Brooklyn Nine-Nine: First look at season 6

Vivian Zink/NBC

Like Gina, the Nine-Nine is aiming to keep it 100: After being cancelled by Fox in May and quickly revived by NBC, the beloved cop comedy returns to the air on Jan. 10 at 9 p.m. ET with a new set of cases and conundrums to be tackled newlyweds Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) and precinct captain/possible NYPD commissioner Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher). There’s much to preview, including the departure of Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and the return of the Pontiac Bandit (Craig Robinson), so start reading to see what to expect in season 6.

Did Holt get the big promotion, or will he stay with the precinct? “We resolve the cliffhanger in a very funny way, which will be the most satisfying way for the audience,” says Goor. “It’s a surprising resolution to the cliffhanger.” Hmmm, the squad looks a little concerned here…

Whatever the verdict is, Jake will clearly strike the right tone. In related news, “There are some big moves in the premiere that set up the season,” says Goor.

Peretti announced earlier this year that she’s leaving the show sometime during season 6, which means that the Nine-Nine will be down a cocksure civilian administrator and former Floorgasm member. Don’t despair, though; Peretti will return as a guest star. “She’s not gone and her presence lingers over the show,” says Goor. “While I miss having her in every episode, there’s no question watching the show that she’s still a part of it.”

“Before Gina departs the precinct,” teases Goor, “she and Jake go on an undcercover mission to one of New York’s swankiest locales.”

Familial relations between Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) and Gina (Peretti) become strained, as well as strange. “The marriage between Charles and Gina’s parents causes drama between the two of them, as stepbrother and sister — and former lovers,” says Goor.

Yes, this means that Charles will don a disturbing Gina mask.

Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) came out as bi in a winning story line last season, and her conservative parents had a hard time embracing the news, especially her mother. This season will continue to explore her sexuality and relationship with her parents. “We’re trying to honor the truth of how hard that can be,” says Goor. “We see how the schism between her mother and her has affected her.”

Jake and Rosa team up again, which may or may not explain why Rosa is wearing that wig. “In an episode that has echoes of ‘The Box,'” teases Goor, “we spend an entire episode at a crime scene as Jake and Rosa try to figure out how a murder occurred.”

The Pontiac Bandit is back in action and full of misdirection! The ever-elusive and always charming car thief named Doug Judy (Craig Robinson) returns, with Goor sharing: “The Pontiac Bandit is back for more high jinks and songs about smushing.” What brings him back into the fold? “The question is: is the Pontiac Bandit back to his car-stealing ways, or is there a copy cat out there who’s stealing his moves?”

Jake’s star-crossed friendship with Jake “is tested once again,” says Goor, who also hints at a “shocking twist.”

Speaking of shocking, prepare to drop your jaws (no, not your drawers, Hitchcock) when an early season 6 episode transports you back several decades to bring you the story of Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller). “Jake and Charles work a case and discover what made Hitchcock and Scully who they are today.”
