Deadline reported that the president of scripted content, NBCUniversal television and streaming, Lisa Katz, recalled the "palpable excitement" the night in 2018 when they announced Brooklyn Nine-Nine would be returning to its rightful home at NBC. She stated that they have always loved the characters and the way they make everyone laugh while also "masterfully weaving" in storylines that make them reflect as well. Katz gave a "big thank you" to their wonderful partners – Dan Goor, the writers, producers, and the incredibly talented Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast and crew – for a comedy whose legacy will stand the test of time.

Chairman of Universal Studio Group, Pearlena Igbokwe, said that Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been one of the "jewels" in their comedy crown.

Executive producer Dan Goor said that he is “so thankful”l to NBC and Universal Television for allowing them to give the characters and their fans the ending they deserve. He recalled that he and co-creator Michael Schur first pitched the pilot episode to Andy Samberg, he said, 'I'm in, but I think the only way to tell this story is over exactly 153 episodes,' which he asserted was "crazy" because that was exactly the number the two creators had envisioned. He mentioned that he feels "incredibly lucky" to have worked with the amazing cast and crew for eight seasons.

Goor stated that they are not only among the most talented people in the business, but they are also all good human beings who have become a family. But most of all, he feels lucky that they have had the best fans in the world. Fans who "literally" saved them from cancellation. Fans who fill them with joy. He noted that ending the show was a difficult decision, but ultimately, they felt it was the "best way to honor" the characters, the story, and their viewers. Goor admitted that he knows some people will be disappointed it’s ending so soon, but he is grateful it lasted this long. "Title of my sex tape,” he concluded.
