The Andy Samberg led sitcom has long since returned for its eighth and final season on NBC, with Netflix internationally mostly receiving all ten episodes. Here’s an updated schedule on when Brooklyn Nine-Nine was added to Netflix and why it isn’t streaming in the United States.
Created by Michael Schur and Dan Goor, the series originally began its life on Fox before heaving the rug pulled beneath it and eventually moving over to NBC for seasons 6 through 8.
It’s been a long wait between seasons 7 and 8 due to various issues but the eighth season will finally begin airing on August 12th and wrap up in mid-September 2021. It’s the first time the show has ever run during the summer and is being done to coincide with the Olympics. The show also had numerous episodes rewritten due to the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
Why isn’t Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix US?
We’ve covered this in the past, but if you’re in the US and looking at this article, you may wonder what’s happening here.
Netflix didn’t pick up the domestic streaming rights for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Those rights were exclusive to both Hulu and Peacock Premium (it’s not available on the free tier), with all seven seasons streaming as of the initial time of publishing.
Since then, Hulu lost the rights to the NBC show with it now being exclusively available on Peacock Premium.
NBC Universal does still license titles to Netflix US so never say never.

When will Season 8 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine be on Netflix internationally?
As Unogs reports, over 37 international regions of Netflix carry the show, although it’s not marketed as a Netflix Original.
In most regions of Netflix, you’ve been along for the ride for the entire show starting in 2014. Netflix UK, for instance, has gotten new seasons near enough every year. Most other regions also get the show annually but slightly differ from region to region. Season 7, for example, landed on Netflix UK in March 2021, whereas Netflix Canada got it in April 2021.
For more regions of Netflix, such as Australia and Canada, you received season 8 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in August 2022 and September 2021 respectively.
In the United Kingdom, your wait has been extra long, but Netflix UK has finally unveiled that season 8 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be available on April 20th, 2023.
