Brooklyn Nine-Nine | For Your Consideration 

Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Music Tale

From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur ("Parks and Recreation"), and starring Emmy Award winners Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live") and Andre Braugher ("Men of a Certain Age," "Homicide: Life on the Street"), “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is a new single-camera ensemble comedy about what happens when a talented, but carefree, detective gets a new captain with a lot to prove.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE won this year’s Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical, and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical (Samberg).

Detective Jake Peralta (Samberg) is a good enough cop that he\'s never had to work that hard or follow the rules too closely. Perhaps because he has the best arrest record among his colleagues, he\'s been enabled - if not indulged - throughout his entire career. That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain Ray Halt (Braugher), who reminds this hotshot cop to respect the badge.

Jake may have collared more criminals, but Detective Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero, "One Life to Live," "Gossip Girl") is close behind, and she\'s keenly aware of how many arrests she needs to close the gap. Amy grew up with seven brothers who were all cops. She\'s the first girl in the family to put on a police uniform, and suffice it to say: she\'s extremely competitive...about everything.

Also working cases in Brooklyn\'s 99th precinct is Sergeant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews, "Bridesmaids," "Everybody Hates Chris"), a linebacker of a man who\'s lost his nerve, not because he\'s a wimp, but because a year ago, his wife had twin baby girls - Cagney and Lacey - and he can\'t imagine not seeing them grow up. Detective Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio, "Wreck-It Ralph," "Superbad"), who idolizes Jake, is the precinct\'s workhorse; he\'s not that brilliant, he\'s not physically gifted, but he tries harder than anyone else. Charles pines for Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz, "Modern Family," "The Closer"), with whom he stands no chance at all. Rosa is simultaneously tough, sexy and scary as hell. She\'s vocally opinionated about everything. Cleaning up everyone\'s mess is Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti, "Parks and Recreation," "Kroll Show"), the eccentric, civilian office manager who somehow gets involved in everyone\'s business.

Together, these tightly knit - or is it tightly wound? - cops interrogate suspects, arrest perps and solve murders. But, ultimately, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is a workplace comedy that\'s not really about the job. It\'s about the men and women behind the badge - singing karaoke, grabbing a beer and hitting on each other - all while protecting the fine people of Brooklyn.

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is produced by Universal Television and 3 Arts Entertainment. The series is created and written by Dan Goor ("Late Night with Conan O\'Brien," "Parks and Recreation") and Michael Schur ("The Office," "Parks and Recreation"). The series is executive-produced by Goor, Schur and David Miner ("30 Rock"). The pilot was directed by the team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("21 Jump Street," "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs").
