Brooklyn Nine-Nine has truly made its mark on television, winning over fans with its fantastic ensemble cast and clever humor. After wrapping up its 8 seasons in 2021, the beloved cop comedy left many fans wishing for more. While it doesn’t have any spinoffs or related shows like some popular series, B99 fans have some really exciting options they’ve been hoping for.
Among its characters, Detective Michael Hitchcock and Norm Scully stand out as the lovable, albeit lazy, duo whose backstory remains largely untold. In the season 6 episode, Hitchcock & Scully offered a tantalizing glimpse into their past, revealing their transformation from dynamic detectives in the ’80s to the laid-back officers we know today. The story has sparked interest among fans for a potential spinoff or prequel series, focusing on their earlier adventure.

While the desire for more Brooklyn Nine-Nine content is strong among fans along with the star Jake Peralta’s (Andy Samberg) spinoff and Captain Holt’s spinoff (unfortunately, the actor Andre Braugher is no more), there are no official announcements regarding a spinoff series. The ideas just reflect the creative possibilities that could expand the universe of the show.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans want Alan Ritchson to reprise his role as young Scully in a spinoff
Alan Ritchson‘s portrayal of young Scully was met with acclaim, highlighting his versatility as an actor. Not only his performance in Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a standout but also he holds a growing list of notable roles, including his portrayal of Jack Reacher in the Amazon Prime series Reacher. His star status has led fans to express interest in seeing more of his work, including potential spinoff projects of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine show.
Despite the enthusiasm from both fans and cast members, a spinoff focusing on Hitchcock and Scully has yet to materialize. The reasons behind this remain unclear, leaving fans to wonder about the untapped potential of exploring the duo’s backstory in greater depth. A petition titled “Give Hitchcock & Scully the Justice They Deserve: A Spin-Off TV Series” has garnered attention, reflecting the demand for such a project.
The iconic storyline of Hitchcock and Scully offers a fertile ground for storytelling, blending action, humor, and character development. As fans continue to express interest in a spinoff, the question remains: why hasn’t this promising project come to fruition? Only time will tell if the rise of Hitchcock and Scully’s downfall will be explored further. For now, fans can enjoy the existing episodes and continue to engage in discussions about potential future projects.
