Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Scoop on the introduction of Peralta's father from Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams

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.’”

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Scoop on the future of the show from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez

Here's some scoop on Brooklyn Nine-Nine from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 12/6/13.

Can you give Brooklyn Nine-Nine a little love? That show deserves some attention. — Lacey
It certainly does! In fact, I’m happy to share that it was one of the few shows I didn’t have to MAKE my family watch while I was home for the holidays (a.k.a.: a miracle). That said, when I caught up with Andy Samberg, I asked him what he thought about the show’s long-term prospects and whether or not he saw it eventually adopting Parks and Recreation-style long-term arcs. “I think, particularly on a big network like Fox, the mission statement in the beginning is you need to make the first bundle of shows kind of similar because you never know when someone’s going to jump in,” he said. “Obviously you want to change it up as much as you can, but you also want to really nail home some dynamics. And the thing we started on was Jake and Holt and their friction. But definitely expanding it is something everyone has been talking about and excited about.” He added that his confidence in executive producers Dan Goor and Mike Schur, both of Parks, leaves him without any worries about the show’s creative direction. “Any time you have [Schur and Goor] at the head of a show, you know that when they choose to do it, it’s going to be awesome and interesting and real and vulnerable and funny,” he says.
