Amy Santiago actress Melissa Fumero also shared an emotional tweet about filming her final scenes. "Tomorrow begins the final week of filming #Brooklyn99," she wrote. "It's very surreal. Trying to stay hyper present, take in all the little moments, and trying to find a moment with each person on our wonderful crew without full on bursting into tears."
News of the show's cancellation came in February. At the time, the show's co-creator Dan Goor said on Twitter: "I'm so thankful to NBC and Universal Television for allowing us to give these characters and our fans the ending they deserve."
The new season will begin airing on NBC in August
He later added in a statement: "Ending the show was a difficult decision but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honour the characters, the story and our viewers. I know some people will be disappointed it's ending so soon, but honestly, I'm grateful it lasted this long."
