Season 7 Will Be the Shortest Season Yet, With 13 Episodes
New episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will air weekly on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. EST. According to Newsweek, the latest season will be the shortest in the show’s history, with just 13 episodes set to air, compared to the 23 episodes the show had during its run on Fox. The sitcom had 18 episodes on NBC last year. However, as Deadline previously noted, NBC also commissioned Season 6 for 13 episodes before adding an extra five, so Season 7 might end up being longer than originally planned.
