Following Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s season 7 finale, series boss Dan Goor spoke with TV Line whether the hit cop comedy will address the Coronavirus pandemic in season 8.

Per Goor, the writers are still debating about the potential storyline. Read his full comment below:

The [virtual] writers’ room has just started up, and that is really what we’re trying to figure out. Because not only is it set in New York, but they’re first responders, and something like one in five New York City police officers is out sick or self-isolating, so there’s a real debate in the room as to what we should do and how much we should focus on it. I feel like we will in some way acknowledge it, and live in it, or live with it. But we’re also conscious of the fact that the show has been a nice escape to some extent. That’s the debate. How do you balance being a fun escape with keeping the characters grounded within the world — and relevant? We really want to make sure we get that right, and we’re talking about it a lot.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, and Stephanie Beatriz
