Get Ready for a New Girl / Brooklyn Nine-Nine Crossover Event

If you've ever wondered "do New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine take place in the same cinematic universe?" Fox has your answer: a resounding yes.

The network announced during its Television Critics Association Summer Tour that the comedies will have a one-hour crossover event Oct. 11, where the boys and girls of "New Girl" meet the cops of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" during a trip to New York.

It will take place over back-to-back episodes of the two shows.





"The crossover episode has historically been the artistic high point of any show that has dared to attempt it," "New Girl" creator Elizabeth Meriwether said in a tongue-in-cheek statement.

"Maybe you remember 'Blackout Thursday' on NBC, or even further back the infamous Alf/Gilligan's Island crossover of the late 1980s. New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will proudly and humbly go where few shows have gone since the 1990s. We know we have big shoes to fill, and we look forward to disappointing everyone. There's a 50% chance Alf will also be in both episodes. But there's also a 50% chance that is a lie."



"New Girl" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" premiere Sep. 20 at 8/7c and 8:30/7:30c on Fox.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "New Girl" Crossover Details Revealed

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "New Girl" will stage a crossover stunt that begins on "Brooklyn" and picks up steam a half-hour later on "New Girl", where the majority of the intershow mingling happens.

(Damon Wayans Jr., — who starred on "New Girl" and guest-starred as a different character on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" — will not be popping up, though that would have been a logic-melter.)

“Obviously it’s a flashy decision, an attention-grabbing kind of thing to do, but I genuinely am a fan of crossover episodes,” says Andy Samberg. “I think they’re really funny and fun. And I love New Girl. Always have. I am excited to hang with those guys.”





So, what brings the Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and her friends to New York?

“Schmidt [Max Greenfield] is receiving an award from his old high school and the entire gang from L.A. has come to New York,” says executive producer Dan Goor. “In our scene, Jake needs to commandeer a vehicle that’s driven by a girl. Who’s that girl? It’s Jess!”





While only Jess will cross over to "Brooklyn", Jake, Holt, Charles, and Chelsea Peretti’s Gina will be seen on "New Girl".

“My dream is that the crossover is a Mr. Robot episode,” quips Samberg, “and we find out that Jake and Schmidt are the same guy.”
