Brooklyn Nine-Nine Star's Emotional Farewell Will Leave You In Tears

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has officially wrapped filming today, ahead of the final season airing.

Confirming the news on social media, Amy Santiago actress Melissa Fumero shared an emotional tribute to the series.

"[Eight] years ago, @beezus218 walked me, @stephaniebeatriz & @chelsanity to get our pictures taken for our lot badges," she said.

"Something about that moment made everything really real - we actually made that pilot, it actually got picked up, we actually were about to shoot a whole season of this incredible show on this lot with this amazing cast that I was loving more and more each day.

"Filled with so much excitement and nerves, Chelsea said something that made me laugh right as the photographer clicked the camera... and that moment was predicative of what the next 8 years would be like.

"Each day was full of laughter, of excitement, of nerves, of confidence, of elated exhaustion, and of beautiful friendship and collaboration. #Brooklyn99".

Responding in the comments, fans were obviously emotional wrecks.

"LOVE YOU!! i'll never stop crying to these stories," one wrote.

While another penned: "I'm gonna miss B99 so much".

"I'm not crying you are," a third wrote.

The final season will be comprised of 10 episodes, and is set to air over in the states in August on NBC.

It's the second time the series was cancelled after being taken off Fox in 2018, before being brought back to NBC following furious protests from fans.

Following the news the eighth season would be the last, executive producer Dan Goor said: "Ending the show was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honour the characters, the story and our viewers.

"I know some people will be disappointed it's ending so soon, but honestly, I'm grateful it lasted this long. Title of my sex tape."

Speaking of the final season, Andy Samberg, who plays Jake Peralta, said ahead of filming: "The challenge is going to be being honest about what is going on in the world and not shying away from the fact that there are serious problems, and also not punishing viewers who like our show and care about our characters," he explained.

"Our characters need to examine their roles in the world. They're going to be forced to look in the mirror and see who they're complicit with."
