The season 4 finale of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" ended with a guilty verdict for Jake (Andy Samberg) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), and the season 5 premiere will send them behind bars.
Samberg announced at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills that Tim Meadows and Lou Diamond Phillips will guest-star in the cop comedy’s upcoming season.
EW has learned that Meadows will play Caleb, cellmate of Jake (Samberg). And, oh, one more thing about Caleb: He’s a cannibal. “He cares about Jake, but they are put into a bind because they are both taken out of protective custody and thrown into general population,” "Brooklyn" co-creator Dan Goor tells EW.
“So he also has to look out for himself a bit.”
Phillips will pop up as an “erratic” criminal mastermind with whom Jake crosses paths, says Goor. Both will appear in multiple episodes.
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" returns to Fox on Sept. 26.
