If youâre looking for some new Brooklyn Nine-Nine intel, Fox has what you need with this summerâs hottest casting news: Bill Hader will be stepping in to play the precinctâs new captain.
This show has everything: Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Joe Lo Trulio, and now the former SNL star and current Mr. Peanut voice, Bill Hader. After Braugherâs Captain Holt was reassigned in last yearâs second season finale, the episode ended with the rest of the precinct waiting for the new, unnamed captain by the elevator. The show concluded without revealing who was waiting in there, but now we know that Hader will be the one stepping out.
With Braugher still in the cast (and generating a supporting actor Emmy nomination for both seasons), it seems as though Haderâs role will not be a permanent one, but any chance to see him and his former Saturday Night Live cast member Samberg reunited on screen will be an opportunity fans of his will take.
The only information on Haderâs character is that he is âefficient,â which could also describe the very proper Captain Raymond Holt, who despite his stiff upper-lip has proven to be both a loving and beloved boss on the very funny and secretly sentimental show. Will Haderâs character prove to be Holtâs equal in annoyingly proper behavior without all the secret fun, or will Haderâs character go in a very different direction? With his broad range of voices, characters, and impressions, the possibilities for Haderâs captain seem endless.
So which direction do you hope they take with the showâs newest captain? Let us know in the comments section below.
