Chelsea Peretti announces she's leaving Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Entertainment Weekly

Peretti will depart sometime during Season 6. She is expected to return in a guest capacity. “B99 fans. Hiiiiiiiiiiii. Chelsea Peretti, here,” she wrote in a series of tweets. “I won’t be doing a full season of Brooklyn Nine Nine in Season 6. But that doesn’t mean I won’t ever be back, winky face emoji, heart emoji. I want to thank you for the hours you spent watching Gina be Gina: confident, idiotic-but-smart, pithy, and infused with rhythm and cell-phone radiation. It is hard for me to know exactly what to say.” Peretti then opted to post Emmy Rossum's exit statement from Shameless, tweeting: “Perhaps Emmy Rossum said it best when she wrote about Shameless (I bolded the extra relevant parts in her quote below).” Co-creator Dan Goor released a statement on Twitter confirming that Peretti's character will not be killed off. “I know for a fact that this isn’t the last we’ll see of Gina Linetti,” Goor said in the statement. “I mean, she got run over by a frickin’ bus, and she only missed like a week of work.”
