FOXCrossover alert! Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl are colliding this October when Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and co. head to the Big Apple.
"The crossover episode has historically been the artistic high point of any show that has dared to attempt it," Elizabeth Meriwether, creator and executive producer of New Girl, said in a statement. "Maybe you remember ‘Blackout Thursday' on NBC, or even further back the infamous Alf/Gilligan's Island crossover of the late 1980s. New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will proudly and humbly go where few shows have gone since the 1990s. We know we have big shoes to fill, and we look forward to disappointing everyone. There's a 50 percent chance Alf will also be in both episodes. But there's also a 50 percent chance that is a lie."
Last year Bones and Sleepy Hollow had a crossover. The action kicks off at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11 with Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 8 p.m. and continues at 8:30 with New Girl.
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine crossing over with New Girl is very exciting, but (and this is supposed to be a secret) it's just the first step," Dan Goor, co-creator and executive producer of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, said in a statement. "Stay tuned for our two casts to do a soulful R&B number on Empire, co-anchor the Fox 10 o'clock News and connect for a touchdown on Fox NFL Sunday. But in all seriousness, we're all huge fans of New Girl here at the Nine-Nine, and we're excited to see our characters interact and to work with their incredible writers and producers. And also to see what their craft services are like, compared to ours."
The new seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl premiere Tuesday, Sept. 20 on Fox.
