Here's some scoop on Brooklyn Nine-Nine from Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams' The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 2/6/15.

Bradley Whitford as Peralta’s dad on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is brilliant casting. Do you have any scoop? — Andy
The arrival of Peralta’s absentee father, an airline pilot who spent more time in the air than with his son, will shed more light on Jake’s daddy issues. “Jake yearns for a father figure,” Andy Samberg tells me. “He shows up and Jake is really excited because he always hoped he would be in his life more. They have it out a little bit. It’s about he and Jake reconnecting and Jake coming to terms with the reality of who his dad is.” Fun scene scoop from executive producer Dan Goor: “There’s a moment where Jake introduces him to Holt and they’re both dressed [alike], they’re both holding their hats and they look over at Jake and he goes, ‘This is super weird for me.’”
