pair of “Brooklyn” episodes will air in that hour each subsequent Thursday — until we again lose one of broadcast TV’s greatest sitcoms.

NBC has also released what it is calling a “final season preview,” which it first aired to advertisers during Monday’s upfront event.

Exclusive: Carmen Carrera, Stephanie Beatriz and YaYa Gosselin have joined the cast of transgender writer/director Kase Peña’s debut feature, Trans Los Angeles.

The anthology film is comprised of four stand-alone shorts. Each will take place in a different part of L.A., offering a glimpse into the daily life of a different Trans character.

Carrera, Beatriz and Gosselin will star in a segment called Period, which centers on Vergara (Carrera), a Trans Latinx woman recently released from the LA County Jail who gets a part-time job taking care of a shy 12-year-old girl (Gosselin), while doing sex work on the side, to make ends meet. For Vergara, the latter decision comes as a major risk, considering that sex work is what got her locked up in the first place.

Even for celebrated Latinx performers like John Leguizamo, finding success in the entertainment industry is a hard-fought and seemingly never-ending battle. But as a newcomer to the business, Leguizamo recalls being galvanized by the struggle into telling his own stories.

“I just kept getting put into these really negative roles that I felt I was contributing to the downgrade of the Latinx image in the media,” he tells Variety. “I wanted to write my own stuff, so I could portray my people the way I saw them and felt them.” And that’s exactly what the Leguizamo did. His 1991 off-Broadway production of “Mambo Mouth” was a hit. Despite being forced to perform in the hallway of the theater, the show brought in big names including Arthur Miller, Al Pacino and John F. Kennedy Jr.

“All of a sudden I felt like I have something to offer,” Leguizamo says. “I have something that white America,...

But who could the next Kate Kane be? Well, one actress has already thrown her name into the ring.

Stephanie Beatriz – who identifies as bisexual – is most known for playing badass detective Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but she’s clearly got her eye on some kind of superhero role. The actress previously made it known that she would love to play Marvel’s She-Hulk, for example. Having since ruled herself out of that race, though, Beatriz has now set her sights elsewhere. Following the news of Rose’s exit,...

This contains spoilers for the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” Season 7 episode titled “Valloweaster.”

To celebrate Detective Rosa Diaz’s third time winning “Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s” seasonal “heist” episode, Stephanie Beatriz — who has played Rosa for seven seasons — said her throaty, deadpan character would likely be eight beers in, egging on the rest of the zany members of Brooklyn’s 99th precinct in the fight that breaks out among them at the conclusion of Thursday night’s episode.

But like many others, Beatriz herself has been self-isolating and watched the shenanigans unfold over some wine at home.

The heist episodes have been a show tradition since Season 1, often doubling as its Halloween episodes, with the winning character declared an “amazing human genius” and topped off with a speech detailing the sometimes-byzantine way he/she/they got there.

Unlike previous heists, though, Season 7’s spanned three notable dates and holidays.

However, he won't be leading the charge, a detective named Dillman will be.

Fans of sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” are often perplexed when they hear actor Stephanie Beatriz in real life: Unlike the the throaty register Beatriz speaks in as Detective Rosa Diaz on the show — perfectly suited for the deadpan quality she delivers her lines — her actual voice is upbeat and pitched about an octave higher.

“They’re very confused,” Beatriz, who is now in her seventh season on the show, tells Variety.

In 2017, the show’s 99th episode featured a storyline personal to Beatriz: Rosa coming out as bisexual. Beatriz worked with executive producer and writer Dan Goor on bringing empathy to Rosa’s story, drawing on Beatriz’s own experience as a queer Latinx woman. Beatriz recalls family and friends dismissing her bisexuality as a “phase” or that it “wasn’t real.”

With people hungry for news about Disney Plus’ upcoming She-Hulk series, everyone is speculating about who will get to play the titular heroine. Which actress has the gall to take on the role of the mighty green beastette? That’s what we all want to know. We’ve already talked about how Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s very own Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa Diaz for the eight of you out there that don’t know) has thrown her hat into the ring. And now, it appears that Mark Ruffalo has voiced his own idea about who would be his dream She-Hulk.

If anyone can shine some light on this, then surely Bruce Banner can, right? According to Entertainment Tonight, Ruffalo is certain that Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie and Men in Black: International) would fit the character perfectly. He’s already worked with her on Thor: Ragnarok and he is the Hulk, so who are we to question his judgement?...

At the recent D23 Expo, Marvel Studios announced that a She-Hulk limited series was in the works for Disney Plus, adding yet another title to the long list of shows currently in development for the studio’s upcoming streaming service.

Several names have already been gaining some traction among fans, but one of the favorites appears to be Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Stephanie Beatriz, with the actress herself admitting that she would relish the opportunity to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the green-skinned lawyer if given the chance.

It certainly sounds as though Beatriz is dropping some not-so-subtle hints that she would like to be involved with She-Hulk,...

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” made its move from Fox to NBC this month, marking the sixth season Stephanie Beatriz is portraying the gruff but lovable Det. Rosa Diaz. It is her longest-running role, and it may just be the one most close to her, as she personally inspired Rosa’s coming out storyline on the show last season. But Beatriz is not a one-character wonder, also grabbing attention for her portrayal of Gloria’s sister on “Modern Family,” her vocal performances in the animated “Danger & Eggs” and “BoJack Horseman,” and starring in and exec producing indie feature “The Light of the Moon” in 2017.

Yes, yes, the ratings for the Season 6 premiere of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” — which hit a two-year high when the former-Fox comedy debuted on NBC Thursday night — were fantastic. But now it’s time to talk about the most important part of the season opener: Holt’s T-shirts.

While accidentally crashing Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy’s (Melissa Fumero) honeymoon, Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) spent the better part of the episode wearing a series of novelty vacation T-shirts that were completely out of character for the 99th precinct’s no-nonsense leader.

And Holt’s new garments — bought out of necessity when he forgot to pack accordingly for his last-minute pity vacation, after losing out on the police commissioner position — have already amassed quite a cult following on social media.

As Tom Sawyer learned when the people of St. Petersburg, Missouri gathered to erroneously mourn him, Huck Finn and Joe Harper, funerals are wasted on the dead. Better to say all those nice things to the ones you love while they’re still around to hear them.

Last spring, Brooklyn Nine-Nine got to briefly play the role of Tom Sawyer and learn the same lesson. For the day in between when Fox canceled the Andy Samberg/Andre Braugher police comedy and NBC revived it, there was an outpouring of grief...

If “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” can only manage to wrangle back either Gina Rodriguez or Jason Mantzoukas for a storyline on its upcoming sixth season, you better hope star Stephanie Beatriz isn’t the one asked to pick which guest star gets to return, seeing as we’d probably end up with no one.

Beatriz, who plays Detective Rosa Diaz on the former-Fox-now-NBC comedy, told TheWrap she’s not capable of choosing which of her on-screen love interests — the brand-new Alicia (Rodriguez) or her former fiance Adrian Pimento (Mantzoukas) — she’d rather see make a comeback in the next batch of episodes.

“Well, that’s really a ‘Sophie’s Choice,’ isn’t it?” Beatriz told TheWrap during the show’s press day earlier this month, ahead of its Season 6 premiere Jan. 10 on NBC. “That’s a ‘Sophie’s Choice.’ My hard pitch- I can’t even say it!”

The formula for a television comedy used to be so simple: Take a couple of larger-than-life characters, put them in an uncomfortable situation, pepper in three jokes per page and/or a pratfall, and viola — instant laughs. But when you really step back to think about it, that formula was kind of mean.

When the audience was laughing because Lucy Ricardo had to stuff her shirt with chocolate since she couldn’t work fast enough, the audience was effectively laughing at Lucy. Early television comedies didn’t ask that the audience think that hard about them, though, so no one felt too badly then — and, hey, Lucille Ball herself was willing to put herself in those crazy situations anyway. Instead, such comedies could be easily written off as mindless programming for viewers who wanted to turn off their brains and let content wash over them.

But the format evolved — thanks...

Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t what you’ve got ’til it’s gone? That brilliant Joni Mitchell lyric is exactly how “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” fans felt after Fox chose to cancel the beloved sitcom after five seasons. While the show’s ratings have always been low, mere minutes after the news broke we saw fans and celebrities come forward to profess their love for the show, from Lin-Manuel Miranda to Mark Hamill to Guillermo del Toro. Thirty-six hours later, NBC stepped in to save the day and revived the show it has technically always owned but never had the rights to air. With this renewed buzz for the film, could we expect a big embrace of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” at the upcoming Emmy Awards?

Ever since premiering on Fox in the fall...

It may come as no surprise that “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actress Stephanie Beatriz has no trouble speaking up when a man’s behavior crosses a line. In a recent interview with Vulture, the actress and Lgbtq advocate shared an anecdote that will sound all too familiar to many women in Hollywood, about an older male actor who was calling everyone “honey,” “babe,” and “baby” on set. (Beatriz did not share the actor’s name). Observing him interacting with the other women on set, Beatriz remembers wishing he would call her a name just so she would have a chance to respond.

“Sure enough once we hit set, he did speak to me that way, and I said, ‘I’d really prefer it if you called me by my name.’ And he was like, ‘All right, sweetie.’ And then I stopped and said, ‘No. I am actually serious. I am not sweetie.

Has Detective Rosa Diaz finally met her match?

TVLine has your exclusive sneak peek at Sunday’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine season finale (Fox, 8:30/7:30c), which introduces Jane the Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez as a potential love interest for Rosa.

As previewed by series co-creator Dan Goor, Rodriguez plays Alicia, an Uber driver who comes into Rosa’s life when she least expects it. “They meet by chance… and Rosa is not looking for love,” he says. “But the question is, once she meets Gina Rodriguez’s character, will she be able to avoid it?” (Judging by Rosa’s googly-eyed expression,...

Here’s my confession: For a long time, I didn’t really get Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I’d seen some of the beginning and been underwhelmed by it. Andy Samberg’s character, Detective Jake Peralta, seemed childish in a way that felt somewhere between dumb and upsetting. Stephanie Beatriz’s Rosa Diaz was gruff and felt one-dimensional. And the worst, to my unenlightened eye, was Melissa Fumero’s Amy Santiago, who came off as an un-fun, rule-oriented nag, primarily positioned to harsh Jake’s buzz and clean up his messes. I was not a fan.

I was so wrong. And now that Fox has cancelled Brooklyn Nine-Nine after its fifth season, I’m heartbroken the show won’t be around anymore (though there’s hope yet it could get picked up by another network). It’s not just that it’s developed tremendously from my initial, unimpressed glance — it’s that...

Things are going to get serious on the next “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” when the tough as nails Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) responds to an active shooter situation. Meanwhile, the precinct does whatever it can to make things easier on the detective in peril. Even if that means solving a plumbing crisis.

In the clip above from Sunday’s episode of the Fox comedy, titled “Show Me Going,” which is exclusive to TheWrap, Gina (Chelsea Peretti) is getting pretty anxious just sitting around listening to the situation on Captain Holt’s (Andre Braugher). So she turns to her best source of comfort, listening to herself perform a song she herself wrote.

After Amy (Melissa Fumero) tolerates hearing the first few bars of a track that we can only assume is called “Subway Girl,” she cuts Gina off to ask for her help in fixing a broken toilet that was annoying Rosa earlier. Apparently Gina was supposed to have dealt with this last week. Um, you sure about that Amy? Or were you the one who was supposed to have dealt with it?

Here is the official synopsis for the episode: When Rosa responds to an active shooter alert, the rest of the squad is forced to stay back, desperately fearing for her safety. Feeling helpless, Jake (Andy Samberg) frantically brainstorms ways to offer his assistance to Rosa in the field, Terry (Terry Crews) faces an existential crisis, and Gina and Amy try to make themselves useful by fixing Rosa’s broken toilet.

Watch the clip above.

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” airs Sundays at 8:30/7:30 c on Fox.

We learned this weekend that Fox’s Golden Globe-winning comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been renewed for a second season, but that doesn’t mean surly Detective Rosa Diaz is any more chipper than usual.

In an exclusive clip from Tuesday’s episode, Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) has to make amends after publicly shaming a colleague. When her mea culpa is predictably prickly, Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) takes her aside to coach her on the proper apologizing technique.

Watch the consequent, ridiculously monotone “I’m sorry”-off below.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. Et on Fox.
