Brooklyn Nine-Nine Co-Creator Explains How New NBC Comedy Sunset P.I. Differs From His Previous Hit — And Whether They Share A Universe
Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor reveals whether his new NBC comedy Sunset P.I. shares a universe with his previous hit, and how the two shows differ.
Dan Goor is set to return to the crime-solving comedy genre with the upcoming NBC series Sunset P.I., though fans shouldn't anticipate a direct carbon copy of his previous hit, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The 10-episode order for Sunset P.I. sees co-creation by Goor and fellow Brooklyn Nine-Nine alumnus Luke Del Tredici, starring Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, and Keith David.
While the procedural framework may feel familiar, Goor explains that the central relationship in Sunset P.I. differs significantly from that of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, focusing on a more mature will-they-won't-they dynamic between Mickey (Jake Johnson) and Faye (Jane Levy) rather than the ensemble dynamics of the original show. Although the possibility of Sunset P.I. existing in the same universe as Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been speculated, Goor firmly states that these worlds are distinct, though there may be some familiar faces from the larger comedy world making appearances in the new series. Sunset P.I. is set to air Mondays starting in February on NBC.
