Is this Gina’s replacement?
Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns to TV screens next month, with the cop sitcom moving to its new home on NBC.
After being saved from cancellation, the new network is making a big song and dance about the new season.
Last week, for example, we got an absolutely brilliant Die Hard-themed trailer.
Now we have another promo, giving us a look at the new series proper. It’s not very long, though it does include one interesting point: a title card flashes up promising “New Faces”.
That’s followed by a brief scene where Jake and Gina meet actor Mario Lopez, who appears to be playing himself; Lopez is, of course, best known for playing AC Slater in the wonderfully-crap early 90s sitcom Saved By The Bell.
This could just be a one-episode cameo, but that title card suggests it might be more. Plus, it has been announced that Chelsea Peretti, who plays Gina Linetti, is leaving the show. Could Lopez be her replacement? (Which would be weird if he playing himself).
Anyway, the full Brooklyn Nine-Nine trailer is here:

Season six of Brooklyn Nine-Nine starts on 10 January on NBC in America. It’s still not confirmed when and how we’ll see it over here, but it is likely to be on E4 again.
We do, however, know that season five will be hitting Netflix at the start of 2019.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was cancelled by Fox in May, but after much outcry, it was quickly picked up for another season by NBC.
